Forget about that two times or more thing i've said. After playing a little more with it, all that i can say is: it happens or not. Here are two feeds with which it is quite reproducible: http://www.fr-online.de/rss/homepage/index.xml http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/base/standardfeeds/most_viewed?client=ytapi-youtube-browse&alt=rss&time=today The first one is of a german newspaper with a lot of flash advertisement, the second is youtubes daily most viewed feed. What i at least can say is that unlike bug #407005, it only happens when the page with the flash content is shown in a tab, and that tab is getting closed. But thats all. Anything else is guessing. For example, with the youtube feed, i've tried opening and closing articles in tabs about 10 times in row without crashing. Following that was a period where everytime i've tried, liferea crashed. All on the same feed and articles :-/ Btw. i'm on i386 and got the following version of flash installed: File name: libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 9.0 r115 > > I wasn't sure about the severity of this, as it causes data-loss of two > > different kinds: > > > > * Your metadata (read/flagged/deleted) get lost > > All your metadata, or what you had flagged in the session?

But regarding the fact, that i normally never shut down my computer but hibernate it, liferea sessions can be quite long. If i got Lars Lindner right, the database closing happens on a write counting base, not a timed base. Combining these two facts with a small set of feeds and not too much tagging, this might mean losing more than one or two minutes of metadata, maybe even days. > > * The latest headers have to be downloaded again > > Well, this is a bother but hardly data-loss. Your right, no data loss. Depending on your connection perhaps costly, but i guess there are not much people using liferea over a slow and expensive connection regularly. > > Normally i would say it's critical but didn't want to open more > > release-critical bugs without prior discussion, so this goes as > > important. > > Are you losing more than one or two minutes of metadata?
