Summary [Gtk] gmail refreshes to blank screen
Justin Hibbits
Reported 2009-10-18 18:35:12 PDT
When using the gmail AJAX interface with Webkit Gtk+ 1.1.15.2, after loading the inbox, gmail refreshes to a blank screen, and the Midori console shows a series of error messages as follows: 1 @ https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&view=js&name=js&ver=lRH7ajoXwnE.en.&am=!t-TmIKZsnsr9ZfnBsTT2cqRr-El4-f_gubjDQmpWKU50: SyntaxError: Parse error 1 @ : Refused to set unsafe header "Connection" At some times I can stop it so things work correctly. Tested using Midori 0.2.0 and 0.1.9, using user-agents of Safari and Midori, Webkit Gtk+ 1.1.15.2, libsoup 2.28.0.

I have confirmed the same thing happens with the GtkLauncher of svn 49820, with latest libsoup from git.

I can confirm this on Snow Leopard even with latest nightly builds. This does not happen with Safari 4/5 though.

Which nightly builds did you see this with on Snow Leopard? I suspect that this was an unrelated problem, possibly bug 40292.

Jun 08 build reproduces it for me. If I navigate away from GMail tab and switch back it becomes blank until I refresh the page.

(In reply to comment #3) > Which nightly builds did you see this with on Snow Leopard? I suspect that this was an unrelated problem, possibly bug 40292. I can reproduce the same problem on r60920 but possibly unrelated to this bug.

The bug you describe is different from this one. I forgot to update this bug after I determined the contributing factors. The contributing factor for this specific bug is the use of plugins. At the time of reporting this bug I had only gnash installed, and disabling netscape plugins caused gmail to not go blank. This happened in Midori, GtkLauncher, and Arora (Qt Webkit browser), but did not occur with Firefox, which led me to conclude that it must be a bug in Webkit, and now more specifically the way it handles plugins (maybe?).

Additionally, I last tested this in April with a nightly, where the problem was still exhibited, I have not tested it since then. I cannot list the specific nightly, as I have since reinstalled the OS on that machine and it has been running mostly headless since then.

Disabling the plugins seems to fix the issue for me, since GMail uses flash plugin a lot this might be due to Flash plugin.

Can anyone still reproduce this with a recent development version of WebKitGTK+?

Resolving this since no one can still confirm it, but if there is a reproduction for a recent version of WebKitGTK+ (1.8+) feel free to reopen.
