1159217 - Writing accented letters in Google Drive or Facebook comments makes Nightly crash

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1117087

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Xavier Mouton-Dubosc]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/39.0
Build ID: 20150424211423

Steps to reproduce:

Writing a document in Google Drive with a Firefox Nightly onto Linux, on a AZERTY keyboard. I redact a text in French, so I have to use circumflexed vowels.  


Actual results:

Hiting [^] and [e] makes (not every times) Nightly Crash.


Expected results:

Puting a "ê" in my text

Comment 1

[Xavier Mouton-Dubosc]

Puting a "û" with [^] [u] also makes crashes.

Comment 2

This bug also exists on Facebook, in "comment" (not "status") fields. The letters â, ẑ, ê, ŷ, û, ô, ŝ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŵ, ĉ, ^ (^+space) and their capital counterparts make the browser crash every time.

Tested under both Iceweasel 39.0a2 and Firefox Developer Edition 39.0a2 for Linux (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/39.0).

When using Firefox Developer Edition, tested both under "normal mode" (after refreshing firefox) and "safe mode".

Copying and pasting the characters works as expected.

Do you have crash reports (bp-...) in about:crashes? If yes, could you post the links.
Does it crash on Windows too?

Here's the crash report : https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/333043bb-1a8c-4519-8793-75d4f2140209
I can't test on windows.

I tried to comment a Facebook message with accented letters with FF40 on Win 7, no crash. I guess it's specific to Linux version.

Ghjuvan: The crash report you posted in Comment 4 shows a really old version of the browser running Aurora - 20140113004002. Are you sure that is the correct crash report?

Comment 7

[glacambre]

Marcia : Sorry, this was an old crash report. I don't even know why it was in my crash reports since I'm using a clean, newly installed version of firefox.
Here's the actual crash report : https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/61782d92-7aa5-473c-a778-cdb612150428

Comment 8

[Loic]

If we can trust the crash signature, this bug is a dupe of bug 1117087.

Comment 9

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Yes, it appears this is a dupe of Bug 1117087.

Comment 10

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

I forgot to put in the initial comment that the reporter did not provide a crash report, and we are assuming that the reporter's crash is the same as Ghjuvan's. If it  isn't then the reporter should reopen the bug and let us know what his crash report was. I left a ni on him in case he wants to provide that.

about:crashes  : URL not valid

How can i get it ?

Comment 12

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Xavier: Not sure what you are hitting with the URL not valid - when I type about:crashes in the URL bar, I get my list of Submitted Crash Reports. If there are no reports, the list would be empty.
