kompozer keeps crashing

Can you run kompozer from terminal and provide more info about the crash? Thank you!

Yes, If you tell me what command to use in the terminal and how to capture the info you want.

I also experience this problem, but I run Kubuntu Jaunty. Here's the terminal output: Segmentation fault

That's all it gave me.

"Segmentation fault"

when rightclicking a table in "normal" tab.

Kubuntu Jaunty

  * New upstream svn version. This fixes a lot of Ubuntu bugs:
    (LP: #347779) (LP: #26002...

I use Hot Potatoes to generate html pages of cloze exercises that contain javascript. I edit the html pages in Kompozer to add links or embedded videos. There was no problem with Kompozer 0.710.

With 0.8 alpha, after editing and saving, when I click the "check" or "hint" button I get a popup with a "back" button rather than the usual "ok" button. Also, the popup refuses to close or go away. 0.710 does not have this problem.

I cannot use 0.710 in Ubuntu because of the crashing. Of course, I can use 0.710 with Wine but I would prefer not to. Any help or suggestions? Or, a fix for 0.8 alpha?

Thanks in advance.

Orionds > your bug report is not enough.

Please send an attachment with a sample file, as well as a step-by-step procedure to reproduce the bug, if you want me to work on it.

I was actually referring to a bug in 0.8a4. I should not have put the comment here. However, I will send a more detailed step-by-step description with sample files in the near future. Thanks.

Kazé suggested a "workaround". For the moment, I need only rename the htm or html file to one with an xhtml extension and Firefox comes up with the normal "ok" popup. Many thanks.
