257820 - control enter submit crashes X server

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Tom Laudeman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616

About 50% of the time, the key combination control-enter used to submit a form
will crash the X-windows server. E.g. the KDE desktop goes away and is replaced
by the Fedora Core 2 login. The X log file reports

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

The search string I entered into Google was 

BMW "2-series"

I'm running Fedora Core 2, recently updated, KDE desktop.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to google.com
2. Search for    BMW "2-series"   (other strings work too)
3. hold Ctrl, press Enter. X-Windows crashes about 80% of the time. (4 out of 5
tries).

Actual Results:  
The X server crashed, and I was back at the GDM or whatever that blue Fedora
Core login screen is.

Expected Results:  
I expect it not to crashe. There seems to be many requests for enhancements
related to control-enter key combo. I think the form should submit. I use this
key combination all the time in email since it is the short cut to send a message.

Please file a bug on Fedora Core 2, specifically on the X version it uses... 
This is not a problem with RedHat 8, for instance, with 1.7 or current Mozilla
builds.

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
