Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English Other, defect)

Description

[Stuart Lamble]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030908 Debian/1.4-4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030908 Debian/1.4-4

The Red Dwarf site has, amongst other things, images of the upcoming DVD cover
art. Clicking on the "Click to enlarge" link for the full cover art (showing the
front, back, and spine in a single image) causes Mozilla to crash.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla.
2. Open the above linked URL.
3. Click on the second "click to enlarge" link, just below "Really close.
Seriously, a live polymorph could have squelched into the room and we wouldn't
have noticed."
Actual Results:  
Mozilla crashed.

Expected Results:  
Not crashed. :-)

If other information, such as window manager, etc., is desired, please let me
know. Using Mozilla build 2003021217 on Mac OS X (10.2.8), the bug does not
appear. (I probably should upgrade Moz on my mac... ah, t'hell with it, I'm
getting a new lapdog in the next week, it can wait until then. :)

Clicking on either "enlarge this image" link causes the crash, not just the
second one. No surprise -- they're probably using identical JavaScript with
slightly different parameters for the different images.

---> Browser-General until we can get a stack trace. Stuart,
could you download a Talkback-enabled build? 

When you crash, you can fill out the Talback form and submit it.
Then run mozilla/components/talback to get the incident ID.

If you post the incident ID(s) here, we can look up the trace -

typos above: talkback, not "talback"

Comment 4

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

no crash using win2k build 20030523..

Can you pleas etry a mozilla.org 1.5 RC1 build with Talkback support ?
Reason: 
We don't support debian builds (because they have their own patches), 
1.4 is to old to report bugs (We accept only bugs from the latest milestone)
And Talkback is only availible in Mozilla.org builds and we need a stack trace
from a debug build or from Talkback.

(maybe wait 1-2 days and someone if someone else can reproduce this on Linux)

-> Bg for now because opening a window via javascript: is NOT Javascript Engine

Downloaded the release candidate 1 talkback build, and tried the above. No
crash, but I did get a great deal of error messages saying:

Gtk-WARNING **: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with
width 602 and height 40255

in the console from which I ran Mozilla. There was also a fair amount of
weirdness with the window manager, when the window came up, showing the main
window section, plus a section _above_ it that seemed to be a very tall triangle
-- but when I positioned it on screen, just the regular window appeared. Strange...

in http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/deck01/show_pic.js
the page attempts to open the window with:

var o_Win = window.open('show_pic.html?imgN=' + s_ImgSrc + '&winX=' + i_Width +
'&winY=' + i_Height, 'RedDwarf', 'width=' + i_Width + ',height=' + i_Height + 25);

notice
   'height=' + i_Height + 25);

i_Height is 402, so that gets evaluated to 'height=40225', which is (of course)
evil.

it should be 
   'height=' + (i_Height + 25));

WFM on XP, recent build. Marking WFM, if somebody still sees the bug in Linux
with a recent build, reopen it but I doubt it should be into the Tech Evangelism
section, badly designed sites are noit supposed to crash the browser.
