Tweet crashes Mac Twitter client
- signed0 14y agoIt also crashes Chrome's current tab on OSX: http://imgur.com/vRn6Qid http://imgur.com/vRn6Qid
- _delirium 14y agoWeird, not for me. No crash with Chrome 24.0.1312.57 on OSX 10.6.8.
- Rayne 14y agoNot for me either with the same version. It doesn't even render, but it doesn't crash.
- signed0 14y agoI'm using 24.0.1312.57 on OSX 10.8.2. Perhaps it is a Lion/Mountain Lion thing.
- Rayne 14y agoI'm using Mountain Lion as well, and no crashes.
- csmattryder 14y agoWindows 7 - Google Chrome 24.0.1312.57m It's a little laggy, but it's rendering okay. Might be an OSX-localised issue.
- mitchty 14y agoMaybe depends upon language settings?
- shurcooL 14y agoIt does for me too. But not the neighbour tabs. Also 24.0.1312.57 on OS X 10.8.2.
- younata 14y agofirefox 18.0.2 on osx seems to survive...
- shardling 14y agoThough it does do unholy things to the tab/window title... :)
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- eridius 14y agoDoesn't crash Tweetbot or Safari.
- duskwuff 14y agoFor at least one application, the crash is in: 0 libvDSP.dylib ? + 117458 1 com.apple.CoreText TRun::TRun(TRun const&, CFRange, TRun::SubrangingStyle) + 850 2 com.apple.CoreText CTGlyphRun::CloneRange(CTRun const*, CFRange, TRun::SubrangingStyle) + 142 3 com.apple.CoreText TLine::SetLevelRange(CFRange, unsigned char, bool) + 162 4 com.apple.CoreText TLine::SetTrailingWhitespaceLevel(unsigned char) + 70 5 com.apple.CoreText TRunReorder::ReorderRuns(TBidiLevelsProvider const&, TLine&) + 122 6 com.apple.CoreText TTypesetter::FinishLineFill(TLine&, double, double) const + 142 7 com.apple.CoreText CTTypesetterCreateLine + 131 I'm not familar enough with CoreText internals to guess what's going wrong, though. :)
- Systemic33 14y agoNo crash on Chromium with Arch Linux
- niggler 14y agoIs this a mountain lion issue or does this affect lion and SL as well?
- _delirium 14y agoNot seeing any crashes on 10.6.x ("Snow Lion") here.
- Zirro 14y agoIt's "Snow Leopard". Apple isn't running low enough on cats to have to resort to mythological ones just yet ;-)
- _delirium 14y agoHah, you are of course correct. I can never keep the order of OSX cats straight, so I had to look up which one 10.6.x was. But then I typed it out wrong even after doing so!
- niggler 14y agoUnfortunately SL,L,ML doesn't suffice because Leopard (10.5) is also L :/ Though it should be noted that there is no other version that starts with 'S' ...
- bsg75 14y agoAnd unfollowing only solves the problem until someone in your stream retweets it. So I retweeted it.
- mmastrac 14y agoThe offending tweet content: ه҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈ͫͬͩͮͨͪͯͥͥͫͪͧͣͯͪͨͣͥͬͪ ҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈ͪͥͨͪͫͬͭͮͯͥͤͣͥͨͪͧͣͯͬͪ ҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈҈ͪͨͪͫͬͩͮͯͥͨͣͥͫͪͧͣͯͥͬͪ Edit: I've narrowed it down to the following byte sequence.

- spydum 14y agoWow that renders all sorts of glitchy on iPad/safari
- spdy 14y agoInteresting on chrome Version 24.0.1312.57 the tab crashes when i try to view the tweet but not here. Can someone explain what is happening and why the tweet is affecting the tab and this post does not? In the end both just render unicode characters. And it looks like only Firefox is able to display it correctly on OSX 10.8.
- DouweM 14y agoChrome uses OS X's CoreText for rendering the tab titles, but uses its own text rendering engine for the site body. CoreText is the one that crashes on that unicode.
- NelsonMinar 14y agoAnd apparently Twitter puts the content of a tweet in the <title> tag if you are on the page for a single tweet. Surprised that doesn't cause more problems.
- itistoday2 14y agoHow do you type this on a Mac?
- myhf 14y agoYou could turn on "Unicode Hex Input" in System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources and type in the unicode characters one at a time.
- ExtraJ 14y agoRetweeted, of course.
- general_failure 14y agoDoes anyone else see something funky at the top most comments?
- emiliobumachar 14y agoI do. Some justaposition of random chars. I'm on an iPad, what's your machine?
- kawsper 14y agoI see it on my Macbook in Chrome running on Mountain Lion.
- dade_ 14y agoYes, looks like this: http://s20.postimage.org/6athqkm3h/image.jpg http://s20.postimage.org/6athqkm3h/image.jpg Interesting bug.
- webbruce 14y agoYeah my twitter client is crashing now when I switch to another account that's already logged in.
- camus 14y agoshould it be considered as a new form of attack ? utf attack , or utf malware ( that's a question ).
- ihsw 14y agoIs it simply zalgo text? http://eeemo.net/ http://eeemo.net/
- zemanel 14y agoCrashing for me too .. can't open Twitter.app ... OS X 10.8.2 (12C60)
- lukeman 14y agoI'm sure they'll have a bugfix release out soon to fix this. Nah, just kidding.

- youngerdryas 14y agoI know I see the same on Windows and OSX. Apparently it has something to do with Unicode scripts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script_(Unicode) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Script_(Unicode) Edit: It is slightly different looking on Win7.
- keikun17 14y agoAaaand i locked myself out of twitter.
- alpb 14y agoCrashes Chrome on Mac (only the tab, not the whole process). Of course retweeted it!
- renanbirck 14y agoNo crash on either Chrome or Firefox on Arch Linux.
- eksith 14y agoRendering any typeable character(s) should never crash any engine... ever. That said, unicode seems to be the last frontier for the non-viral spread of glitches. I'm somewhat reminded of this : http://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454 http://stackoverflow.com/a/1732454

- Groxx 14y agoWould you mind indenting that two spaces so it shows up like this rather than breaking the page layout?
- cicloid 14y agoAlso crashes Tweetbot on the Mac
- objclxt 14y agoIf it's a CoreText bug, which is sounds like it is, it's going to impact any iOS or OS X app that uses Core Text for rendering. That's pretty much everyone.
- cleverjake 14y agoThis is crashing nightly webkit as well, so it is likely an issue there.
- sebastianavina 14y agocorrect me if i'm wrong, but somebody is working right now to use this bug in some piece of malicious code...
- Void_ 14y agoIt also crashes Sublime Edit when pasted.
- ihuman 14y agoThis twitter account and tweet displays fine on TweetBot for iOS, but causes lag when scrolling.
- zmarn 14y agoReally interesting, played around with it locally and it just kill two random neighboring tabs, while not effecting others. Chrome 24.0.1312.57 | OS x 10.8.2
- zmarn 14y agoOk, I narrowed down what kills Chrome. minimalist example: data:text/html;charset=utf-8,<p style='font-family: "Times New Roman";'>%D9%88%20%D2%88%D2%88%D2%88 It seems to be a problem with utf-8 vs. unicode + Times New Roman. tested on: Chrome 24.0.1312.57 | OS x 10.8.2 Edit: also works with other fonts for example Arial
- eunice 14y agoDoesn't crash Safari on 10.8.2
