Package: mozplugger Version: 1.14.5-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, I am encountering a bug with mozplugger which causes other tabs in an Iceape or Iceweasel window to become corrupted and unreadable. I had recently updated mozplugger, Iceape (2.7.5-1), and Iceweasel (10.0.5esr-2), and began to encounter this problem. In order to replicate this bug, open several tabs with one or more containing a mozplugger element, and then switch to the tab containing the mozplugger element then try to switch to a different tab. The display area of the window remains corrupted until the tab containing the mozplugger element is selected again. In the event that there are several mozplugger tabs, the first tab which caused the corruption must be selected again before the corruption is removed from the window. Closing the offending mozplugger containing tab fixes the corruption of the remaining tabs.
In my case, I encountered this problem on a tab containing a PDF file. It did not matter whether mozplugger tried to open the PDF with xpdf or evince. The result was still corrupted and unusable tabs in the window containing the mozplugger tab. Other Iceape windows which do not contain the offending mozplugger tab are unaffected and operate normally. The only "solution" to fix this is to disable the mozplugger plugin. It is possible that this bug is similar to or a duplicate of the upstream bug 24631. https://www.mozdev.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=24631 -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (800, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/3 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages mozplugger depends on: ii dpkg 1.16.7 ii galeon 2.0.7-2.1+b1 ii iceape [iceape-browser] 2.7.5-1 ii iceape-browser 2.7.5-1 ii iceweasel 10.0.5esr-2 ii libc6 2.13-34 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii m4 1.4.16-3 ii xulrunner-1.9.1 1.9.1.19-3 mozplugger recommends no packages.
