2013-05-20 13:44:04 Robert Knight description QtWebKit 2.3.0 as shipped in Ubuntu 13.04 is affected by the bug described at https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108991 which can causes JS crashes on certain pages on 32bit systems. I was not able to reproduce the problem using gap.com as described on that bug report but I can reproduce using Mendeley Desktop. Applying the patch at https://bug-108991-attachments.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=186726 to the source package for libqtwebkit4 fixes the problem. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Mendeley Desktop 1.8.4 from http://download.mendeley.com/apt/pool/main/m/mendeleydesktop/mendeleydesktop_1.8.4-stable_i386.deb on Ubuntu 13.04 (32bit) 2. Start the app with 'mendeleydesktop --setting General_FirstRun:false' to skip the login screen (if you have a Mendeley account, you can use that instead) 3. Go to View -> Library As Citations (this invokes a JS program to render citations) Stacktrace (using a build of QWK with debug symbols included for JavaScriptCode): https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5585274 QtWebKit 2.3.0 as shipped in Ubuntu 13.04 is affected by the bug described at https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108991 which can causes JS crashes on certain pages on 32bit systems.

Go to View -> Library As Citations (this invokes a JS program to render citations) Stacktrace (using a build of QWK with debug symbols included for JavaScriptCode): https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5585274 Regression Potential: QtWebKit is used as the engine by the arora browser and other apps. If there is an error in the patch it would probably manifest in a similar way to the original issue (browser crash executing JS). Suggested testing approach is visit gap.com, datejs.com and a few JS-heavy web apps with the fixed package.
