72800 - Crash when pasting into HTML textbox from xterm

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58878

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P1)

Description

[Dagfinn I. Mannsåker]

When I paste text into HTML textfields or texboxes, mozilla segfaults wit the
following output.

         XmbTextListToTextProperty failed.  returned -2
/home/ilmari/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh: line 72: 15040 Segmentation fault     
$prog ${1+"$@"}

I'm running mozilla remotely, with XFree86 4.0.2 on the client side and a 3.3.5
server. I've tried pasting from xterms running on both the server and the same
box as mozilla.

Sometimes the paste succeeds (this has only happened from the xterm running on
the same box as mozilla), but mozilla outputs the following on the console:

         XmbTextListToTextProperty failed.  returned -2
          text is "°8ó"

The text pasted was "description".

On the server LC_CTYPE is set to "no_NO", while on the mozilla box it's
"no_NO.ISO-8851-1". all other locale-related environment variables are unset.

Pasting text from mozilla itself or PowerShell (a multi-tabbed GTK terminal
emulator) works just fine. Pasting into the URL bar works from the xterms as well.

Reporter what build are you using?

This is still occuring with build 2001032521.
Mozilla also crashes when running everything locally (on Debian GNU/Linux unstable).
The crash only occurs when pasting into single-line textboxes, not textfields.

This is a dup of an old bug on Pavlov's list.
