Description Bráulio Barros de Oliveira 2008-07-11 03:16:12 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

On Firefox 3 drags of website texts/images Kwin may completly freeze using a hundred percert of the CPU.
Sometimes it will recover itself, but most not.
The bug doesn't happen all the time

PS: i`m using the proprietary nvidia driver.
Comment 1 Giovanni Masucci 2008-07-14 01:08:22 UTC 
same here...intel driver 2.3, xorg 7.2/ 7.3rc, kernel 2.6.24, kde trunk
Comment 2 Bráulio Barros de Oliveira 2008-07-16 23:37:51 UTC 
problem not verified on a dell m1330 with a intel video card, so probably a (another) nvidia issue
Comment 3 Bráulio Barros de Oliveira 2008-07-16 23:38:43 UTC 
ps to previous message: desktop effects not enabled
Comment 4 Lubos Lunak 2008-07-24 14:09:38 UTC 
Can you attach to the stuck kwin and provide a backtrace (http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/Debugging_with_GDB#Attaching_gdb_to_already_running_applications).

Backtrace from frozen kwin

Kwin froze after selecting and dragging text in firefox.
Comment 6 Lubos Lunak 2008-07-25 11:34:54 UTC 
That backtrace does not suggest kwin is stuck. Please try to get one that looks differently.
Comment 7 Mike 2008-09-11 17:15:55 UTC 
I am running Firefox 3.1a2 and the dragging of text is much much smoother so either this is a Firefox bug or it is a kwin bug which is no longer triggered by the latest Firefox.
Comment 8 Bráulio Barros de Oliveira 2008-09-11 18:35:27 UTC 
think so mike. marked as invalid
Comment 9 Pierre Maurier 2009-02-05 02:28:54 UTC 
I have the same issue with KDE 4.2.0 on OpenSUSE 11.1 using Firefox 3.0.5 and a ATI X700 mobility with 9.1 fglrx drivers.

Kwin doesn't crash but it disable the desktop effects.

Is this a Firefox issue ?
