Description Christopher Deckers CLA 2010-09-14 15:54:03 EDT 
Build Identifier: SWT 3.6

Certain HTML (generally quite long) crash the JVM when loaded in an embedded XULRunner (Mozilla style).
I tested on Windows (1.9.0.3) and Linux (1.9.2.8), where IE and Webkit can load the content but XULRunner crashes.
See attached test case.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. String s = some_specific_html;
2. Browser.setText(s)

Comment 2 Christopher Deckers CLA 2010-09-14 15:58:13 EDT 
In the test case, set IS_MOZILLA to true to get the crash.
Comment 3 Grant Gayed CLA 2010-09-14 17:10:52 EDT 
I don't see a crash with this snippet, tried on Windows and Linux with a few different versions.  Can you think of any other factors that could be relevant?  Do you get a crash log?

VM crash log

Hi Grant,

Did you change IS_MOZILLA to true?

I do have a crash log on Windows, which I attach. The error on Linux is different (Segmentation fault if I remember correctly, I don't know where the crash log ends up on that box...)

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

I tried again on Windows with SWT 3707 (I20100914) with same results.

On Linux, I confirm that with 3.6 I get a "Segmentation fault" in the console, with no sign of a crash log.
Comment 6 Peter Severin CLA 2011-07-22 02:48:34 EDT 
Not sure if this is the same issue. I get a segmentation fault while using MPC with embedded browser. Here's the console output:

No bp log location saved, using default.

Happens with latest Eclipse Indigo. It happens for me every time. Here are the staps:

1. Launch Eclipse Marketplace
2. Choose the link "Browser for more solutions".
3. In embedded browser choose Subclipse plug-in on the left and then click "Install".
4. The MPC dialog pop's up and then Eclipse crashes

I am on Ubuntu 10.04 using the latest Eclipse for RPC Indigo fresh install.

Mozilla is removed for 4.8.
