"about gwibber" close button doesn't work after refreshing feeds

[Simon Butcher]

Version: gwibber 2.31.94 on ubuntu 10.04.1
Reproducible : yes, every time.
Procedure:
click help->about
keep this window open
click gwibber->refresh
(window usually goes grey and unresponsive for a short while)
click close on the "about gwibber" window - window does not close.
credits and license buttons still work.

workaround: click the X button in the top corner to close

@Vadim do you have any thoughts on this ?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

it seems we already have bug reports about this issue.

[Vadim Rutkovsky (roignac)]

I'm not sure if this is a duplicate of a crash.
@Simon: please, confirm that the same crash as in bug #607405.

[Simon Butcher (sbutcher)]

The behaviour is not exactly the same since as #607405 i don't get a crash, gwibber continues to work, and apport does not run.
However i see the following in the terminal when running gwibber from command line:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gwibber/client.py", line 428, in <lambda>
    about_dialog.connect("response", lambda *a: about_dialog.hide())
NameError: free variable 'about_dialog' referenced before assignment in enclosing scope

[Vadim Rutkovsky (roignac)]

Yes, it's a duplicate - as stated in bug #607405, Gwibber continued working.
However it is strange, that apport didn't cath that crash - this might be a regression in 2.31.94.
@Omer: Did you got a apport notification on crash on the latest version of Gwibber?
