From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.0 i586; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010105 BuildID: 2001010517 When using focus-follows-mouse, the browser completely crashes when the mouse pointer enters any browser window while some text is selected for copy-and-paste. It doesn't happen when using click-to-focus (as is standard on most systems). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open Mozilla and an xterm. Set your focus policy to focus follows mouse in your window-manager (only tested with KDE2). Now select some text in the xterm with your left mouse button. Then mouse the pointer in the browser window. Actual Results: Browser crashes the instant the pointer enters the window. Expected Results: No crash. It also seems to happen with selected text inside the browser window, eg. when copying the URL in the address bar to an external app.
Not able to reproduce the crash. 2001-011021, KDE2, Qt 2.2.1, RH6.2+all upgrades.
Another test with crash: KDE2 clipboard tool actions enabled. Enter URL in a xterm. Double click on the URL. Mozilla will crash: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x40283b94 in _IO_fputs (str=0x8644c10 "clearing PRIMARY clipboard\n", fp=0x40323aa0) at iofputs.c:39 39 iofputs.c: No such file or directory. When the KDE2 clipboard tool is turned of, the crash doesn't occur. I haven't upgraded to KDE 2.0.1 yet.
That might just explain it. I use KDE 2.0.1 here. With "Clipper clipboar tool" on panel, set to "Actons enabled", and "Focus follows mouse" I am unable to reproduce the crash following described procedues. It would seem this problem has been fixed in KDE 2.0.1

there was a bug in kde's clipboard tools a while ago that caused mozilla to choke. maybe this is it. if so, we should release note it.
The bug seems gone to me in Mozilla 0.8. I am currently unable to crash the browser using the method I've described earlier.
works ok here
