Alright, the problem has been confirmed by two members of the Galeon team. I'll just post the log here to avoid confusion. philipl: Just finished tracking down an annoying bug in 1.3.8 the context menu one? submitting forms sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, depending on the site I have tracked it down to user_pref("intl.charset.default", "Western (ISO-8859-1)"); with no coresponding gconf setting =3D broken There was a change in the gconf pref. The gconf pref now stores the mozilla recognized value rather than the human readable value. As such, the galeon code no longer translates the value when passing it on to mozilla. hence your crash. go to the prefs dialog and choose your default charset again to set the gconf pref correctly. user_pref("intl.charset.default", "ISO-8859-1"); plus .gconf/apps/galeon/Rendering/Language/default_charset to ISO-8859-1 =3D works this is exactly what I would hope. tko made the change and knows the exact details but it seems you know what you need. philipl: can it be fixed out of the box? As I said, if you explicitly set the pref again in the dialog, you should be ok. philipl: Also encryption of the wallet(password database) crashes mozilla if not, then tko screwed up somewhere. I didn't touch that, and basically that's why it's broken :) tko: say what? you didn't make sure the pref dialog was doing its job? pref dialog works perfectly (now) I just made the mistake of assuming the schema was valid philipl: yes, the workaround is to properly select the language via the preferences option. I've a fix for that, I think, but it'll break compatibility with 1.2, but it's not a problem, right? tko: I thought you decided to grandfather the old pref and give it a new name for 1.3.8 I didn't get around to decide anything... hmm The encryption is slightly odd to me. maybe it does something funny when showing the "type in your password" dialog. philipl: seems to have been a 1.4 issue philipl: upgraded to 1.5b and the issue seems to have gone away philipl: Still seem to have a slight issue with logging into a certain site. well, maybe we can hope it's all mozilla's fault then. :-) now I have to go to bed. *yawn* philipl: This slight issue works fine in Mozilla but what's the verdict for the charset pref? do we need a new one? well, Edgan has demonstrated that it can get ugly right now. philipl: before the charset was fixed the site wouldn't let me login at all with Galeon 1.3.8 philipl: now it will login, but it doesn't reload the page like it should I don't like the idea of migration code, it's hacky and easy to forget to get rid of. A new pref name seems a better choice for me. Most people won't be affected by it (probably using the default to begin with) Edgan: I don't know. That sort of problem requires a great deal more thought than I can throw at it right now. philipl: ok oh well, guess it's new pref then.. tko: you don't like the idea? well, I'm just pretending I don't like to break 1.2 compatibility ;) but I guess it'll break in any case without ugly hacks well, this break is better than crash breaks... now, I"m off to bed. good night folks. <-- philipl has quit (Client exiting) --=-lGlRMb+u+tOsBXpepjzb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQA/YXXKt+DSc2Q4lGYRAv4VAJ9QgpjIokaZ849pvWL3Ie6FqNCchQCfRDa6 mAi+7BLWuSIYbbTGLEvvSWI= =xOFn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-lGlRMb+u+tOsBXpepjzb--
