           Summary: Cairo crash in webkitgtk GtkLauncher in launchpad.net
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: sergiocmailbox-freedesktop at yahoo.com.br


As far as I can tell, for more than a year browsers based on webkitgtk's GtkLauncher (like Midori) and the launcher itself, of course, crash on launchpad.net for some users. It can happen elsewhere but that site is a safe testing ground for this, so to speak.
I used to use Debian and now I use Fedora so the bug persisted throughout several webkitgtk versions.

IIRC the webkitgtk3 version of GtkLauncher used to crash too, but I'm not sure. Now it doesn't crash.

Currently I'm using webkitgtk(3) 1.8.3 and cairo 1.10.2 but it crashed with cairo 1.12.2 too.

>From https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49719 I infer that the problem is in the application, not in cairo itself.
I posted some feedback there on the last posts but the bug is closed already.

A backtrace after the crash can be found at http://pastebin.com/nvseMqbA

Many people have been having this issue but apparently many people don't. I noticed that when the person affected reported the hardware used it was a single-core CPU (like me that have an Athlon XP), but that was just a fraction of the reports so I can't tell for sure, neither I know if this is a factor or not.
