Bug 225436

Version:           4.3.5 (using KDE 4.3.5)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hi,

I have a reproducable bug on a kde 3.5.7 with kwin in karmic kubuntu: When I am using the "cover switch" to switch between windows and one of the open windows disappears kwin seg faults. I can reproduce this when I use Thunderbird to send an email and start switching windows before the email was entirely sent. The editor-window in which the email was written closes itself once the email is sent, if this happens during switching it leads to kwin crashing.
I have desktop effects enabled and am using "minimise animation", "shadow", "slide", "translucency", "dialogue parent", "cover switch", "desktop grip" and "present windows"
I saw the following bug and hope that I'm not creating a duplicate: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184602 describing
It is a very similar issue, but the bugreport is marked as solved and my kwin does not crash when I use alt+tab after opening the k-menu.

For some reason I could not send the report through the crash handler, I saved the report instead:
Application that crashed: kwin
Version of the application: 4.3.5 (KDE 4.3.5)
KDE Version: 4.3.5 (KDE 4.3.5)
