This specifically occurs when I attempt to cut n' paste a url from the URL: bar into the Body: field on my Yahoo! mail account. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ctl+C a URL from the url bar in Galeon 2. Switch to a tab with a form on it. 3. Ctl+V the url into a form element. Actual Results: Galeon (the GUI portion) crashed. A background (zombie) process appears to be left behind every once in a while (non-regular occurrence). Expected Results: The bloody URL should have been pasted into my form element. Additional info:
i could reproduce your bug easily on my PIII laptop even after all the recent up2dates installed upon skipjack beta-2.
I can't reproduce this. It's working just fine here. Is there a site that is publically accessable that I can reproduce this?
I could give you a login to my home box. It's on a Comcast cable modem. You could try running Galeon remotely. I just tried it and achieved the same results as when I run it locally.
Another note: The easiest way I've found to do this is by attempting to paste a URL from another tab into the body of a message on my Yahoo! mail account. Perhaps that will help in diagnosing the issue.
Another update: Running it as root actually gives an error message on the terminal (as opposed to running it as a user, which gives no error message). Namely: "Gdk-ERROR **: file gdkselection.c: line 246 (gdk_string_to_compound_text): assertion failed: (property.encoding == gdk_atom_intern ("COMPOUND_TEXT", FALSE) && property.format == 8) aborting... Aborted
