Description Toralf Lund 2002-03-18 14:12:10 UTC 
Package: galeon
Severity: major
Version: 1.1.2
Synopsis: Galeon crashes when entering URL for PDF file
Bugzilla-Product: galeon
Bugzilla-Component: general

Description:
Galeon will crash when I enter the URL of a PDF file as command line argument or in the "Location" box. MIME type entry is

<mimeitem name="application/pdf" action="2" helper="GNOME Default" helperNeedsTerminal="0" helperTakesUrl="1" alwaysUse="1"/>

GNOME is set up to open PDF files in ggv. The setup for postscript files is identical, and works just fine.

------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-03-18 09:12 -------

Unknown version 1.1.x in product galeon. Setting version to the default, "unspecified".
Reassigning to the default owner of the component, yaneti@declera.com.
Comment 1 Toralf Lund 2002-03-18 14:21:08 UTC 
Actually, it looks to me like Galeon gets confused by the fact that
I've displayed PDF files via the "plugger" plugin in the past. I've
disabled its PDF support now, put it seems like *something* isn't
updated properly.
Comment 2 Toralf Lund 2002-03-18 14:43:51 UTC 
Workaround:
  rm .mozilla/appreg .mozilla/toralf/vle2uxa0.slt/plugin-list

Comments:
1) Plugin lists should be reset automatically.
2) Passing a file to a plugin that can't really handle it should not
result in a crash.
3) I don't understand why preference setting didn't override plugin info.
