[Bug 32772] New: Built-in iexplore crashes on exit with Flash player plug-in installed
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32772 Bug #: 32772 Summary: Built-in iexplore crashes on exit with Flash player plug-in installed Product: Wine-gecko Version: unspecified Platform: x86 URL: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/install ers/archive/fp_11.5.502.146_archive.zip OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, source Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-gecko-unknown AssignedTo: jacek(a)codeweavers.com ReportedBy: dmitry(a)baikal.ru Classification: Unclassified Since winetricks has not been updated to support recent Flash player releases it needs to be installed manually (flash 11.5.502.146 is the latest one): rm -rf ~/.wine wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_11.5.50... wine fp_11.5.502.146_archive/11_5_r502_146/flashplayer11_5r502_146_winax.exe wine iexplore http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about About Flash page correctly reports "You have version 11,5,502,146 installed", but Flash demo actually doesn't show (although comments in the bug 15092 claim that at one point Flash worked fine in built-in iexplore and youtube).

You're a developer, you should know better that sometimes it takes a while before one can work on a given bug. That said, you also didn't bother to run a regression test and your assumptions are based on a comment from unrelated bug, which seems to be about NPAPI version of Flash, but you seem to be testing ActiveX version. Still, that worked at some point too. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

This bug is about a crash in gecko, and I didn't claim that there was no crash before, so this bug is not about a regression.

Well, it still seems like a regression. Anyway, if you don't think it's a regression, then your complains about lack of activity on the bug is even more disappointing.
Speaking about Flash plugin functionality, how do you know that bug 15092 is about NPAPI version of flash?
That bug predates our support for AcviveX in MSHTML.
Does built-in iexplore support such version of Flash plugin or supported at some point?
Yes, it should still work (although it won't integrate well with scripts on the site, so you may expect some sites to not work in this configuration). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.winehq.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes.

By "disappointing" I meant that apparently at some point Flash plugin worked, comment http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15092#c21 already contains a lot of results of investigation/attempts on Flash functionality in built-in iexplore, and it's sad that there was no progress since then, and that one may expect that Flash is very widely used, and supposed to be at least actively worked on. Of course, I understand priorities and such, but posting a comment explaining that and updating status doesn't take too much time.

Did you test it with recent versions of gecko+iexplore? Do you have some suggestions/instructions how to install and use NPAPI version of Flash with built-in iexplore?

Installing a not ActiveX version of Flash plugin works, and executing 'wine iexplore http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about' reports correct Flash version. But either exiting iexplore or pressing Refresh button lead to the same crash in gecko.

I reviewed those bugs and almost all of them were already fixed or belong to mshtml component. Separated product made more sense in the past, when Wine Gecko development was very active. The package is in maintenance mode now and I'd be in favour of retiring bugzilla product and (ab)using mshtml for Gecko bugs. The only bug left in this component now is bug 43938 and having it in mshtml component wouldn't be wrong. Distinguishing between wine-gecko and mshtml has always been challenging for reporters (for understandable reasons), at this point I don't think that the complication is justified. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

The only bug left in this component now is bug 43938 and having it in mshtml component wouldn't be wrong. Distinguishing between wine-gecko and mshtml has always been challenging for reporters (for understandable reasons), at this point I don't think that the complication is justified.
Bug 49448 is clearly a bug in Gecko (despite its component is set to mshtml). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply. You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Not sure if it's really worth to distinguish, given the small number of Gecko bugs. Maybe the 'mshtml' component description could be enhanced in WineHQ bugzilla: https://bugs.winehq.org/editcomponents.cgi?action=edit&product=Wine&componen... --- snip --- HTML, CSS parser and renderer --- snip --- to reflect that "Wine-Gecko" is covered as well. Alternatively, new component could be created under 'Wine' product - but again, is it worth? Same argument: too few bugs, too much overhead to correct bug reporter input.

Bug 49448 is clearly a bug in Gecko (despite its component is set to mshtml).
Oh, right, this would be another one with current definition. But if we changed the definition as Anastasius suggested, it would fit mshtml. One way to look at Wine Gecko is that it's an internal (but significant) implementation detail of mshtml and as such bugs belong there. The fact that the code that needs to be changed is in Gecko may be expressed in a summary. In fact, it has always been partially this way, the separated product was meant as a tool to properly track status. For bugs that require Gecko changes, we can resolve them in gecko product as soon as it they are fixed in Wine Gecko git and later move resolved bug to mshtml component when Wine is upgraded to use the fixed version of Gecko. By retiring separated product we lose the ability to have 'fixed in Wine Gecko git, but not yet in Wine' state. The volume of such bugs is low enough that I don't mind. And to be fair, it's usually more than two bugs that belong to gecko product under current definitions. The fact that there are no more bugs is partially because I recently released Gecko update that fixed a few of them. There is still quite a bit of work that would be nice to have done on Gecko side. It's just that majority of remaining mshtml work is in Wine part of mshtml using the existing Gecko (that is no longer updated every few months with tons of new features and problems merged from upstream). -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
