Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnucash
This is one of the most bizarre bugs I've ever seen. In gnucash, when I
go to Help > Contents, a help window opens. Then another one opens.
And then another one, and another one, and another one... about two per
second, faster than I could possibly stop them. My desktop and task bar
fill up with them. I try to kill GnuCash by right-clicking on its
taskbar icon, but I can't because the icon keeps moving as new help
windows open. This continues as long as I let it... there are dozens of
help windows, sprouting everywhere. The CPU is churning, the system is
starting to swap memory out. Finally I have no choice but to kill my
desktop session, mercifully ending the assault.
This is a repeatable problem. When I log back in and try it again, the
same thing happens. However, I just logged in as two other users and
tried the same thing, and neither of them had this behavior.
