Description Richard H. 2009-10-13 00:12:21 UTC
In KDE 4.3.2 there is a bug introduced in khtml, which crashes kopete, khtml, digikam, and maybe other applications as well. Please see the link for upstream bug report and patch.

It seems this will *not* be fixed by upstream before 4.3.3!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open Kopete
2. open the History viewer
3. close it

Actual Results:  
Kopete (in this example) crashes.

Expected Results:  
Simply close the window by hiding the widget.

It happens every time and is reproducable, see the bug report.
Please fix this, as this causes a lot of crashes!

I can confirm this bug in Kopete. I find it so annoying that I suggest downgrading to Kopete 0.12.7 (from KDE 3.5.10) until it is fixed.

Patch for kdelibs to fix KHTML crashes.

Patch created based on the upstream fix in SVN repo: http://websvn.kde.org/?revision=1033984&view=revision
It fixes my Kopete crashes indeed. No Kopete recompile necessary, just kdelibs.
Comment 3 Richard H. 2009-10-13 23:11:59 UTC
Yay! No more crashes after history browsing in kopete!

Attaching -r2.ebuild which helped me a lot by using this patch.

(Although I was at first wondering what format that patch is in, I only know the +/- ones)
