Crashes when using the menu

Unread post by grokit » 2017-08-09, 16:58

I just found Pale Moon and I think I like it but there is a show-stopper bug. Whenever I try to use the menu the browser crashes. I was trying to add some bookmarks so I clicked on the word 'Bookmarks'. Immediate crash. Then I tried to use keyboard shortcuts, Alt-B crashed too.

When starting palemoon from a terminal I always get the following output after a crash:

Code: Select all

###!!! ABORT: X_CreatePixmap: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation); 4 requests ago: file /usr/src/packages/BUILD/toolkit/xre/nsX11ErrorHandler.cpp, line 144

I'd be happy to provide more information.

That is not an issue with Pale Moon. It has something to do with running GTK apps in a Qt environment.
Please make sure you have properly set a theme (breeze) and icons for GTK apps in your KDE settings.
You may follow some advice from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fi ... ntegration

Also make sure your GTK theme engines are up-to-date. Especially oxygen-GTK needs to have a version that patches a known issue with all Mozilla applications for Pale Moon.
