[GTK] Segmentation fault when click and drag mulitple time in a short time delay

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Adrien SCH.]

Hello,

With a empty html page, it's possible to crash the webkit2gtk engine by clicking and drag multiple in a very short timespan. 

Indeed, the WebKitProcess will dead, and the current page will be a blank page. After this behavior, some JS code will not work correctly (a new process webKitProcess is started after few stimulis). 

I will have a look closer to this bug. 

Platform : Arch linux

Call stack :

You mean selecting text? or dragging something? You say empty page, so nothing is actually dragged I guess

[Adrien SCH.]

It isn't mandatory. I saw it by rapidly dragging text. 

Meaning by empty page : without any JS.

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

what WebKitGTK+ version?

[Adrien SCH.]

WebkitGtk version : 2.6.5

[Michael Catanzaro]

We'd need a better backtrace to be able to investigate this.
