269727 - Crash when opening Klipper's context menu

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Travis Evans]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Right-clicking the Klipper (clipboard tool) icon in KDE's taskbar tray to select
a piece of text to paste from the clipboard often causes Firefox to crash.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse normally using Firefox.
2. From time to time, try opening the Klipper context menu (perhaps after
copying a few URLs to the clipboard). Eventually, Firefox crashes.
Actual Results:  
Firefox crashes around 25-50% (estimated) of the times the menu is opened under
normal use for me.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should not crash as a result of something done in a different program or
process.

KDE version: 3.2.1
Distro: SuSE Linux 9.1 Professional

This has happened to me with recent official 1.0 release candidates of Firefox.
It does not seem to happen in the Mozilla suite.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
