This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #422726. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

Can you try to reproduce this issue in latest version of gwibber? Thanks!

[Sense Egbert Hofstede (sense)]

I cannot confirm this anymore with the latest version of Gwibber in Karmic.

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

This bug report is being closed due to your last comment regarding this being fixed with an update. Thanks!

Had this error in Lucid Alpha 3. Hopefully it goes away soon. =/

[Zygmunt Krynicki (zyga)]

This issue still occurs on Version: 2.29.90.1-0ubuntu2

[Guillaume Pascal (guigui14100-deactivatedaccount)]

Yes, same problem in Lucid Alpha 3
