With the 1.8a4 final and some later 1.8a5 nightlies, I am seeing regular and
irritating crashes while I am just sitting reading a longish webpage (this AM it
crashed on a short webpage as I was trying to scroll down with the scroll wheel). 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Leave browser running
2. Wake from sleep and begin to browse
3. Stare at screen and watch spinning wheel start and then app crash. 

Actual Results:  
Crash

Expected Results:  
Nothing

I don't know if this is related to the separate theme problem I've been having
-- cannot switch themes or download new themes at the moment. Using Pinstripe;
any attempt to switch trashes entire chrome folder and Adblock etc.

Other thought -- it may be related to the security update from Apple -
30-Sep-2004. But I think I was experiencing the crashes (and definitely the
theme problems) before that. 

Still, the normally rock solid InDesign CS crashed today, and I have gotten two
kernel panics on shutdown recently (extremely rare on my powerbook), so there
may be an underlying system issue.

Those four talkback incidents have totally different stacks.... (see

I have a slightly different (but, seemingly related)
failure.

Running Mac OS X 1.3.?? on a dual 1.8 GHz G5,
Mozilla 1.7.5 with the Toy Factory theme fails
like this.

I launch and all is well.  I can use it as much as I want to.
I leave Mozilla running and the computer goes to sleep.
When I return and wake it up, Mozilla is fine *except*
that I can no longer select/edit the web address
menu bar (which makes browsing difficult).

I can close the open Mozilla frames and create a new
frame (File/New) and the new frame works just fine
(NOTE: I do not need to exit Mozilla, just close the
frame).

This does not happen with the Mozilla 1.5 release.

Peter: can you try a newer (trunk) build?

Comment 5

[Peter Edman]

I haven't seen this recently. Latest build I've got is 2005043010. I'd be ok
with marking WFM.
