Bug Description
Users are crashing if their clipboard contains anything from a Java OpenJDK app if they try to use their bookmarks in Firefox.
This is due to a workaround that was implemented in GTK originally due to a bug in Java that was subsequently fixed. This workaround has been removed in GTK 2.19.1 which is now in Lucid.
The attached debdiff contains the simple removal of the workaround from the GTK upstream bug commit.
TEST CASE:
- install openjdk-6-jdk
- verify it is selected with 'java -version'
- install netbeans
- start firefox
- start netbeans
- in netbeans: using any input field or editor window (create any new project and any new file in it) copy with Ctrl-C any text to clipboard
- switch to Firefox, click on any bookmark in bookmark tab tree (Left Bookmarks Sidebar)
- Firefox crashes
In fact, instead of netbeans any java swing application can be used.
-------
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
When I right click on a bookmark in the bar above the tabs, or in the Bookmarks menu, firefox crashes sporadically.
