Flashblock Crash
I just encountered a problem when toggling Flashblock on and off. 100% reproducible. I didn't file a bug on it because, after looking at the crash report I am not sure exactly what is triggering it. Here's the deal:
** Make sure Flashblock is off before repeating the following steps ***
[0] Go to the following site: http://www.repetitive-strain.com/ (note flash animation)
[1] Click on any other bookmark you have/go to any other site
[2] Tick "Block Flash animations" on in Web Features
Crash
Pastebin entry Here
Thread 0 crash info is identical every time.

Re: Flashblock Crash
Confirmed, although I had to try twice before getting a crash.
It seems specific to that particular site. I tried a few other sites with a flash animation (including the Adobe test page), and all worked correctly.

Re: Flashblock Crash
So you're disabling Flashblock while in the process of leaving a page with Flash on it?

Re: Flashblock Crash
You don't have to be "in the process of leaving". You can continue surfing in that tab, open and close and surf in other tabs, make a sandwich, etc. -- as long as the tab that had 8-bit's test page open still exists, even if it's not the active tab, Camino will crash when you open Prefs and check the "block flash" box.
Edit: I just tested with a clean profile, opened the test page in a new window and then surfed elsewhere in that window -- again, as long as that window is still open (doesn't have to be frontmost), Camino crashes after changing the pref.

Re: Flashblock Crash
Do you need any more crash reports attached to the bug? (I have 5...)

Unless they are different from my crashlogs, I don't think it is needed.

Re: Flashblock Crash
Thanks to some stellar regression-hunting from phiw13, I think we have a handle on what checkin caused the crash, so at the moment I don't think we need any additional data.

Thanks everyone for bug filing, further explanation etc... I couldn't get back to the forums yesterday to further clarify after my initial post. So, the final word is that it is fixed in the latest nightly?

Yes, nice find, 8-bit. This is what, Flashblock-related bug #2 or 3 for you now?

@ 8-bit,
Just curious, how do you find that sort of little problems ?

Honestly? - dumb luck. I suppose some of it is my surfing habits. I tend to toggle things on and off quite frequently. Mostly JS, but other times I switch things up depending on what sites I am going to. This particular one was total luck of the draw. I suppose toggling things makes Camino "experience" sites in different ways....
