Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 71716
konqueror crashed when accessing a directory where a "dead.letter" file is located.
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:45:36 EDT
Description of Problem: It looks like I can reproduce the bug only with the particular "dead.letter" file I have. I have tried to reproduce the problem with an empty "dead.letter" file, but then it worked just fine. If I move the bad "dead.letter" file in another directory, then konqueror crashes only if I try to access that directory. When it crashes, I do not receive an error signal. The scroll bar (on the right-hand side) starts flashing very fast and konqueror does not respond to my mouse commands anymore. I have to kill the konqueror window with "xkill". I will attach my "dead.letter" file. Hopefully, it is reproducable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -qif /usr/bin/konqueror Name : kdebase Relocations: /usr Version : 2.2.2 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 1 Build Date: Wed 14 Nov 2001 09:03:34 AM PST Install date: Thu 13 Jun 2002 01:43:26 PM PDT Build Host: stripples.devel.redhat.com Group : User Interface/Desktops Source RPM: kdebase-2.2.2-1.src.rpm Size : 35993236 License: GPL How Reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put the "dead.letter" file in your home directory. 2. Load your home directory with konqueror by clicking on the home icon or by typing the command "konqueror ~". 3. Try to see if the konqueror windows responds to your mouse commands. (This should fail.) Actual Results: The scroll bar flashes very quickly and continuously. I cannot use this konqueror window for file management. I must kill it with "xkill". Expected Results: Konqueror should allow me to submit mouse commands. Additional Information:
Created attachment 71285 [details] This is the "dead.letter" file that causes konqueror to crash.
Tested by morte in #fedora-bugweek, no longer reproduced on a current release.
