Thank you for your report,

Is the crash always reproducible? Can you provide an step by step test case?

Please, can you indicate which gtk theme were you using when firefox crashed? was the default?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. is the default one (whitout eyecandies)

One note: I have two printers: an network ipp printer (hp deskjet 1300
series; the default) and the cups pdf printer.

Yep...

File -> Print Preview
every time.

Default theme.
One printer.

[Erica Rosalle (erosalle)]

Per information request in Bug 147097: I am using the system default GTK theme for Ubuntu: Human. I also have Compiz enabled by default.

[houstonbofh (leesharp)]

I just submitted a dupe. It was a clean install of Gutsy from the 9.24 daily. Default theme, and compiz on an nvidia 7950 card with restricted driver. It is a new machine. Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L with a 2.33 Core2duo and 2 gig of ram. All SATA system.

[Gabriel de Perthuis (g2p)]

I am using the Glossy theme (clearlooks theme engine, same as Human); I have normal desktop effects enabled, no restricted drivers.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

this is a regression not present in gtk+2.0 2.11.6-1ubuntu4 ... apparently it was introduced with first 2.11.7 upload done on sep 17.

seb, any idea?

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

sorry, of course i ment that this regressed due to gtk+ 2.12.0-0ubuntu1

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

ok, here a gtk patch to fix this.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

gtk 2.12 introduced gdk_window_is_toplevel_frozen (window) and makes use of it in gdk_window_process_all_updates; this introduces crashes when there are NULL pointers in update_windows list; in addition gdk_window_get_toplevel crashes when there is no TOPLEVEL ancestor.

Both cases appear to happen in this firefox "print preview" crash.

This patch adds some NULL checks to make gdkwindow more failsafe in these cases.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

fix provided for gtk ...

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

gtk+2.0 (2.12.0-1ubuntu3) gutsy; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/071_fix_gdk_window_null_crasher.patch:
    - patch from Alexander Sack, fix firefox crashing on print preview due
      due to gdk_window NULL values (LP: #144326)

[Fred Hermanns (fintan)]

I can confirm this issue in Kubuntu 7.10 as well.

Does the above patch apply to KDE as well? Is so how is it implemented?

[Samnsparky (samnsparky)]

The problem has been fixed (without the patch). I just updated Firefox and it seems to have gone away.

[Nanley Chery (nanoman)]

Don't have this problem anymore. Is this still a problem in the "gtk" package?

[Fred Hermanns (fintan)]

I have installed FF 2.0.0.11 with ubuntuzilla. I still have the printpreview issue Kubuntu 7.10.

Please don't use ubuntuzilla. This can cause several issues.

Hello Alexander,

I had to reinstall the full distro again. One thing I worked out was that the problem was the screensaver/power management was the thing making it crash. I turned off the screensaver part in the new install and I have had no problems.

Best wishes,
Peter
