Description Johannes Buchner 2009-04-26 15:45:14 UTC

Gnome-Panel crashes when there are weird characters in the title bar.
This seems to also affect XFCE4.

Awesomemost bug ever.

Everything is up-to-date as of today. gnome-panel is 2.24.3-r1.
I am on amd64.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit the website http://www.univie.ac.at/strv-astronomie/StV_Astronomie/Semester.html with Firefox. 
2. The window title appears in two lines.
3. the gnome-panel disappears, and tries to reload itself, crashes again, until you navigate away from the site.

Instead of linking to an external site which may be gone tomorrow, better attach a minimal testcase to the bug.

Can reproduce this here. Gilles tried this on 2.26 and it is not reproducible. Filed a bug upstream at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580326
