Description of the issue:
Brave browser crashes when dragging text onto title/tab bar.
I could reproduce it on my nvidia based desktop on both the flatpak and AUR version (brave-bin) and both Wayland and X11, and I can even reproduce it now after switching to AMD RX 9070 XT.
It seems to be somehow connected with the actual selection content. If I try to drag text from Google search results, it’s fine. But sometimes the text has some metadata I guess and it crashes (I can easily reproduce it on Brave’s new tab Bandwidth saved text for example)
Uploaded: Crash IDs:
AMD X11: aa810100-dac3-ac0d-0000-000000000000
AMD Wayland: ce7f0100-dac3-ac0d-0000-000000000000
How can this issue be reproduced?
- Open a new tab with default Brave new tab content
- Select the text
Bandwidth saved - Drag it onto the browser title/tab bar
- The moment the cursor enters the title/tab bar it crashes
Expected result:
The selection can be dropped to open a new tab with a search query instead of crashing.
