333252 - "Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_get_origin: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed" on startup

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-5, no longer working on Mozilla)]

On startup, I see two of the following assertion:

(Gecko:30558): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_get_origin: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

and then I continue to see them during the running of the builds.  This is a regression from enabling cairo-gtk2 as the default on Linux.  I also saw these assertions in tinderbox logs.

[Not sure what the right severity for assertions is, but I'm sure Normal isn't. increasing]

The GTK gfx code handles this case, apparently:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/gfx/src/gtk/nsDeviceContextGTK.cpp#507

Maybe thebes should do the same?

Debian bug 354234 may be the same or similar:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354234

Scroll down there to my email of Tue, 09 May 2006 18:05:15 -0400 which reports errors with mozilla.org firefox 1.5.0.3 binary (not debian's) AND thunderbird's 1.5.0.2 (debian backported to sarge from backports.org).

Firefox talkback Incident ID TB18496193W.

Excerpting from my debian report:

Symptoms:
========

- firefox: url appears to load (reloading pages, actually) but Nothing
appears in tabbed windows.  Closing firefox results in:
~$
(Gecko:3622): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_peek_children: assertion
`GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

(Gecko:3622): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_get_data: assertion
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
pure virtual method called
bin/firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 424:  3622 Aborted
"$prog" ${1+"$@"}

- thunderbird: email message shows no body text.  Closing application
results in:
:~$
(Gecko:3628): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_peek_children: assertion
`GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

(Gecko:3628): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_get_data: assertion

Comment 4

[James Laver]

I've got it too

(Gecko:11011): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_get_data: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 117: 11011 Segmentation fault      "$mozbin" "$@"
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139)

This happened with a large number of open tabs or when i submitted in a javascript-opened window, but it's intermittent.

Also, the same error crops up in thunderbird, see #323200

comment 3 and comment 4 don't look at all like this bug...

Comment 6

[Scott Johnson (:jwir3)]

This doesn't seem to be happening for me any longer on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 64-bit on Nightly 2011-10-07. If you still see these assertion failures in the future, please reopen.

Firefox is closing after a while. These are the last lines from the output just before closing.

I'm running Firefox 47.0a2 on Archlinux 4.4.5-1.

It takes like 10 minutes before closing :/
