Description Rani Ahmad 2012-12-19 06:26:55 UTC
Hi. I am using the 64bit Nightly edition of firefox version 20.a01 . whenever I try to drag a word in a textbox (it happened when i was googling) , rather than using cut and paste, my Xorg crashes with memory dump. this is a bug i am facing
i reproduced it once again and i still get the same case.
I am using the none-free ATI driver.

It happens sorta similar crash in my usage of Eclipse Juno (the Java programmer IDE) when i try to drag in the "graphical layout editor of Android activities (application screens that is)"
Ouch!!! crashing as you develop and no save of long hard work.

I wish I can give you the crash dump, but i just either cannot or don't know how,
but the dump looks serious.

My OS : Debian squeeze with backports 

my `uname -a` command shows : 
Linux debian-hp 3.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Feb 11 08:41:32 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Xorg 7.5+8+squeeze1.

Looks like an fglrx driver issue.
