Description Vince Verleye 2002-06-05 15:36:36 UTC
Several persons have confirmed getting a segfault when closing Galeon if it
still has multiple tabs open. You get a warning about the tabs being open, then
when you tell galeon it's ok to close, it crashes with a segmentation fault.

This only happens when multiple tabs are open.

I'm using Galeon 1.2.3
Comment 1 Lee J. Moore 2002-06-12 08:21:04 UTC
Galeon was today updated to 1.2.5 via a Portage world update, and this bug still
exists.
Comment 2 Mark Saward 2002-06-12 08:36:24 UTC
I would like to confirm that this problem exists for me also, and for a friend
of mine also I think.
Comment 3 Daniel Sabo 2002-06-12 18:51:44 UTC
It happens for me too. Also, this happened when I compiled galeon myself under
Slackware previously.

Gentlemen, is this an upstream issue?
Comment 5 Vince Verleye 2002-06-20 13:04:08 UTC
I'm sorry. I don't quite understand what you mean with upstream?
Comment 6 Gabriele Giorgetti 2002-06-24 08:12:09 UTC
yes this is an upstream bug:

I "solved" this on my machine. 
Adding a "return;" as the second line of gtk/gtktooltips.c/gtk_tooltips_set_tip
did the trick :)
Sure, I loose all my tooltips, but guess which one's more important to me, a
stable browser, or pretty tooltips?

There has been a discussion about this over at Gentoo's Forums:

Included is a patch that fixes this problem, without impairing anything else.
