Alright, the problem has been confirmed by two members of the Galeon
team. I'll just post the log here to avoid confusion.
<Edgan> philipl: Just finished tracking down an annoying bug in 1.3.8
<philipl> the context menu one?
<Edgan> submitting forms
<Edgan> sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, depending on the site
<Edgan> I have tracked it down to
<Edgan> user_pref("intl.charset.default", "Western (ISO-8859-1)"); with
no coresponding gconf setting =3D broken
<philipl> There was a change in the gconf pref.
<philipl> The gconf pref now stores the mozilla recognized value rather
than the human readable value.
<philipl> As such, the galeon code no longer translates the value when
passing it on to mozilla.
<philipl> hence your crash.
<philipl> go to the prefs dialog and choose your default charset again
to set the gconf pref correctly.
<Edgan> user_pref("intl.charset.default", "ISO-8859-1"); plus
.gconf/apps/galeon/Rendering/Language/default_charset to ISO-8859-1 =3D
works
<philipl> this is exactly what I would hope.
<philipl> tko made the change and knows the exact details but it seems
you know what you need.
<Edgan> philipl: can it be fixed out of the box?
<philipl> As I said, if you explicitly set the pref again in the dialog,
you should be ok.
<Edgan> philipl: Also encryption of the wallet(password database)
crashes mozilla
<philipl> if not, then tko screwed up somewhere.
<tko> I didn't touch that, and basically that's why it's broken :)
<philipl> tko: say what? you didn't make sure the pref dialog was doing
its job?
<tko> pref dialog works perfectly (now) I just made the mistake of
assuming the schema was valid
<Edgan> philipl: yes, the workaround is to properly select the language
via the preferences option.
<tko> I've a fix for that, I think, but it'll break compatibility with
1.2, but it's not a problem, right?
<philipl> tko: I thought you decided to grandfather the old pref and
give it a new name for 1.3.8
<tko> I didn't get around to decide anything...
<philipl> hmm
<philipl> The encryption is slightly odd to me. maybe it does something
funny when showing the "type in your password" dialog.
<Edgan> philipl: seems to have been a 1.4 issue
<Edgan> philipl: upgraded to 1.5b and the issue seems to have gone away
<Edgan> philipl: Still seem to have a slight issue with logging into a
certain site.
<philipl> well, maybe we can hope it's all mozilla's fault then. :-)
<philipl> now I have to go to bed.
<philipl> *yawn*
<Edgan> philipl: This slight issue works fine in Mozilla
<tko> but what's the verdict for the charset pref? do we need a new one?
<philipl> well, Edgan has demonstrated that it can get ugly right now.
<Edgan> philipl: before the charset was fixed the site wouldn't let me
login at all with Galeon 1.3.8
<Edgan> philipl: now it will login, but it doesn't reload the page like
it should
<philipl> I don't like the idea of migration code, it's hacky and easy
to forget to get rid of.
<philipl> A new pref name seems a better choice for me.
<philipl> Most people won't be affected by it (probably using the
default to begin with)
<philipl> Edgan: I don't know. That sort of problem requires a great
deal more thought than I can throw at it right now.
<Edgan> philipl: ok
<tko> oh well, guess it's new pref then..
<philipl> tko: you don't like the idea?
<tko> well, I'm just pretending I don't like to break 1.2 compatibility
;)
<tko> but I guess it'll break in any case without ugly hacks
<philipl> well, this break is better than crash breaks...
<philipl> now, I"m off to bed.
<philipl> good night folks.
<-- philipl has quit (Client exiting)
