bug#26186: 25.1; Emacs compiled with --with-xwidgets segfaults when I call "xwidget-webkit-browse-url"

[Oscar Belletti]

The steps I do to reproduce the bug are:
>$ emacs -Q
Then in emacs:
  M-x xwidgets-browse-url RET http://www.google.com RET
Emacs crashes and I get this error:

Fatal error 11: Segmentation fault

Thanks.

Can you try the latest release candidate of Emacs 25.2?  This problem
might be fixed there.

OK, thanks for trying.  I guess this is some new problem, then.

A reddit user suggested[1] this is fixed now (possibly due change of
webkit version used); do you see this in 26.1?

More information was requested about a year ago, but none was given, so
it seem unlikely that we'll be able to proceed with this bug report, and
I'm now closing it.

If you're still seeing this problem in newer versions of Emacs, please
reopen.
