Comment 1 Martin Schaaf 2008-03-18 15:55:54 UTC

Created attachment 107548 [details] [review]
Patch that checks for initialized epiphany history.

I am not sure how it is possible that deskbar can query this module before it is completly initialized? This is possibly a bug too.

Comment 2 Sebastian Pölsterl 2008-03-24 11:00:46 UTC

Yes, that error shouldn't happen. I have to investigate this problem.

What epiphany modules do have enabled?

Comment 3 Martin Schaaf 2008-03-24 11:58:18 UTC

The same crash happens in a newer version with the tomboy plugin.

Only chronic and bookmark. Search engines not.

Comment 5 Sebastian Pölsterl 2008-03-24 18:33:55 UTC

The problem you mentioned in comment 3 is not related to this one at all. Please file a new bug for this one.

I try to reproduce the epiphany bug in the meantime.

Comment 6 Sebastian Pölsterl 2008-07-21 17:27:30 UTC

Can you still reproduce this bug with the latest version?

Comment 7 Martin Schaaf 2008-07-24 06:32:51 UTC

I do not know because I didn't use it any longer. But the patch I attached previously fixed my problem.

Comment 8 Sebastian Pölsterl 2008-08-24 20:38:40 UTC

If the bug is still reproduceable without the patch with latest version, I'm going to commit the patch, but I need someone to report if it's reproduceable.
