Backtrace from gdb

I was developing a java applet that lets the user drop files into it. And I was testing it in firefox, dragging files from dolphin. It was fine for a while, but after repeating many times, dolphin started crashing when I attempted to drag a file to the applet again. It kept crashing after restarting firefox. Interestingly, it doesn't crash (yet) if I drag to the applet running in chromium.

Thanks for the report. The root-cause for this issue is in Qt: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-19363 In Dolphin for KDE 4.8.1 we try to bypass the crash but the real fix must be done in Qt.

Do you think my crash is related to hiding tooltips? Or they both have the same root cause?
Comment 3 Peter Penz 2012-04-12 15:28:18 UTC 
Yes, tooltips might be one root-cause but the issue happens with any X11 window that might disappear during dropping.
Comment 4 aditsu 2012-04-12 15:36:33 UTC 
I'm not convinced that's what happened in my case; anyway, I upgraded to 4.8.1 and will see if it happens again.
