Problem when information tab is open and track changes

[swiftscythe]

I'm on ubuntu 8.10 with exaile 0.2.14.
When the information tab is open and the track changes, the tab is updated, but it's impossible to use it to read the lyrics or the wikipedia tab. In the address bar it says "about:blank" and nothing happens when changing it and hitting return.

I attach here the log I got when running exaile from the terminal.

Thanks in advance

I had the very same problem just after installing Exaile for the first time a few hour ago(first 0.2.13 from Ubuntu depositories then 0.2.14 from the Exaile depositories).

The bug affect me the first time I picked the "automatic update informations" so all I could do to get through was restarting the application (the bug is still there if you just close the information tab and restart it).
After restarting the bug occured again so I restarted once again Exaile and desactivated the automatic update option.
Now I've just test again the bug and it has dissapeard without making anything.

I have the same problem and it starts to make me crazy. When I do try to check info about song or lyrics AFTER changing currently playing song, neither of those options work ! Instead of this, in adres field can be seen only "about:blank" which does nothing. Can you do anything with this in next release of update, please ?

Best regards & keep great work,
Greetings, Maciek.

i confirm this.
that's annoying. you could only have information like artist or album or lyrics tabs only once.
once the track has changed you got about:blank for those tab in information tab.
and no data in it
even if "update tab when track changes" is checked, nothing happen
even if you close and reopen information tab you still got nothing for artist album or lyrics

please this bug is filled since november 2008 ! is exaile maintained anymore ?

in fact it's the update info that cause that bug. because unchecinkg the button with restarting exaile make it work

running archlinux and exaile 0.2.14

Please! Help! I have the same trouble! When I play the first not problem.
But with the next song Exaile is unable to update the information tabs. Maybe there is a problem
to sync with firefox in order to update the info!

Please fix the problem!!!
