this report has been filed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtkhtml3.14/+bug/748345 "As soon as the window appeared, I double-clicked the top of it to maximize it, but instead of the interface elements expanding to fill the additional space, the application hung for a few seconds and then crashed." "#0 0x00247f8e in html_engine_get_table (e=0x9be60b8) at htmlengine-edit-table.c:44 No locals.

Downstream bug report about the same from 4.0.1: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=708468 It would be nice to have some reproducer. From the backtrace, I suppose it's when working with a mail which has tables, though the default view has tables in itself too (the headers are formatted inside tables).
GtkHtml is not under active development anymore. Evolution (its main consumer) switched to a WebKit backend a while ago. It is currently unlikely that there will be any further GtkHtml development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping (bug 778387) to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
