epiphany browser does not go to specified web page

[anna_vt]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Today Epiphany browser will not go to webpages that I type in the address box. If I search for the webpages on the google homepage I can link to them and see them no problem. I am not having the same problem with firefox.
It is also periodically closing suddenly.

could you tell us a few easy steps in order to reproduce that problem?

[anna_vt (iseeglass)]

Run Epiphany
type web address in address bar, eg www.launchpad.net
press return (or click the go button)
nothing happens (webpage opens fine in firefox)

I just tried typing launchpad in the google search page (which is the
homepage) to see if I could open it that way, but Epiphay crashed when I
clicked on the link in the search results. When restarting I get the
crash recovery dialogue. Repeated and crashed again.

that works fine here not confirming. please report the other issue (the crash) with apport so we can have an automated backtrace.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

did you configure a proxy by some way?

[anna_vt (iseeglass)]

As far as I'm aware I haven't (is it something I could have done by accident? - if so how can I check?). I don't need to use a proxy to connect to the internet (using Firefox or Konqorer).

I am still having the original problem.

[anna_vt (iseeglass)]

Pedro, I have reported the other bug in 321582.

[anna_vt (iseeglass)]

This is the output when using the gdb (the point where it starts to crash is "Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.", but when running with dbg it doesn't close, but just hangs)

Same situation here,
Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 "uname -a" says Linux ***** 2.6.27-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Jul 7 19:39:09 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux.

I put an address in the bar and nothing happens, i search in google, and when i click the link the program closes. The console throws:

** (gnome-www-browser:1026): WARNING **: Failed to instantiate LoginManager

** (gnome-www-browser:1026): WARNING **: EphyBrowser initialization failed for 0x980a8b8

Segmentation fault

It only occurs in epiphany-gecko, not wetbkit
