258057 - FF crashed when an URL is dragged and dropped on a tab

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Kjetil Kjernsmo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040823 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040823 Firefox/0.9.3

I tried to drag and drop an URL from a KDE application (KSIrc) and drop it on
the tab title on a newly opened tab. Firefox crashed.


Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
As said, I tried a few times to reproduce the problem without success. This is
what I did:

1. Open a new tab Ctrl+T
2. Click on a highlighted URL in KSIrc. 
3. Drag it to the tab title and drop it.

Actual Results:  
The browser crashed. In my .xsession-errors, I found a lot of lines like (the
report is truncated, they are identical):

(Gecko:2342): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkdnd.c: line 643 (gtk_drag_get_data): asse
rtion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

(Gecko:2342): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkdnd.c: line 643 (gtk_drag_get_data): asse
rtion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

...skipping...
rtion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

(Gecko:2342): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkdnd.c: line 643 (gtk_drag_get_data): asse
rtion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

(Gecko:2342): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkdnd.c: line 643 (gtk_drag_get_data): asse
rtion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
Xlib: sequence lost (0x2db362 > 0x2cb363) in reply type 0x0!
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)'.
  (Details: serial 2929506 error_code 17 request_code 20 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)


Expected Results:  
Open the URL in the tab.

My Firefox is installed from Debian Sid packages, and I have tabbrowser
extensions 1.11.2004082102 installed.

That's about all I have. Sorry I couldn't reproduce it and for being somewhat
out of date, but I figured I should report it anyway.

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.
