I've encountered this while testing the installation of Fedora Rawhide 20151117 compose (Xfce Spin). I've also attached a screenshot. Component's version: yelp-3.19.1-2.fc24.x86_64 Steps to reproduce: 1. Boot the installer from Xfce's desktop 2. Click the Help button. Actual results: 1. The help function doesn't work (see the attached screenshot). 2. abrt-cli catches the issue here reported. Expected results: 1. The help function should work.
This could be a regression of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1276226
Proposed as a Blocker for 24-final by Fedora user juliuxpigface using the blocker tracking app because: This is a clear violation of the "2.2.14 Installer help" Final criteria. "Any element in the installer interface(s) which is clearly intended to display 'help' text must do so correctly when activated. " Link: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_24_Final_Release_Criteria#installer-help
Discussed at 2015-11-23 blocker review meeting: [1]. This bug was accepted as F24 Final blocker: This bug clearly violates the final criterion "Any element in the installer interface(s) which is clearly intended to display 'help' text must do so correctly when activated."

This crash occurs on first log in after install, too - I think when the little panel of introductory guidance videos and stuff should appear (I guess it's Yelp-driven).

Pushed a likely fix for this here: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/commit/?id=b3b048906c7378f104b8be4f4889a8e15025fcd1
Created attachment 1127616 [details] Screenshot of Help in a (default) GNOME on Wayland session This still happens for current Fedora development in a GNOME on Xorg session (launch "Files" and then "Help" from the context menu) whereas no crash occurs in a (default) GNOME on Wayland session. In the latter case however, the window is not rendered correctly, see attachment, thus unusable.

Note, we already got a new bug filed too: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1306837
(In reply to Joachim Frieben from comment #23) > Created attachment 1127618 [details] > Screenshot of Help in a (default) GNOME on Wayland session This looks like probably a new issue to me worth reporting in a new bug. (Yeah, a third Yelp blocker....) (In reply to Joachim Frieben from comment #22) > This still happens for current Fedora development in a GNOME on Xorg session > (launch "Files" and then "Help" from the context menu) It's this same crash, in gtkimcontextsimple.c?
(In reply to Michael Catanzaro from comment #25) > It's this same crash, in gtkimcontextsimple.c? The "Problem Reporting" tool returned me (again) to this very bug report; therefore, I suppose it to be the same issue.
