Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 433644

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Pietro Romani]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008042800 Camino/2.0a1pre (like Firefox/3.0pre)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008042800 Camino/2.0a1pre (like Firefox/3.0pre)

I can't tell if this is still a problem with flash. I had problems with that with older camino version and it got better (still i get the spinning beachball when login out of gmail due to pages with flash). Now with the new version, camino just closes unexpectedly all the time. sometimes after a long while, some others just a minute after i open the browser. Is this still a problem with flash or is it something else?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open camino and enter gayromeo site
2.Open a profile or two
3.
Actual Results:  
Camino crashes. sometimes immediately, some others after a while.
I reopen camino and reproduce same steps. Same result. But somehow it seems random.

Expected Results:  
Camino not crashing and browsing normally.

2008042800 is almost a week old at this point; can you reproduce these crashes with the current nightly build? In general, if you are filing bugs against nightly builds please try to keep them no more than a few days old.

I've checked for camino updates and it tells me that i have the latest version.

The auto-update mechanism is to upgrade to release versions; there's a new nightly every day.

Comment 5

[Pietro Romani]

I've downloaded the nightly build and the problem persists...

Comment 6

[Pietro Romani]

I've come to realize that the crashes occur when i have multiple browser windows open and i close one of them. I'm starting to suspect that it's a problem with the gayromeo site. But it never happened before i've updated camino. Still i'm getting the nightlies every day, just in case.

Steven, if the event is a left-click that results in the window being closed, are you sure that calling [self firstResponder] after the event is forwarded is actually safe?

I've never had any reason to think it wasn't.

We need more information (we need to know exactly where the crashes
happen).  But if (as I suspect) they're happening at the call to
super ([self nsCocoaWindow_NSWindow_sendEvent:anEvent];), the cause is
probably elsewhere.

(Later I'll try to reproduce these crashes myself.  Has anyone yet
seen them besides Pietro?)

It's possible that these crashes are caused by bug 432556.

It's possible that this is a dupe of bug 433644, which is more easily reproducible.

Pietro, here's a build with the patch from bug 433644; if you're still seeing this crash often, can you try running with this build for a while and see if the crashing persists?

Thanks Smokey Ardisson!

I've been using the build you've recommended and it seems to be working fine.
So far no more crashes on camino.
Thank you all that helped out along this.
It's a beautiful community out there.

Take care
