306518 - Crash when viewing ANY local file [@ libgobject-2.0.so.0 + 0x27115]

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

[Scott Gifford]

Firefox build 20050827 crashes reliably for me when viewing a particular local
file (which I'll attach shortly).  An example TalkBack is TB8869286Y.

Comment 1

[Scott Gifford]

It turns out that trying to upload the file to this bug crashes the browser. 
Note that to see the crash, I have to save this file on my hard drive and view
it with File|Open File.

I've put a copy of the file at:

Also, 1.0.6 views the file fine.

Comment 3

[Scott Gifford]

This actually crashes when I open *ANY* local file using the file picker.  Works
fine if I type a file: URL in the URLbar instead.  It seems to crash whenever
using the file picker.

This is on Fedora Core 2, kernel 2.6.10, gnome-libs 1.4.1.2, gtk-config 1.2.10.

This is a serious dogfood bug for me, and has pushed me back to using stable
builds instead of the branch nightlies.  I can't use the File|Open dialog at
all.  If I forget and try to use it, Firefox crashes and I lose all of my open
pages.

Comment 6

[timeless]

there should be a way to disable the gtk2 filepicker (i don't remember how) if 
this is limited to the open dialog.

based on the stack, you'll probably need to get symbols for gtk2 and glib, and 
build mozilla --enable-debugger-info-modules.

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

This is around 27th on the topcrash list for b1/trunk, but none in about a week,
as far as I can tell.  Scott, can you retest on this?

This sounds a lot like the gtk2.7 filepicker bug that seems to have been fixed
on the gtk2 end.

Comment 8

[Scott Gifford]

Thanks mconnor, I downloaded a more recent nightly (20050925) and the bug seems
mostly fixed.  It still crashes sometimes when using the file picker, but
sometimes is better than all the time.  I've filed bug 310137 for the remaining
issues I'm aware of.
