Bug 496540

After the latest xulrunner update, another problem with Epiphany (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496549) went away, but this one persists. I tried making spell-check on in Epiphany, and so I have to report to this bug from Firefox.

Till now spellcheck is not available on Epiphany, trying to make it available makes it hang till reboot (or maybe relogin, I am not sure).

One tab in Epiphany was open with the gmail account, and on two other
tabs google analytics, the graphics and all there working with
flash-plugin. And when I crossed out one of the tabs, the whole
Epiphany window together with all the tabs vanished. This has happened
earlier too, quite a few times, making one tab off makes the whole
thing vanish. Though I cannot remember exactly what sites were open.

This is reproducible, because in two other cases it happened too, when google analytics pages are opened. 

And the spellcheck enabling problem is till there, trying to do it makes Epiphany hang till I reboot or restart X or relogin. Trying to enable default spellcheck is giving this message:

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.  Script: chrome://global/content/config.js:69. 

And it is giving me two options: 'Continue' and 'Stop the Script'. But whatever action I choose this is making Epiphany hang.

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please also install epiphany-debuginfo (debuginfo-install is from
yum-utils package).

	debuginfo-install epiphany

Then run epiphany inside of gdb (gdb epiphany). Then use command run and do whatever you did to make epiphany crash. When it happens, you should go back to the gdb and run

	(gdb) thread apply all backtrace

This produces usually many screens of the text. Copy all of them into a text editor and attach the file to the bug as an uncompressed attachment.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

I am sorry, maybe I am missing something. There is no package called 'epiphany-debuginfo'. Here I am pasting the output of 'yum search epiphany':

<<beagle-epiphany.i586 : Beagle backend for Epiphany
epiphany.i586 : Web browser for GNOME
epiphany-devel.i586 : Support for developing extensions for the epiphany web
                    : browser
epiphany-extensions.i586 : Extensions for Epiphany, the GNOME web browser
gget-epiphany-extension.i586 : GGet extensions for epiphany
gwget-epiphany-extension.i586 : Gwget2 extensions for epiphany
swfdec-mozilla.i586 : Mozilla/Gecko player Flash plugin using swfdec>>

Though the command 'debuginfo-install epiphany' did work, it went into a 153 MB download. 

I will report what happens when this is over.

Here is the output, I am attaching it as an uncompressed text document. I did as you said.

gdb backtrace of all threads while running epiphany

gdb backtrace of all threads while running epiphany.

What I did was to open 'about:config' in a tab, and filter 'layout' and then went to the line:

layout.spellcheckDefault;0

Selected it, right-clicked and clicked 'Modify' and this created a freeze. I wanted to select click 'Modify' once again, but this time 'Modify' was not getting selected. But, unlike the other times when I ran without gdb, the 'JS not responding' screen did not come up.

Yes, you are, I haven't asked you to install epiphany-debuginfo with plain yum because I know that most likely you don't have rawhide-debuginfo switched on, and because installing all dependent -debuginfo packages is just too hard. debuginfo-install (which is what I asked you to use) both switches on -debuginfo repository and installs all required lower level packages all the way down to glibc-debuginfo. The result is that the backtrace in comment 7 is useless, because you haven't got xulrunner-debuginfo installed, and it seems there was something interesting going on there. Also, please, paste also the last lines *before* you run the backtrace command in gdb, it says where exactly epiphany crashed.

OK, now I am doing 'debuginfo-install xulrunner'. It is 87 MB. When it is complete I will report you back.

epiphany-xulrunner gdb output

epiphany-xulrunner-gdb-backtrace-all

After 'debuginfo-install xulrunner' I did as you said. This time I gave the entire gdb output. Only one thing, I don't know if it is important, but mentioning it to be on the safeside, after the freeze in epiphany (this time the js popup window came up), the command prompt did not return in gdb, even when I crossed out the epiphany window, I had to issue 'Ctrl-c' on the gdb prompt. I am attaching the file epiphany-xulrunner-gdb-backtrace.

Always look on the bright side of life ... kernel-debuginfo is 288MB and openoffice.org-debuginfo 557MB. It could be much worse ;-).

Thanks for the backtrace, looks interesting. Passing to developers.

Yeah, try to convince that to my niece who was watching youtube and all on a Sunday afternoon ... :(

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
