Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: yelp
On my Ubuntu installation, it is possible, replicably, to make the Help
system crash with the error:
** Yelp:ERROR:(yelp-document.c:275):yelp_document_cancel_page:
assertion failed: (document != NULL && YELP_IS_DOCUMENT (document))
The following is the sequence:
start Help; search for keyword "bookmarks"; click on one of the links offered
("Visual Effects", for example); first of these clicks has no effect at all;
second click causes close down of Help system.
This is on 8.04 (upgraded from 7.10, not a new installation).
I couldn't manage to get yelp to come up under strace, so no strace log
available.
When I ran yelp from within gdb, the symptoms changed -- again, first click has
no effect, but now second click hangs
the system rather than having it crash.
The gdb log is attached.
** Affects: yelp (Ubuntu)
