Also crashes immediatly if the Webkit Setting plugin is enabled in UI after startup.

Workaround: Install 1.14.4-3 and disable Webkit Setting plugin then upgrade to 1.15.1-2

Outputs:

Severity important because inexperinced users would have a difficult time discovering
what is wrong, and can not simply turn off the plugin in the UI since the application
does not start. Downgrading the package just to do this could be considered advanced.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for reporting issues you're experiencing.

For me it even hang my computer, I could move the mouse, but nothing was
responding anymore.

I'll report this upstream and hope they can help to figure out how to
prevent this.

Sorry, trying 1.15.3-1 the bug persists.

Reading the upstream bug report I expected the application to crash if I
activated the plugin, so that's fine.

However I also expected to be able to launch the application again with
the plugin automatically disabled on startup. This is not the case, the
application still crashes just as before.

/Martin

P.S. Sorry to anyone receiving these emails at martin-at-bredband.net,
my ~/.reportbugrc was misconfigured when I filed the report.

Hi Martin,

Confirmed. I have asked upstream to reopen the bug report.

Paul
