Epiphany-browser weird image/page display and crashes on click

[Frederic Muller]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Using epiphany-browser (webkit) 2.28.0-4ubuntu1 on Ubuntu Karmic beta quite regularly I have had regular crashes on everything. It seems pages with photos tend to crash a lot more and the display gets corrupted as well. Then clicking on those images (URL link) systematically crashes the browser.

I can reproduce it on photo.net by trying to click on the photo of the week. I get this in terminal:

console message: @1: Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL http://photo.net/ from frame with URL http://tag.admeld.com/ad/iframe/115/photo/728x90/ros?01AD=2-2-5CD13074DB81BC214B187F5FF6CE4F5C1D879B4865340C2BD3167904851C7841-E95C45FA2C3627AB9833835BB7B4DF1B0F79C830B865EFF2A2B790B407B51A25&01RI=76BA3249BF3230E&01NA=&t=1255483797005&url=http%3A//photo.net/. Domains, protocols and ports must match.

The program 'epiphany-browser' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 2597 error_code 9 request_code 55 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Let me know if I need to try anything else.

What else should I do now. The crashes are systematic and the display is also all weird with patches of the screen being moved on the right.

[Frederic Muller (fred-beijinglug)]

As you can see on deviantart, there is both the same display issue (highlighted in red) and then the crashes.

[Frederic Muller (fred-beijinglug)]

went through a few cycles of updates and the problem doesn't seem to happen anymore.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Closing the bug since that works now

Please, reopen.

I have the same bug since karmic. And now in lucid again. I cannot load 3 pages without epiphany crashing.

I think it is fixed. I removed an old flash installation:

rm ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
