This happens if you switch tab before the new tab has finished loading.

I found out that if we remove L2440 and L2441 of netsurf/gtk/scaffolding.c then this bug get fixed.

https://github.com/Achal-Aggarwal/netsurf/blob/master/gtk/scaffolding.c#L2440

I don't know what is the purpose of those lines.

Actually when a tab is in loading state and user click on it to focus on it, then method "nsgtk_scaffolding_set_top_level" is called to set the current active top level gui window. The browser window associated with it doesn't have scaffold and in the method "nsgtk_search_set_forward_state" a null pointer is accessed which in result do "Seg fault".
