I am using the proprietary Nvidia drivers, and the file does have some rather long lines. It did occur to me that the length of the lines might be what was triggering it, so I replaced all the characters in the file with 'x', and this didn't trigger the bug. This surprised me somewhat, since obviously to crash X it needed to be something outside FF. it only happened when I opened the file in FF though, and not in anything else. I presume this is a known bug that I couldn't find? :) Cheers, Doug. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Isotoma, Open Source Software Consulting Tel: 020 7620 1446 / Mobile: 07879 423002 / Fax: 020 79006980 Skype: dougwinter / http://www.isotoma.com Lincoln House, 75 Westminster Bridge Road, London, SE1 7HS -- Specific text file viewed in firefox crashes X reliably https://launchpad.net/bugs/52309 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
