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.
