Galeon crashes w/ more than one tab open

Same thing happens to me. Everything else with Galeon works normally but I receive a segmentation fault upon exit with more than one tab open.

My system is compiled with gcc 3.1 and I also have the latest Mozilla and Galeon from Portage.

Perhaps this is a bug?

Thank you!

Now how do I apply this patch? Directly in the ebuild or can I just place it in the net-www/galeon/files directory and the ebuild will automatically apply it?

Thanks for your help...

Copy the diff to the files directory.

Open up the ebuild in a text editor, find the src_unpack function and change it from this:

Everything works great after I copied over the patch and remerged Galeon. Thank you very much!

Link just worked for me.
Suggest you try it at different times - it'll work eventually!

anybody thought of putting this patch in the official ebuild? it shouldn't be too difficult, unfortunately i'm not used with bugzilla...

Thanks a lot homar for the patch.
I've forward the patch and the updated ebuild to bugzilla:

I still get this problem, even with the ebuild with the bugfix in it. I'm running GCC3.2, with these versions of Galeon and Mozilla:

Maybe you should give galeon 1.2.6 a try, it is now in portage.

No idea. Mine is still crashing on a lot of form submissions with the latest Mozilla and Galeon ebuilds.

I'm using:
mozilla 1.1-r1
galeon 1.2.6

Exact same "Forms crash galeon" issue. I have not had the tabs issue, however. I had the same problem with mozilla 1.0 and galeon 1.2.5. I switched from the same setup on gentoo 1.2, and it did not exhibit any of these problems. I'm fairly sure it's a GCC 3.2 issue. It's not all forms, either. For example, google works perfectly, but voting in the slashdot poll blows it away. Both of these are reproducible (every single slashdot poll wipes it out, every time, and google always works). Could it have to do with what exactly gets posted, i.e. text vs. radio boxes?

I will reemerge, move my ~/.galeon directory to be sure, and test it out. Anyone else want to do something similar, see how much data we can gather for the poor bug hunters?

--- Addition ---
Just to see what happened, I compiled galeon directly from source on sourceforge. It seemed to work fine with a clean .galeon dir. With my old galeon dir, the bug appears. I am testing to try and narrow down what item in my configuration is causing it.

--- Hey look, another addition! ---
I'm now confused. I now cannot use the gentoo forum login through galeon, but slashdot works fine. the "short" login form (at the end of topics) works.. I'm not so sure it's a configuration issue anymore.
