28462 - View Source -> segfault

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 21909

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[sarnold]

Hello there.

I am using a 02/15/00 CVS build on Debian GNU/Linux, and the menu entry View |
Page Source reliably causes mozilla to crash. I do not think it is specific to
any web sites; it has crashed for me on bugzilla.mozilla.org, www.dmoz.org, and
other sites.

I think it has something to do with the GFX Scroll bars -- when they are turned
off, I can view source (I just did on dmoz.org) -- but when I turned them back
on, and tried viewing source (again on dmoz.org, same browser session) *poof*
segfault.

Here is what the console had printed -- I don't know reliably how much is
directly due to the View Source command.

*** elementObject.elType = Radio
*** elementObject.elType = Radio
WEBSHELL- = 5
WEBSHELL- = 4
nsWebShellWindow::GOTFOCUS
Got focus.
BrowserViewSource();
 we don't handle eBorderStyle_close yet... please fix me
WEBSHELL+ = 5
assuming d&d is off for Navigator
WEBSHELL+ = 6
WEBSHELL+ = 7
Setting content window
browser.startup.page = 1
startpage = http://www.mozilla.org/
Loading page specified via openDialog
Check if a view source window
 A view source window
got a request
WEBSHELL- = 6
Segmentation fault


If I can help further, please let me know!

Thanks :)

sairuh, can you take a look at this?

how odd. i cannot reproduce this using the 2000021808 mozilla bits on linux (i'm
running Redhat 6 w/kernel 2.2.12-20).

could you try using a more recent build? am gonna mark this as wfm --but if it
still occurs, do reopen.

verif.

I don't know what to think any more. The space bar now cuases my screen to page
down, so I cannot see what I am entering into this form -- and I thought hyatt
fixed that weeks ago! I download and rebuild my mozilla every day, and each time
I do the debian/rules clean and rm -rf debian/tmp in the souyrce dir -- since I
use the debian mozilla scripts.

But, I made this build from the february 27th CVS, and still have this problem.
When gfx scrollbars are on, view source causes segfault. When gfx scroll bars
are off, view source does not give me a segfault.

I wish there was a file containing the date/time tamp of the last checkin to the
CVS tree somewhere -- so I could be certain of the age of my code.

I am running this on debian/linux, kernel 2.0.36, glibc 2.1.3, xf86 3.3.5.

Thanks. :)

I can't reproduce this using the 32006 build on stock RH6.1 (kernel 2.2.12-20, 
glibc 2.1.2-11, XFree86-3.3.5-3).  reassigning to pavlov for triage. Pav, could 
this be specific to Debian, or the particular versions of the kernel, glibc and 
x?

Confirming...

See also bug 21909.

How embarrassing. I opened *BOTH* bug reports.

Check to ensure the gfx scrollbars are turned on when trying to reproduce.

I reproduced with a march 25 build.
