Description Nick Leverton 2012-07-20 10:23:02 UTC
Application: kwin (4.8.90 (4.8.90))
KDE Platform Version: 4.8.90 (4.8.90)
Qt Version: 4.8.1
Operating System: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic-pae i686
Distribution: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:

I had been running a Konqueror Java applet which seemed to have left some hidden windows.  They showed up in alt-tab task list but not in the task bar.  When I alt-tabbed to them, no window appeared on the screen so I couldn't close them.

Howeverthere was also a Konqueror instance apaprently with no window title, just an icon.  I can't remember now if it showed up in the alt-tab list or only in the task bar, I hav a feeling it was the latter.  Eitehr way, when I selected that instance to close it, Kwin crashed immediately.

Not sure what the applet is, it's something supplied by my virtual hoster for VNC access to my virtual machine.  I will find out that and attempt to reproduce for other missing details, and append them later.

Most likely fix

would you have a chance to reproduce the situation and test this patch? Pretty sure it will fix the crash but would be nice nevertheless :-)
Comment 2 Martin Flöser 2012-07-21 09:37:43 UTC
Added a review request with a unit test to simulate the crash: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/105645/
Comment 3 Martin Flöser 2012-07-22 17:24:32 UTC
Git commit ff0f879b66e275030570d9d36909e7fecd01b3ec by Martin Gräßlin.
Committed on 21/07/2012 at 11:25.
Pushed by graesslin into branch 'KDE/4.9'.

Verify pointer is valid when calculating the longest caption

The method was missing a check whether the weak pointers in the
internal list got deleted. This could in very unlikely cases
lead to a crash.

In order to verify that adding the null pointer check fixes the
crash a unit test is added to simulate the situation of a
pointer being deleted. This required to add a mock a few
classes of TabBox. A MockTabBoxHandler and MockTabBoxClient are
added implementing the specific interfaces. The DeclarativeView
is completely mocked to make the linker happy. Including the
actual implementation is not possible as it pulls in half of
KWin core.
