Description Justin Haygood 2016-01-08 03:05:29 UTC 
Description of problem:

Going to http://storycrash.com/this-man-came-home-from-africa-feeling-very-sick-what-his-doctor-does-is-pure-gold/ using GNOME Web (via a link from Facebook) causes the entire laptop to lock up. The only way to do anything is to attempt (Ctrl-Alt-F1) or a hard reboot.

Computer is a Dell Precision M3800 with NVIDIA Quadro NVS K1100 graphics (Optimus with some Intel GPU -- not sure if actually working -- I didn't confgure anything so its whatever the default config is for it), Core i7 4712HQ processor, 16 GB of RAM. Using default drivers for everything.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

GNOME Web 3.18 (Webkit 2.10.4)

How reproducible:

Almost every time going to that page

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Facebook
2. Find link to that webpage
3. Navigate to it

Actual results:

Computer locks up

Expected results:

Computer doesn't lock up

*Probably* WebKit #126122, fixed by http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/196803

Please reopen this bug if you still experience the issue once the 2.10.8 update is released (which will probably occur within a week or two).
