Public bug reported: I had two tabs open in firefox: http://slashdot.org/ and http://blog.oup.com/2009/03/science-fiction/
With each tab active, the corresponding window titles were "News for nerds, stuff that matters (16) - Mozilla Firefox" and "Nine Words You Might Think Came from Science but Which Are Really from Science Fiction

..." With the second tab active, gnome-panel crashes, is relaunched, crashes again, and so on. Switching back to the first tab stops it, switching back to the second starts it again. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu jaunty (development branch) Release: 9.04 apt-cache policy gnome-panel gnome-panel: Installed: 1:2.26.0-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 1:2.26.0-0ubuntu5 Version table: 1:2.26.0-0ubuntu5 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages *** 1:2.26.0-0ubuntu4 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Long window title causes panel to crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356849 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-panel in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
