Description acidrums4 2020-06-10 12:28:44 UTC
SUMMARY
Since Plasma 5.18, Falkon will crash everytime trying to open facebook.com or other websites (not every website), but only when using it under Wayland. Updated today to Plasma 5.19, re-emerged Falkon but it's still crashing. This didn't happened before, it was stable both on X and Wayland.

Tried to create a new test user and reproduce and opening it with no extensions (-e), portable mode (-o) and private mode (-i), but on all cases it crashed. It saves a crashlog file, but (I guess it's because my system doesn't have gcc debug symbols) it only says this:

Time: wed. jun. 10 07:09:20 2020
Qt version: 5.14.2 (compiled with 5.14.2)
Falkon version: 3.1.0
Rendering engine: QtWebEngine

============== BACKTRACE ==============
#0: falkon(+0x412a) [0x55e4112a712a]
#1: /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x3332c387a0) [0x7f7671a437a0]

I don't know what else to do. This made me go back to X as Wayland was already my daily driver. Though it's weird I hadn't read about someone else with the same issue anywhere else.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Be under a Wayland session with Plasma 5.18/5.19
2. Open Falkon
3. Open facebook.com

OBSERVED RESULT
Falkon immediately crashes before the progress bar even reaching its 100% state.

EXPECTED RESULT
Hmmm... Not crashing?

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Kernel 5.6.0-pf7 (pf-sources)

Just found out that setting QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb serves as a workaround.
Comment 2 Justin Zobel 2020-10-25 04:38:55 UTC
I've just used Falkon 3.1.0 on Qt 5.14.2 to browse Facebook without any issues. Can you please try again and let us know if the issue persists.
