[Github-comments] [geany-plugins] Webhelper: geany crashes when I turn on web inspector (#412)

[Colomban Wendling]

FWIW, I can't reproduce on my Debian Unstable x86-64.

Also, to run GDM more directly, you can do `gdb -ex run --args geany -v`.

Anyway… looks very odd.  Could you try and run under Valgrind?  it looks like a memory corruption, so maybe Valgrind could help.  It's fairly slow to run anything under Valgrind, but use `G_DEBUG="gc-friendly:resident-modules" G_SLICE="always-malloc" valgrind geany -v`.

Also, you might want to install Geany's, Geany-Plugins' and WebKitGTK's (beware, there are many WebKitGTKs, it's *libwebkitgtk-1.0-0-dbg*) debugging symbols (-dbg packages) to see more meaningful traces with GDB and Valgrind.

This said, I doubt it's actually WebHelper's fault.  I could be wrong, but I doubt the plugin does anything odd enough to trigger something like that, and would rather imagine it's an obscure bug in libwebkitgtk going unnoticed because it's with the inspector.

If I get a chance I'll try and setup a 32 bits Jessie VM, but it might not be tonight.
