With this testing version of firefox X completely freezes up. The mouse pointer turns into a sort of window resizing icon and can be moved by the mouse but that is all. To rectify I must switch to console using ctrl+alt+F1 and restart xdm Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to any web page where there is a gif image (e.g. the google logo on the google search engine) 2.Hold left click and drag across the google image as if you were trying to select it as text 3. Actual Results: X freezes Mouse is still active but pointer turns into window resizing icon Must switch to console mode and restart X Expected Results: No lock up Get this kind of animation where a little icon appears and floats back to where the pointer started dragging from
NOT a bugzilla product bug, please read the instructions when filing a bug.

I can confirm this on Fiefox 1.5_rc3. Sometime, Firefox freezes on me while dragging and dropping, but I can kill it from another terminal, it doesn't take x.org with it.

It's probably related to this: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305970 (see comment #13). Could you try compiling Firefox without gnome support and post if it still locks up?
(In reply to comment #4) Hi, I have re-emerged mozilla-firefox with the -gnome USE flag i.e. # USE="-gnome" emerge -av mozilla-firefox These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

The same thing happens with Mozilla! It does not happen with Epithany. Sat
Same here - X Session ends with no error. I tested firefox -gnome, nothing changes. if you try opening eg. www.wetteronline.de/de/hessen/hessen.htm it kills the complete session. firefox 1.5-r9: (either with gnome or -out it hangs) + + java : Adds support for Java - - mozdevelop : Enable features for web developers (e.g. Venkman) - - debug : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging. Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too - - gnome : Adds GNOME support + + ipv6 : Adds support for IP version 6 + + xinerama : Add support for the xinerama X11 extension, which allows you to stretch your display across multiple monitors - - xprint : Support for xprint, http://www.mozilla.org/projects/xprint/ Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/x86/2005.1/vserver, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.12-vs2.0-gentoo-r1 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.12-vs2.0-gentoo-r1 i686 Pentium III (Katmai) Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 Gtk Qt X alsa apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts browserplugin bzip2 cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl divx4linux doc dvd eds emacs emboss encode esd exif expat fam foomaticdb fortran gd gdbm gif glut gnome gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 idn imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 jack java jpeg kde lcms libg++ libwww lirc lua lzo mad mikmod mmx mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mysql nas ncurses nls nsplugin ogg oggvorbis openal opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl spell sse ssl svg tcpd tetex threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis xanim xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xv xvid zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
sorry don't know how to edit. www-client/mozilla 1.7.12-r2 will show the broken 404 page I've posted without hanging up... strange
After recompiling media-libs/giflib 4.1.4 & x11-base/xorg-x11 6.8.2-r6 problem disappeared @me.
Are people still suffering this issue? If so, have you tried updating to 1.0.7-r4 or 1.5.0.5? I'm trying to clean up old bugs that have been laying around for some time. If the issue is still present, let me know, otherwise I'll assume the bug is resolved. Thanks, Stuart Longland
Looks like this problem is fixed in newer firefox versions. Closing.
