This also happens with the GTK version, however it requires a few more clicks.

And it's probably related to an buffer overflow or other memory corruption.

I also get:

(169.506747) content/content.c content__reformat 357: 0x9d4c380 https://webmailer.de/smaction=reply
nsgtk: render/textplain.c:1265: textplain_get_browser_window: Assertion `c->handler == &html_content_handler' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

which differs from the previous posting. I assume c->handler can't be matched again &html_content_handler because one of these pointers is overwritten.

in selection_get_browser_window we have:

    if (s->is_html)
        return html_get_browser_window(s->c);
    else
        return textplain_get_browser_window(s->c);

in textplain_get_browser_window

we have:
    assert(c->handler == &textplain_content_handler);

Is this correct? I doubt the textarea is implemented as textplain_content

Part of the log:

  ( 49f8c4) pc: 6e620 lr: 36fb4 sp: 49f8c8 textplain_get_browser_window()
  ( 49f8e8) pc: 36fa0 lr: 2635c sp: 49f8ec selection_clear()
  ( 49f900) pc: 26328 lr: 37424 sp: 49f904 browser_window_set_selection()
  ( 49f924) pc: 3730c lr: 54e44 sp: 49f928 selection_click()
  ( 49faa4) pc: 54430 lr: 94d0 sp: 49faa8 html_mouse_action()

seems to indicate that the assumption that this has something to do with frames isn't so unrealistic.

I can confirm that writing mails with squirrel mail isn't very stable.

But configuring squirrel webmail to open "new mail" within a new window seems to fix the problems. So maybe
this is related to frames?

Is this issue still happening in the CI build of NetSurf?

Apparently not. The original reporter writes:

The fault, ID 0000471 Fail edit in Squirrel Mail, was raised by me
anonymously. I believe this was a fault exihited with other situations
i.e. crash when editing in a window.

I have not seen this fault with development NS issues for some time, so as
far as I am concerned the fault is fixed.


Closing, presumed fixed.
