I have been able to reproduce it a few times by viewing this URL in chrome :

http://fora.tv/2008/04/02/Rupert_Murdoch_News_for_the_21st_Century#Rupert_Murdoch_Defends_FOX_News

[Cameron Braid (cameron-braid)]

please note that the crash happens when not using flash, i.e. when browsing a non flash site in chrome, or when editing files in eclipse

[Bryce Harrington (bryce)]

We'll need a full backtrace on this crash - see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for guidance.

[Cameron Braid (cameron-braid)]

i'll try and get a backtrace done asap

[Cameron Braid (cameron-braid)]

I hope this covers it.. let me know if anything else is needed.

Cheers

Cameron

With precise being released next week, is this going to be fixed before then ?

Its a show stopper for me, since the crash happens 4 or 5 times a day

[Cameron Braid (cameron-braid)]

I have updated to the latest release version and the issue still exists.

[Cameron Braid (cameron-braid)]

This issue is still happening, is someone going to address it ?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Marius B. Kotsbak (mariusko)]

Are anyone able to test this in the latest Ubuntu 12.10 daily iso images and report if the bug is still reproducable there?
