Description Adrian Offerman 2011-01-22 20:53:27 UTC
Description of problem:

The menu on the left is not working at all. I can switch to "Search" at the bottom using the top menu (which is working without any problem). But I cannot use the left menu to select another view.

Seems to be a problem in a JQuery call from the user interface. Here is the message I get:
** Message: console message: file:///usr/share/gwibber/ui/templates/jquery.js @54: TypeError: Result of expression 'a.type' [undefined] is not an object

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

version 2.33.0.

How reproducible:

Problem is permanent and the same for every menu item I click.

This starts working again if you revert to webkitgtk-1.2.5-1.  Since this bug does not appear on Fedora 14, I imagine that it is also fixed in the newer versions of webkitgtk found there.

Meanwhile, the attached patch against http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.1.js seems to work around the problem.  N.B., this is a hack!  I have made no attempt to understand what is going on.

Tried both the revert and the patch (individually). Both working here. Tnx!
