Description Andreas 2012-03-01 16:45:55 UTC 
Version:           0.8.90 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

rekonq (v0.8.9 build from source but the same with v0.8 ubuntu package and also konqueror with webkit part) crashes when I open e.g.
http://einestages.spiegel.de/static/topicalbumbackground/24426/die_mark_die_nie_in_umlauf_kam.html
It does not give me any debugging information. Only on the commandline I see
QFont::setPixelSize: Pixel size <= 0 (0)
QFont::setPixelSize: Pixel size <= 0 (0)
QFont::setPixelSize: Pixel size <= 0 (0)
QFont::setPixelSize: Pixel size <= 0 (0)
No bp log location saved, using default.
[000:000] Browser XEmbed support present: 1
[000:000] Browser toolkit is not Gtk2 (0).
[000:000] Using Xt toolkit
QFont::setPixelSize: Pixel size <= 0 (0)

Comment 1 Andrea Diamantini 2012-03-01 17:43:25 UTC 
I can reproduce the crash in the URL you gave, but I see it is a qtwebkit crash. Please, report it upstream to https://bugs.webkit.org/.
Why are you saying rekonq is "generally unstable"? You gave us just one crashing link.
Comment 2 Andreas 2012-03-01 17:57:42 UTC 
Unfortunately not just this. But its the only one which is reproducable for me now. I got similar while browsing for a while but I suspect that it is webkit too as I have it with konqueror as well. 
What is the reason for rekonq to crash when webkit crashes. Is there no way to catch the error and to show a message "We are sorry, webkit just crashed ..."? Thanks and keep going!
Comment 3 Andrea Diamantini 2012-03-01 22:54:36 UTC 
I'm sorry to say actual webkit APIs do not allow this. We (and them) are searching different strategies to find proper solutions for this. From our side, you'll start seeing it from... rekonq 0.11.
Obviously, feel free to reopen this or another report if you find secure ways to reproduce the crashes you are experiencing.
Comment 4 Andreas 2012-03-03 14:20:25 UTC 
webkit comment says its qt related:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80035
Comment 5 Andreas 2012-03-20 13:25:10 UTC 
It was obviously caused by old webkit versions in kubuntu packages. Compiling webkit myself I could resolve the problem for me.
