Attachments: Backtrace of Konqueror crashing when closing a window via JavaScript
Simply example of JavaScript close link that causes Konqueror to crash

Description William Kendrick 2006-01-22 13:07:39 UTC
Version:           3.5 (using KDE 3.5.0, Debian Package 4:3.5.0-3 (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.14-2-686

I've used a number of websites recently which pop up windows using JavaScript that contain additional information, and also a close button or link. e.g.:

  <input type="button" name="Close" value="   Close   " onClick="window.close();">

and:

  <a href="javascript:window.close()">Close Window</a>

In either case, clicking the JavaScript-based close button/link causes Konqueror to crash.  (I believe in earlier versions, e.g. 3.4.x, this did not happen, but I cannot be sure.)

Thanks!

I can not reproduce this based on these instructions, please provide as much of:
a)backtrace
b)testcase
c)sample URL
as possible 
Comment 2 William Kendrick 2006-01-22 23:37:08 UTC
I will attach a backtrace.

The sites I was using that causes the crash (CafePress.com and MaxBounty.com) are a bit complicated, and in some cases require a login.

However, I was able to reproduce with a simple 2-line HTML file, attached.
(It is also currently available at: http://www.sonic.net/~nbs/khtml-js-close-crash-test.html )

Thank you!

Comment 5 William Kendrick 2006-01-22 23:44:23 UTC
Note: I tried clicking the "Created an attachment (id=14347)" link here in this bug at bugs.kde.org.  When I click the JavaScript close link, rather than the window closing or Konqueror crashing, I get a pop-up dialog: "Close window?"  However, if I right-click the link and open it in a new tab or new window, the JavaScript close link crashes Konqueror.  (It seems to matter whether the 'close' action will close the only Konqueror window/tab.)

Thanks and good luck!
Comment 6 Maksim Orlovich 2006-01-23 03:47:35 UTC
Your backtrace suggests that some "googlebar" plugin is at fault.
Comment 7 William Kendrick 2006-01-23 07:42:07 UTC
Ah, you're right!  I disabled the Google Toolbar extension for Konqueror and that seems to have helped.  I'll check for an upgrade and/or contact the author.

Thanks!

Pasting the backtrace for future reference:

Comment 9 William Kendrick 2006-01-23 18:49:33 UTC
Sadly, upgrading to the latest version of Google Suggest Toolbar, 0.61 (released August 2005), did not appear to help.
Comment 10 Maksim Orlovich 2006-01-23 18:50:38 UTC
Thiago: different plugin:
[maksim@treetop Mail]$ cat ~/kde3/kdeaddons/konq-plugins/searchbar/Makefile.am |grep LT
kde_module_LTLIBRARIES = libsearchbarplugin.la

I don't think we have the googlebar thingie in SVN.
Comment 11 William Kendrick 2006-01-23 19:00:16 UTC
Ah, ok.  Here's where one can find it: http://sourceforge.net/projects/googlebar

I'll contact the developer directly.  Feel free to close this bug.  Sorry to waste your time!
Comment 12 tkaitchuck 2006-03-03 23:33:46 UTC
I have another backtrace of what appears to be the same bug on 3.5.1 However this one occurs when the javascript is attempting to close the main (only) window. Knoqueror prompts if it should actually close, this is the trace that comes up when I clicked "yes".

Comment 13 Eric Kjeldergaard 2006-09-01 16:03:18 UTC
As William said, not a KDE issue.  The second backtrace is unrelated to this bug.
Comment 14 Nerijus Baliƫnas 2006-11-30 04:03:33 UTC
My konqueror 3.5.5 crashes in such scenario:
Open http://freshmeat.net/projects/webcbq/
Press middle mouse button on a picture (screenshot)
a new window opens (http://freshmeat.net/screenshots/54393/58429/)
Press "close" link at the bottom of the page.
Comment 15 William Kendrick 2007-01-12 18:02:28 UTC
This still happens, even without the Google bar installed (I'm running Konq 3.5.5 on a new Kubuntu system).  Nerijus's example ('close' link on screenshot page at freshmeat.net) crashes my Konqueror, as well.
Comment 16 Magnus 2007-01-27 13:08:57 UTC
I'm unable to reproduce this in KDE 3.5.6 (Konqueror 3.5.6) with the freshmeat-link. Can you try with 3.5.6? You'll find Kubuntu packages at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-356.php 
Comment 17 William Kendrick 2007-02-01 04:07:49 UTC
Confirmed that it no longer happens for me in Konqueror 3.5.6 on Kubuntu (without Googlebar installed). Thanks!
Comment 18 Nerijus Baliƫnas 2007-02-12 23:55:15 UTC
It no longer happens with 3.5.6 in Fedora.
