[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the crash is similar to bug #351516 and in the new code to determine the corner to use

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

6 bugs in a day about this crash in the new code to detect the corner to use setting higher settings there

[Dennis S. (dennix-ger)]

hey,

I have (maybe) an important information:
This bug appears, when I have running VLC Media Player.

[marcin.kondera (marcin-kondera)]

I am running the Listen all the day. There is also Firefox, Netbeans, Pidgin and Skype as "user apps". But only Pidgin is using notifiy. When i turned them off, crashes stoped. This is not "user apps" problem.

[VladNistor (vladnistor)]

The bug occurs every once in a while during a day. Always before crashing it uses a lot of cpu %, about 40%. When I don't catch it doing such it crashes, if I do catch it I usually kill it. I have Firefox, Pidgin & Nautilus running all the time. I frequently use VLC as DenniX mentioned above, but I have not seen a link between running it and the crashes. I'll keep an eye out for that.

[Ka-Hing Cheung (kahing)]

for me it was crashing several times while I have my video cam preview in gstreamer-properties open. Never before, and not yet after I closed it.

[David Barth (dbarth)]

Ok, i can reproduce the bug with vlc. Should have a fix soon.

[bobyzsz (bobyzsz)]

i was also running vlc
