Bug 15966 – Crash in SVGRootInlineBox::walkTextChunks() on mouse hover

• Component: SVG
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Alp Toker]

The crash happens at:

http://www.croczilla.com/svg/samples/paths1/paths1.xml

when the mouse is moved over SVG text.

The problem line is in SVGRootInlineBox.cpp:
  Vector<SVGInlineBoxCharacterRange>::iterator boxIt = curChunk.boxes.begin();



Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Seems this issue may also affect Mac. Needs more investigation, particularly to be sure it's not a security issue as well as a crasher.

[Nikolas Zimmermann]

Problem confirmed on Tiger with trunk. Investigating soon.
