I can confirm the bug, for me it first happened only a couple of days ago, after the last ugrade (see the attached file). But I'm on 14.04.

However, I guess it's not the dwb's fault, it's rather some of the webkit packages (webkitgtk, javascriptcoregtk etc.) that are causing this bug. So, probably, it should be reassigned to one (or more) of those, I just don't know which one exactly.

By the way, I'm new to this forum, isn't there a way to attach two files at the same time? I've also tried to attach log of what happens after I try to run dwb, but it won't let me do that.

And as there is no way of downgrading a package in ubuntu, I'm afraid it's that time again -- to grab source and start building :)

Here's the log. You see, there are these CRITICAL assertions and a SIGSEGV at the end. But the WARNINGs were present for quite some time for now, they were benign.

As an offtop: I only wanted to note that, yep, dwb builds good on 14.04, you just need to obtain it from http://portix.bitbucket.org/dwb/, and a couple of libraries from Ubuntu repositories, such as libsoup2.4-dev, libgtk-3-dev etc. Seems rather stable so far, well, at least it runs :)

I get segfault crashes at random. Like gsarret, I believe the crashes are related to gtk since they did not happen until I applied the security update USN-2937-1: WebKitGTK+ vulnerabilities. I added the terminal output from my last DWB session.
