312119 - Crash [@ QDPlatformGlobalToLocal()] (Flash plug-in, Mac)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 311399

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Mark Mentovai]

This is showing up at the top of the Mac 1.5b2 Talkback list.  The Flash plugin
is on the stack right before QDPlatformGlobalToLocal().

It's also near the top of the 1.5b1 list (the two above it have been fixed:)

These crashes don't show up in alpha 2 or earlier.

We (Flash Player team) will investigate.

This is a crash in the QuickDraw code. I believe the Flash Player is calling
GetMouse(), and QuickDraw is doing a global to local conversion of the
coordinates. Flash Player definitely might be doing something bad.

From the Talkback logs, this appears to be 10.4.2 only.

If you have a reproducible case of this please let me know. Thanks so much.

The bug only seemed like it only affected 10.4.2 because that was one of the few
releases for which I had uploaded the QD library to the talkback server.  We
also had the library from a virgin 10.3.9 installation, but not the updated
10.3.9 library that came with security update 2005-008.  I uploaded that library
on Tuesday evening.  Some of the crashes in QD.150.9.0 before then are
QDPlatformGlobalToLocal, and some are bug 311399 - you can tell which based on
the stacks.  The same goes for crashes in QD.96.3.0: I only uploaded the library
from 10.2.8, but there's apparently a significant installed base of some earlier
release out there.

I crash using FF 1.5 beta 2 and Camino 1.0a1 using Flash 8.0r22 on MacOSX 10.4.2
(Mac Mini), resolution 1024x768 millions of colors
Go to http://www.gamekult.com/advert01.html?goto=%2F&nopub=1
this is where I reliably crash: TB10397408Q TB10432999E TB10858210X
Not sure if it helps, my about:plugins lists both Flash 8.0r22 and 7.0r24...
And I've modified Flash settings to disallow third-party cookies:

I crashed this pretty easily upon upgrading to Flash Player 8.0r22, but I can't
reproduce on demand.

This looks like the same problem as bug 311399.

Comment 6

[Michelle Sintov]

I am so far unable to repro the crash.

If the fix for bug 311399 doesn't resolve this issue, please let me know.

Comment 7

[Mark Mentovai]

This should be fixed on the trunk now, after the latest checkin from bug 311399.

Comment 8

[Mark Mentovai]

These crashes have disappeared after the good patch in bug 311399 landed.
