Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.30.6-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/epiphany-browser
Closing the last browser window while the history window (Go ->
History) is open, causes the epiphany-browser process to die. This is
the output on the console:
(epiphany-browser:4655): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
I've tried running epiphany-browser in gdb (with epiphany-browser-dbg
installed), but gdb says epiphany-browser exited normally, so there is
no other useful output.
This is the closest upstream bug I could find:
