Package: sun-java6-plugin
Version: 6.20-dlj-3
Severity: normal
Sometimes java crashes when I open a window with www2.superchat.at. I
have to 'killall -9 java'.
To reproduce log in at www2.superchat.at:
Use the 'Chat Login' for 'Neue und unregistrierte Benutzer' (new
and unregistered users'.
Enter your 'Wunsch-Nickname' (desired nickname),
'Geschlecht' (sex).
Check 'Ich habe die Hinweise zum Thema Jugendschutz und Privatsphäre
gelesen.' (I have read the hints regarding protection of minors and privacy)
and click 'Login*' (*By clicking you agree to the terms of use.) You
will get to the "session page".
Click 'Chat' in the menu bar of the top frame.
Scroll down and click on 'VIP-Lounge'. A chat window will open and tell
you: '[Dieser Raum ist nur VIPs zugänglich.]' ('This room is only
available to VIPs.')
Move you iceweasel window so that the link 'VIP-Lounge' is above the
close button of the VIP-Lounge chat window. Switch to the VIP-Lounge
chat window.
Now you can quickly and repeatedly close the VIP-Lounge chat window and
without moving the mouse reopen it with a second click. This is a good
strategy to enter full chat rooms, which you can only enter, when
someone leaves the room and before someone else fills it up again.
However, this also greatly increases the chance of triggering the bug:
All chat windows will be unresponsive. They will not restore their
content when other windows have temporarily covered it. They can no
longer be closed. Iceweasel continues to work. When I 'killall -9 java'
(or 'killall -9 java_vm' in older versions) all chat windows disappear.
When I reload session page I can reopen the windows that I lost, but
their contents will remain lost.
There's a good chance to trigger the bug with 100 or 200 attempts. Keep
trying for 2 minutes or so.
With older versions of java or iceweasel (or both, I don't remember)
iceweasel would also crash and use full CPU so I had to kill and
restart it.
The bug may also happen when opening other windows, such as when you go
to the 'Leute' page, click on anyones nick and then on 'Privaten Dialog
öffnen'. The same close button over window open link/button strategy
works here. It also happened once when in a chat window in the chat
menu I opened the 'Liste der ignorierten Benutzer ...'.
Thanks for investigating this bug.
