yelp crashes when accessibility features are enabled

No problem on my box.

Could you get a backtrace of the crash ?
- $ apt-get install gdb
- $ gdb yelp
(gdb) run
... reproduce the crash
(gdb) bt

Please copy the backtrace result in the bug report.

I can't reproduce exactly the bug because when I launch yelp directly it crashes
before I can arrive on a page that contains an internal link...
It crashes after two click on simple link

tigrou@Lorien:~$ gdb yelp

hum, the backtrace shows a crash with libgail. Are you using some of the
accessibility tools ?

it was that ! I disable assistive technologies the GNOME Control Center and yelp
doesn't crash anymore.

Could you list the options to active to get the crash ?

I just enable the option called "Enable assistive technologies" in the Assistive
Technology Preferences.
Screenreader, magnifier or On-screen-keyboard were not checked.

I've reported the bug upstream:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154449

*** Bug 9197 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Should maybe be closed as a dup of bug 34384 as it has a more recent backtrace and even a full debug one.

dholbach said that this could probably be closed as a dupe of Bug #34384, which is now marked as Fix Released.

I am closing this bug.

If you still experience the bug on the latest Dapper Beta 2 please feel free to reopen this bug.
