Description pingo 2017-06-18 22:50:28 UTC
Hi,

Using Epiphany (Gnome Web) as my primary browser. Face problem with certain websites where it crashes.

>Reproducing:

For example following result in error:

    1. http://www.akitaonrails.com/2017/01/10/arch-linux-best-distro-ever
    2. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/06/quickly-change-folder-color-ubuntu

Distribution: Arch Linux (unable to obtain support from distro's forum).


>Results in:

    Oops!

    Reload

>Further info:
Tried to find reason using gdb but nothing useful:

    [me@my ~]# gdb /usr/bin/epiphany
    GNU gdb (GDB) 8.0
    ...
    
    This GDB was configured as "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu".
    Type "show configuration" for configuration details.
    For bug reporting instructions, please see:
    <http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/bugs/>.
    Find the GDB manual and other documentation resources online at:
    <http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/documentation/>.
    For help, type "help".
    Type "apropos word" to search for commands related to "word"...
    
    Reading symbols from /usr/bin/epiphany...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
    (gdb) bt full
    No stack.

>Reason for creating this report:
Similar to closed (and old) bug reports #166991, #395360 which remain unsolved due to missing information.

>Need anything more?
Please let me know how to produce further information for your investigation.


Thank you.

I can reproduce both of these.
Comment 2 Michael Catanzaro 2017-06-23 18:12:40 UTC
Looks like they're actually the same crash.
Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2017-06-23 18:14:21 UTC
This is WebKit #173643
