Description Reinout van Schouwen 2014-08-27 20:46:52 UTC

On Mageia 5 Cauldron I experience frequent freezes with Epiphany 3.12.1.
There is no clear pattern in the web sites visited but every time the mouse cursor is a left-pointing drag handle when moving over the browser window.

backtrace:

Comment 1 Michael Catanzaro 2014-08-27 23:23:45 UTC

I bet you have webkitgtk+ 2.4.4 or lower and have the GTK+3 evince browser plugin installed.  You need 2.4.5 to handle GTK+3 browser plugins.

Comment 2 Carlos Garcia Campos 2014-08-28 07:03:49 UTC

Yes, it looks like a problem with GTK+ 3 plugins on webkitgtk versions that don't support them. Note that 2.4.5 will not handle GTK+3 plugins, but it will not freeze, I made this release mainly to fix this problem.

Comment 3 Reinout van Schouwen 2014-08-28 08:12:00 UTC

Thanks, I filed downstream bug https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14000 .
