The browser seems to crash, almost at random, when scrolling with the scrollbar
on the right edge of the browser window.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Web page that more than fills the window.
2. Click the scrollbar on the right.
3. Scroll down.

The above are from 3 separate crashes, not just one crash.

Expected Results:  Text and images should simply scroll.

Warp 4, fixpack 12.
Matrox G400 video adapter, using Matrox drivers.
Keywords: crash
dup of bug 140744 ?
It's possible that this bug duplicates bug #140744, but the overall system
environment was slightly different between the two instances. At the time the
previous problem arose, the system was heavily loaded. In this newer instance
Mozilla had the machine virtually to itself.

I have also reconfigured the GUI slightly, by removing an OS/2 program called
XWorkplace, which had been causing some difficulties regarding clean shutdowns,
etc. The GUI is back to all-IBM code.
Here is another crash that occurred in virtually identical conditions: lightly
loaded machine, scrolling a page. This was using RC3 {Build ID 2002052410}.

In the discussion of bug #140744, Mike Kaply suggested that I try marking the
Mozilla executable for uniprocessor dispatch. I think it is an opportune time to
do that, as I have been allowing it to use both CPUs as it wants.

I think I should also point out that I am using the Modern theme. The scrollers
in that theme behave visibly differently from the scrollers in the Classic theme
in that they change colour when the mouse pointer clicks onto them. [Perhaps the
Classic theme does this too, but if it does then it does so so subtlythat I
cannot see it.]
Here are two more crashes while scrolling:

MOZRMI36.DLL

As you can see, these occurred within 10 minutes of each 
other. There was another, unrelated crash of Mozilla in 
between. So these both occurred within a short time of 
starting Mozilla.

Given the consistent scenario, scrolling with the mouse, 
and the seemingly random locations of the crashes I was 
starting to suspect some external agent, such as the video 
driver. However, no other app suffers in this way; it is 
only Mozilla.
One further thought:

The major difference between Mozilla and other apps is, indeed, the scrollbars.
Other apps use the native scrollbars supplied by OS/2's Presentation Manager.
Mozilla supplies its own. Since all of these crashes have occurred while
operating a Mozilla-supplied scrollbar, an obvious way to test the relative
stability of Mozilla's would be a facility to revert to native PM scrollbars. I
cannot find any such setting in the preferences dialogue.
uhm, does the problem still exist in 1.1beta?
David, are you still seeing these crashes?
At present I am still running Mozilla 1.0 GA, so I am still seeing crashes
during scrolling.

I plan to upgrade to 1.2 this weekend and will report again after I have that
running.
I have just installed Mozilla 1.2b, build id 2002101717, and the following
occurred when scrolling with the scroll bar within a few minutes:

That's probably a video driver trap, not a Mozilla specific trap.

Can you provide more info on your configuration?
I am running eCS Pro 1.02 with the SMP kernel. The machine has two Athlon MP
1600+ processors and 512 MiB of RAM.

The video card is a Matrox G400 with 32 MiB of video RAM. The video driver is
SciTech SDD/SE 7.09.

I have tried with the uniprocessor kernel, so that the OS/2 despatcher only uses
one of the CPUs, but similar problems occur. I will try upgrading to the newer
release of SDD this coming weekend.

Summary: Scrolling crashes browser → [Matrox video card] Scrolling crashes browser
When I changed my drivers from version 4.94 to 4.00 mozilla does not crash anymore.
The version numbers 4.00 and 4.94 don't make immediate sense. Are these the
SciTech driver or the native Matrox driver? I am using the SciTech driver.
I use the native matrox drivers.
Since I had some spare time this evening and the machine in question wasn't busy
either, I did some experimentation with video drivers. All of this is using the
1.3a build of Mozilla (2002121023).

This issue originally arose using the SDD/se driver for my Matrox G400 video
card. Under this combination, Mozilla would crash at random locations when
updating the screen.

I had the OS/2 boot menu switch back to VGA, which uses the VGAGRADD driver.
Mozilla was still unstable when scrolling.

I then did a SETVGA command and rebooted, which installed the native VGA
hardware driver. Mozilla did not crash at all during this time. It scrolled
without incident.

I then installed the native Matrox driver from the CD that I received with the
video card. Again, Mozilla scrolled without incident. I then increased the
resolution to 1024 x 768 x 16M. Mozilla remained stable and continues to operate
well.

The common denominator in all this is OS/2's GRADD interface, used by both the
SDD and VGAGRADD drivers. The standard VGA and native Matrox drivers both use
the older, 32-bit interface introduced with OS/2 2.11.

At this point, it looks like the traps are caused by GRADD, so perhaps the OS/2
support techs at IBM should take a look.
I get this on my Windows 2000 Professional machine as well. It happens only with
Mozilla.

When browsing any site that requires the use of the scrollbar, the screen
display will _sometimes_ become corrupted when the scrollbar is clicked or
dragged. (see attachment) If Mozilla is not immediately closed or minimized, the
system locks within a few seconds, requiring a hard reset.

If Mozilla is minimized, the desktop displays properly. If restored from the
taskbar, the screen display will again become corrupted if the scrollbar is
touched. If I go into my video properties and change the screen resolution
before restoring Mozilla, the problem goes away until I make heavy use of
scrollbars again.

Happened with older versions of Mozilla as well. Video drivers must not like
Mozilla...

    
    

    
  
Same too happens for me. Mozilla 1.4/Firebird 0.6 (on Win2K) can crash during 
scrolling. The crash always freezes the PC completely and can sometimes result 
in significant screen corruption. Reboot required. The crash happens at least 
once a day (with relatively little usage of the browser).

Gfx card is Matrox G450 dualhead (dualhead mode disabled). Just upgraded to 
latest driver bundle (5.88.061) but the problem persists.

I only noticed the problem after upgrading to Mozilla 1.4, though I'd only used 
1.3 for a relatively short time.

Aled,

does this problem still happen for you?

No, but I don't use the PC with the G450 graphics card in it anymore! (I think I still have it about somewhere though.)

    
    

    
  
(In reply to comment #23)
> Aled,
> David,
> does this problem still happen for you?

I am currently using both Seamonkey and Firefox on a machine with a Matrox G400 video card and both run perfectly well. The major change is that this machine runs Linux, not OS/2. I no longer have the OS/2 box with the Matrox card; my current OS/2 box has an ATI Radeon card in it.


    
    

    
  
I've upgraded to the beta version of 1.5 and this one solved my issue. Later I upgraded with each new version and the problem never came back.

Later I also moved from the Matrox drivers to the Microsoft drivers for the video card.

Yes If I remember correct.

I found this solution in a posting on the Mozilla message board. So I tried an it stopped crashing. 

BTW I was using a Matrox G200.

MozillaAS v1.4.x is not supported anymore.

Can anyone reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?

    
    

    
  
(1 month later)

No reply from reporter(s).

R.WorksForMe, per previous comments.

Reopen if you can reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9.
