Browser crashes on text size increase
Last modified: 2008-09-29 08:02:39 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. This only happens on some sites. Example: go to http://erlang.org 2. Choose "View > Larger Text", or use keyboard shortcut (Ctrl++). 3. Browser immediately crashes. Stack trace: Other information: This is the console output when the crash happens: ** (epiphany-browser:28986): DEBUG: LoginManager tapped GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x816b470: NP_GetMIMEDescription GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x816b470: NP_GetMIMEDescription return GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x816b470: NP_GetValue GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x816b470: NP_GetValue: returning plugin name.

Confirmed but we need a stacktrace.
Here is the stack trace:

Yep but we need one with symbols, I had no luck in Ubuntu, seems like dbg packages are broken again...

Thanks! Looking at the stack trace, it's highly likely that the problem is in Mozilla code. Have you searched Mozilla bugzilla for a similar bug?

-> gecko bug, needs to be upstreamed.

sorry about duplicate... however, whether the issue i posted relates to upstream mozilla or not, the particular issue that _i_ mentioned is that the actual response time for a webpage to resize is greater. maybe this is mozilla, but it's not a duplicate. hope that helps? cheers. _J

@James, the response time may be a separate problem, but the crash report you filed is most probably a duplicate of this bug.

According to glandium, the problem lies in epiphany. See http://bugs.debian.org/486744 for two possible patches.
This is a duplicate of bug 525357. Reopening and resolving again to clear up any confusion.
