Description rembrand 2014-05-05 18:07:20 UTC
Application: konqueror (4.12.4)
KDE Platform Version: 4.12.4
Qt Version: 4.8.6
Operating System: Linux 3.14.2-200.fc20.i686 i686
Distribution (Platform): Fedora RPMs

-- Information about the crash:
- What I was doing when the application crashed:
Browse to the youtube site and start scrolling immediately
using the  scroll bars or start  typing to search for a video.
Do this a bit faster then usual and keep that doing for about 10 seconds.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
Browse to the youtube site and start scrolling immediately
using the  scroll bars or start  typing to search for a video.
Do this a bit faster then usual and keep that doing for about 10 seconds.

2.
Scrolling and/or typing becomes slower and slower.
Konqueror stops responding and finally crashes or hangs
permanently. Behavior is reproducible each time. 

3.
When doing things very slow and easy, it works 'better', for 
a longer period of time. Videos can be played and searched for but
after a while konqueror/webkit stops responding too.


Actual Results:  
Konqueror stops responding, hangs permanently and  crashes.
After that konqueror must be started again, no other issues.

Expected Results:  
Without hangs and crashes, browsing youtube sitem searching and watching videos.

- Custom settings of the application:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so (Adobe, version 11.2.202.356)
which is a symbolic link to  /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
This is the ONLY custom setting I did change.

Notes:
Using the QtWebkit from PyQt4-4.10.2-5.fc20.i686  produces the same result
(!!when used in a PyQt4 program!!).
Using konqueror in webkit mode only.
System is installed from scratch just 2 days ago.

-Versions installed:
qtwebkit-2.3.3-7.fc20.i686
qt-4.8.6-2.fc20.i686
PyQt4-4.10.2-5.fc20.i686
Fedora 20 Linux 3.14.2-200.fc20.i686

This official Fedora KDE spin has been updated with the latest updates 
as of 5 may 2014.
The crash can be reproduced every time.

Comment 2 rembrand 2014-06-13 19:25:38 UTC
It looks like this is related to the latest flash plugins and MAYBE the hardware in use.
This machine uses the ATI RADEON 3400 series with the default mesalib drivers that comes with Fedora 20. The crashes are always related to konquer/webkit mode or PyQt4 with webkit. When testing with Firefox the seg faults do not occur.

So far Linux Mint 16 (Cinnemon) inside a VirtualBox VM on the same Fedora 20 host does NOT show any problems with the PyQt4/Webkit flash plugins.

The seg faults do occur with
1) the latest Flash plugin libflashplayer.so (11.2.x.x)
2) the latest Gnash plugin  libgnashplugin.so
3) the older Flash plugin libflashplayer.so (9.x.x.x and 10.x.x.x) 

HOWEVER the crashed do much LESS occur with the libflashplayer.so 10.x

Notes: 
a) ONLY /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins is used as a plugin resource directory. All other system and home directories related to mozilla plugins are clean/empy/do not contain any kind of plugins.

b) Tests are all done with a single plugin installed each time (there where no other plugins at the time of the crashes inside /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins).

c) hardware acceleration on/of does not have any effect on stability
inside Fedora 20 KDE or the flashplugin.
Comment 3 rembrand 2014-06-13 19:39:10 UTC
The crashes do occur not after just 10 seconds but between 10 seconds and 15 minutes or so when browsing/playing movies and entering text on Youtube.
Comment 4 Dawit Alemayehu 2014-06-14 11:48:03 UTC
I cannot reproduce this crashe with KDE 4.13 and the latest adobe flash plugin on ArchLinux. Have you tried removing the flash/adobe directories?

rm -rf ~/.adobe/ ~/.macromedia/

This is especially important if you switch between the different flash plugins. Actually you only need to remove the cache, but I remove all of it from time to time. If you do not want to remove them, rename them to something else temporarily for the test.
Comment 5 rembrand 2014-06-24 12:47:52 UTC
Yes, I did remove the directories but without any result, the crashes do still occur on (/lib/libthread_db.so.1). I saw other bugs related to Google sites and it looks to me that it has to do with Java and Fedora 20 .
