Internet Explorer crashing

[Yakui420]

Whenever I type something in the address bar, my browser suddenly crashes for no reason. The default site is blank and doesn't load as well.

Please could you let me know what distro you are using? Thanks!

I'm using Artix and I got it from the AUR.

I'll have to add Artix to my list. :stuck_out_tongue:

If you feel like debugging you can run explorer in gdb and post the stack trace here, otherwise I'll have to look at it when I'm properly back. :+1:

I also use Artix and I can confirm the problem. To be more precise, it happens when you type a string that doesn't start with http://. However for me, the default page loads.

I ran it through gdb and this is what I got.

Thanks for the extra information! Makes sense it would be an unhandled case in the view lookup code as there's still plenty to do there. I'll have a look more at explorer as a whole once I'm back proper. :grin:
