Summary: Wired.com "crashes" WebKit - Force Quit necessary
Product: WebKit Reporter: allspamgoeshere
Component: New BugsAssignee: Michael Saboff <msaboff>
Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE    
Severity: Normal CC: ap, msaboff
Priority: P2    
Version: 528+ (Nightly build)   
Hardware: Mac (Intel)   
OS: OS X 10.6   
URL: http://www.wired.com

Description allspamgoeshere 2010-09-22 05:12:35 PDT
Going to http://www.wired.com in latest nightly build of WebKit (5.0.2 (6533.18.5, r67838)) causes WebKit to stop responding.  Cannot click on another tab and must force quit (spinning beachball).  Site works in Firefox 3.6.9 and Safari 5.0.2 shipping build.   This continued to happen even after disabling extensions, disabling the pop-up blocker and clearing the cache.

Steps to reproduce: Browse to http://www.wired.com.  Browser will crash.

Expected results: wired.com would display and browser would continue to function.

Could you please attach a process sample? To generate one, launch Activity Monitor.app from Applications/Utilities, double click on red hanging process, and click "Sample" button at bottom right.

Believe this is a duplicate of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46189 which was fixed in http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/68100.

The current top of trunk build works fine with wired.com.
