GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 777925
Crash clicking on short URLs
Last modified: 2017-01-30 15:21:18 UTC
Steps to reproduce in Epiphany 3.22.5: 1) Open https://twitter.com/webkit/status/823967381026263040 2) Click on the link: "developer.apple.com/library/prerel…" Then a new tab is opened with URL "https://t.co/P5kv8GZW0B", but it crashes. Also the original Twitter tab crashes too. I cannot reproduce it using MiniBrowser (WebKitGTK+ 2.14.3).
Actually I've realized it happens in a simple web page using Google URL Shortener too.
Created attachment 344535 [details] Example to reproduce the issue
It works perfectly fine for me, same versions of Epiphany and WebKit. Thanks for taking the time to report this. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it. Can you get us a stack trace? Please see https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/Bugzilla/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. When pasting a stack trace in this bug report, please reset the status of this bug report from NEEDINFO to its previous status. Thanks in advance!
So this is the backtrace I got:
+ Trace 237098
PS: It seems I cannot remove the NEEDINFO, the only option I had is mark it as RESOLVED.
