Rikaikun crashes every time I try to enable it

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Click Rikaikun icon once (nothing happens)
2. Click Rikaikun icon again (A popup says Rikaikun has crashed)

This happens every time I try. I have tried restarting Chrome.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output is for Rikaikun to become enabled. Instead it crashes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Rikaikun 0.8.5
Chrome 22.0.1229.79 m
Windows Vista Enterprise edition SP2 32-bit

Please provide any additional information below.
The only recent changes I know of is installing the extensions below, but I 
tried disabling them and Rikaikun still crashes. Rikaikun has been working fine 
up until this morning (meaning that it worked fine for two days with the below 
extensions installed).

Hmm, it's hard to say what could be the problem in an isolated case like this.  
Rikaikun hasn't changed of course so it's tough to see what could be causing 
it.  Maybe low memory?  Seems unlikely.

If you know how (or could look up) how to look at the javascript console in the 
Chrome developer tools when you click on the icon the first time it might show 
some errors that could be useful.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I have the same OS, Chrome version, and Rikaikun version and also have the 
issue.

The only thing I've managed to capture in the console is the following message:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'style' of null 
/p/rikaikun/issues/detail?id=80&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Stars%20

Dominic,

The error is just some problem with this page not the extension.  Darn.

Did it also start this morning for you?  Was there a recent windows or chrome 
update I wonder?  

It'd be strange if it was a chrome update though since I test the new releases 
before they're launched to everyone and haven't seen this problem.

I'll keep thinking and be sure to tell me if you guys think of anything else.

Unfortunately, I get absolutely no output in the console on either of the 
clicks.

Hi,

I only found the extension late last week, and it has been doing it ever since 
- so I can't really say if it's a recent Chrome update, sorry.

This also crashes Rikaikun:
1. Open chrome://chrome/extensions/
2. Open "Inspect views: background.html" for Rikaikun
3. Click the Rikaikun icon once
4. Click the "Sources" tab in the background.html popup window.

Still couldn't get any output in the console though.

Now Rikaikun is working again. I rebooted my computer yesterday so that might 
have been what "fixed" it.

Working for me too, sorry - I was sure I had already tried that.

I'm just glad it's working again.

It's crashing again. Same as before. Any chance of building some kind of 
debugging function into Rikaikun? Might be that a reboot will fix it again, but 
rebooting the computer everytime isn't really a good long-term solution.

On the extension side, all javascript is debuggable through chrome via the 
javascript console.  The problem is I can't recreate the problem and there are 
no obvious errors that are showing up it seems.  I assume over time something 
is changing in the OS which is fixed by a restart and that is causing rikaikun 
to fail.  

It's hard to imagine errors which cause the extension to crash but not print 
some error so maybe I'll see if a log is generated somewhere.
