           Summary: UIM causes Firefox to crash
           Product: UIM
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86 (IA32)
               URL: http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-716ba922-
                    b40c-4770-b236-1dec12091116
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: bridge: GTK+
        AssignedTo: uim-bugs at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: martin at autotelic.com


(Please note that I guessed at the component, as suggested)

I do not fully understand the stack trace in the URL, however, the Firefox
developers are convinced that UIM is responsible for causing Firefox to
routinely crash on my system.

I got to this point because Firefox would crash within minutes every time I ran
it. There was no predictor of exactly when and why it would crash, but it would
definitely crash if given enough time, which wasn't very long.

So I first reported it to the Ubuntu developers, who suggested that I take it
to the Firefox developers. They asked me to run some stack trace bug reports,
like the one linked to, and they were absolutely convinced that the stack
traces showed clearly that UIM caused the crash. (Specifically im-uim.so)

I had my doubts, but I have tried temporarily removing UIM from my system, and
so far Firefox is now running okay again.

Please note that when Firefox crashes, it is not when I actually enter any
text, or interact with UIM in any way that I know of. It seems that the mere
presence of UIM on my system causes Firefox to be unstable.

I hope this bug can get resolved, because I much prefer to use UIM for
inputting Japanese than other systems on Ubuntu.

Thank you, and I hope to hear from you soon.
