Bug Description

Binary package hint: kompozer

After using a fresh install of kompozer for a few minutes, it simply closes with no crash information. The window vanishes and the process goes missing.

Repro:

1) Load kompozer.
2) Carry out the tutorial in the 'new to kompozer?' section of the help pages.
3) Before finishing the tutorial, Kompozer will crash.

Same problem, unusable.

KompoZer also crashes when hovering the mouse over a menu item with its own submenu (items with an arrow).

On the homepage:

"Linux users: KompoZer 0.7.10 is not compatible with GTK 2.14 and higher, hence the crashes. Please have a look at KompoZer 0.8 alpha."

"To “install” KompoZer 0.8 on Windows or GNU/Linux: just unzip the archive somewhere and make a shortcut from the kompozer executable (kompozer.exe on Windows, kompozer on Linux) to your desktop. I'm sorry I can't provide packages for all Linux distros…
Ubuntu users can use Derevko's PPA repositories:

Hardy:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/giuseppe-iuculano/ppa/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/giuseppe-iuculano/ppa/ubuntu hardy main

Intrepid:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/giuseppe-iuculano/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

Jaunty:

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/giuseppe-iuculano/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

Debian users will find KompoZer 0.8a4 in the Squeeze and Sid repositories. These packages should also work on Ubuntu if you don't forget to download the "kompozer-data" package. ;-)"
