284668 - Crash if page loads, probably caused by the composite setting in XORG

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Vincent]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050303 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050303 Firefox/1.0.1

The browser suddenly quits when this or some other pages are loading. Recently I
changed my XORG to use the composite setting. Other people have reported the
same behaviour as I noticed in the Gentoo forums.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Surf to cnn.com
2. Observe the immediate quit
3.

Actual Results:  
A complete shutdown of the program. No error messages.

Expected Results:  
Display the page. :)

Seems to occur when composite in xorg and java / javascript in firefox are
enabled. Disabling java / javascript helps, disabling composite also hepls.
Output  if starting ff in a bash:

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
(Details: serial 117 error_code 8 request_code 147 minor_code 3)
(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.)

for me it seems to be a problem with the engine, epiphany crashes with the same
error.

reporter: i don't suppose you could actually follow the directions from that
output? also, what gtk theme are you using?

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.
