Panel crash when visiting http://blog.oup.com/2009/03/science-fiction/ in firefox

[Daniel James]

Intrepid, up to date firefox and gnome-panel. I'm using compiz.

When visiting http://blog.oup.com/2009/03/science-fiction/ in firefox my gnome-panel crashes. It does not crash until I switch to the tab which makes me think that it may be related to the page title being displayed on the window list.

I started gnome-panel from gnome-terminal to see what sort of crash it is, I get this:

daniel@silver:~$ gnome-panel

(gnome-panel:6969): Gdk-WARNING **: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.14.4/gdk/x11/gdkdrawable-x11.c:878 drawable is not a pixmap or window
Segmentation fault

Note that the Gdk warning was already displayed before the page was viewed and the panel crashed.

I can confirm the horrible behaviour using Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty amd64 it-IT l10n.

[Damiano Dallatana (damidalla)]

The problem is replicable using Firefox 3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu2, Firefox Shiretoko 3.5~b4~hg20090330r24021+nobinonly-0ubuntu1, Epiphany 2.26.0-0ubuntu3.
There is no problem instead using Konqueror 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu3 nor using Opera 9.64.2480.gcc4.qt3.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find.

why people start sending lot of duplicates about that particular page today? is that a bug of the day thing? ;-)

slashdot ;)

Is the bug in pango a private one or it's a problem with my own permissions to view reported bugs?

[Daniel James (daniel-netbreeze)]

I would really like to follow the bug that this one is a duplicate of too. Is it possible for those of us with interest to be given permission?
