+ Impact
+ ======
+ The GNOME Shell browser plugin is unstable when Epiphany (the GNOME Web
browser app) access https://extensions.gnome.org/
Steps to Reproduce
==================
- From Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS or 16.10, install epiphany-browser
- Browse to https://extensions.gnome.org/
- Click around. Eventually, the gnome-shell plugin will crash. This might be
triggered by visiting https://extensions.gnome.org/local/
- You can tell it crashed because /var/crash/ will get a file that looks
something like
_usr_lib_x86_64-linux-gnu_webkit2gtk-4.0_WebKitPluginProcess.1000.crash
Also, the website may display this message:
"We cannot detect a running copy of GNOME on this system, so some parts
of the interface may be disabled. See our troubleshooting entry for more
information."
- Reloading the page seems to work.
+ Regression Potential
+ ====================
+ Minimal. This one-line change was applied to GNOME Shell 3.18+'s git branches.
+
Other Notes
===========
- I was able to duplicate this with both webkit2gtk 2.14.0-1 and webkit2gtk
2.14.1-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu GNOME 16.10.
-
- I was also able to duplicate on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with webkit2gtk
- 2.10.9-1ubuntu1. gnome-shell versions in my tests range from 3.18 to
- 3.22.
-
- This will be "fixed" when gnome-shell removes its browser plugin.
- The GNOME Software 3.22 app already has partial support for GNOME Shell
extensions. See the attached GNOME bug.
