Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Mark Saunders]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021206
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021206

Copying text from the URL bar using "copy" on the right click context menu
causes Mozilla to hang or exit without warning.
This happens often but appears to be somewhat random.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on URL bar
2. Select copy from context menu
3.

Actual Results:  
Sometimes Mozilla will freeze, and the context menu stays visible.
Other times Mozilla exits.

Expected Results:  
Copied the selected text to the clipboard.

I am using KDE 3.1RC3 on Gentoo linux 1.4.
I am using the "Classic" Mozilla theme.
I am using a combination of the "mosfet liquid" and "keramik" KDE styles.
I am using the "Geramik" gtk theme.

are you using a talkback-enabled build?  (if so, please provide a talkback ID
for one of the crashes)

Hi Mark, are you still seeing this behaviour with a current build?

If not, please resolve the bug as WORKSFORME.

Cheers.
