Description Matt McCutchen 2010-03-05 03:28:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
When yelp is run with an "info:" URL as an argument, the window is blank instead of showing the info page.  The mouse pointer quickly alternates between busy and non-busy, and the X session eventually becomes unresponsive (I cannot switch among windows).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yelp-2.28.1-1.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yelp info:bash
  
Actual results:
The X session becomes unresponsive.

Expected results:
The info page appears.

Seems to be working correctly here with the same package on i386...
Comment 2 Matt McCutchen 2010-03-16 21:26:09 UTC 
There seems to be an incompatibility between yelp-2.28.1-1.fc12 from Fedora 12 and xulrunner 1.9.2.1 from rawhide (which I was using).  When I reverted to xulrunner 1.9.1.8 from Fedora 12, the problem went away.  The problem also does not occur with both yelp and xulrunner from rawhide.  Since the problem occurs only with an unsupported combination of packages, this bug report is invalid.
