Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
To reproduce: go to Wikipedia, edit a page, firefox crashes.
On a new page, firefox only crashes when text is entered into the
textarea.
Console error message:
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/firefox/components/libmyspell.so: undefined symbol:
_ZN8Hunspell5spellEPKc
Ubuntu version: xubuntu 'gutsy' after ordinary distribution upgrade from
'feisty'
Firefox package version: 2.0.0.8+1nobin
Workaround: Go to Edit->Preferences->Advanced->General and, under
"Browsing", uncheck "Check my spelling as I type".
Comment: it appears that firefox is linked against a different version
of the library that provides the spell-checker, which is activated when
a textarea is populated, than the one that is installed. This is pretty
nasty. Having to kludge it with such a workaround sucks.
** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
