Browser crash when called from an other app

  • /e/ version: 0.8-2020041649926
  • Device model: Pocophone F1 (beryllium)

Summary

On my Pocophone F1 with a fresh install, the browser crash when I want to see the changelog from the updater. I opened the same bug from the Updater (#1188 (closed)) but I realized, this bug is not only in the Updater, for exemple from Opencamera. Every time a link is accessed through a middleware application, it crashes.

  • The device is unusable
  • The bug is the source of a data loss or a big waste of time
  • The bug concerns a third party app
  • The bug concerns security
  • The bug concerns privacy

The problem

Steps to reproduce

The Pocophone had a fresh install, 4 days ago. Launch an app, for exemple, Opencamera, go to the settings, tap on "About", tap on "Privacy policy". The browser is launched, but you return immediatly to Opencamera. With the square button, bring the Browser forward, it crash with message "Browser keeps stopping".

What is the current behavior?

Browser crash when called form an other app.

What is the expected correct behavior?

No crash on call.
