[Bug 564433] New: metacity crashes when searching for non-existant text in Google Chrome
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=564433 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=564433#c0 Summary: metacity crashes when searching for non-existant text in Google Chrome Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jpryor@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091103 SUSE/3.5.5-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.5 After installing Google Chrome beta (version: 4.0.249.30), if I search for text within Chrome that does not exist in the document, metacity crashes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Google Chrome: http://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?hl=en&brand=CHMA&utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-bk&utm_medium=ha 2. Start Chrome: /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome 3. In the initial "start" page, press Ctrl+F (find) and type "asdf" (no quotes) or some other text which doesn't exist in the page. Actual Results: Lots of window flicker, numerous running apps are minimized as metacity crashes and is automatically restarted. I know it's restarted as the pid from 'ps aux' is different. Before the search: jon 15436 1.1 0.4 346764 15240 ? Sl 10:15 0:00 /usr/bin/metacity After the search: jon 15640 0.3 0.5 347040 15616 ? Sl 10:23 0:00 /usr/bin/metacity Note that the pid is different. Expected Results: Obviously, metacity shouldn't crash, there shouldn't be tons of window flicker, and metacity's pid should remain the same. This was originally filed against Chrome, at: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=29723 I didn't realize until recently that the actual issue was in metacity (though Chrome makes the repro very easy). Based on the comments there, it also appears to be hardware-related, as it only happens to me, but not for others running the nVidia proprietary or Intel drivers. I'm running this on a Lenovo T60p laptop, 2.33GHz Core2 Duo, 64-bit. Video driver (from /sbin/lspci): 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5250] I'm running the openSUSE-provided (FOSS) ATI drivers, NOT the binary proprietary drivers. (Severity note: it's arguably Critical, as metacity is crashing, but since it auto-restarts I don't think it's that Critical. It is REALLY annoying, though.) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
