This crash looks to be due to an infinite loop between a child and parent in atk.
This is what I think is happening: - The loops begins with a call to atk_component_get_extents() on a gtk notebook page. - atk_component_get_extents() then calls iface->get_extents() [1] - which translates to gtk_notebook_page_accessible_get_extents() [2] - the gtk notebook page then calls atk_component_get_extents() on it's child [3] - where child's iface->get_extents() translates to atk_socket_component_real_get_extents() [4] - in which the child calls atk_component_get_extents() again on its parent [5] - - - - [1] https://salsa.debian.org/gnome- team/atk/-/blob/9118d44778e4d3a05810012cdcaa69eb4db2c389/atk/atkcomponent.c#L299 [2] https://source.puri.sm/dorota.czaplejewicz/gtk/blob/2be4474a19d16a1a4862d730f5114169b1ccf5ed/gtk/a11y/gtknotebookpageaccessible.c#L340 [3] https://source.puri.sm/dorota.czaplejewicz/gtk/blob/2be4474a19d16a1a4862d730f5114169b1ccf5ed/gtk/a11y/gtknotebookpageaccessible.c#L323 [4] https://salsa.debian.org/gnome- team/atk/-/blob/e7276a0c47a0bd3cfb5654583ca3358ddf51a609/atk/atksocket.c#L104 [5] https://salsa.debian.org/gnome- team/atk/-/blob/e7276a0c47a0bd3cfb5654583ca3358ddf51a609/atk/atksocket.c#L198 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to atk1.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870508 Title: ubiquity crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance_is_a() Status in atk1.0 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: == Test Case == 1.
