Hi,

I have a Radeon HD7770 with an abit pro motherboard, running Fedora 20.

xorg-x11-server reports version 1.14.4-6.fc20.

I have a repeatable complete system crash (screen goes blank, numlock
un-responsive etc), in some conditions when a drop down is selected in certain
programs.

Under XFCE4, if I load gimp and select export, a drop down list appears. If I
click on this, everything freezes, screen goes blank, and system crashes.

I get the same now with inkscape, and some graphical export functions under
freecad.

Given that both these programs have graphics functions , I kind of got the
feeling that it may be related to the graphics driver. I can't think of any way
of proving this however.

Oddly the same happens in audacity when click the drop-down bar to change
audio, not obviously this is not a graphical application. But again the crash
is occurring on a drop down box.

This used to happen in eclipse under KDE... actually when I expanded a tree
view in the debug window. But then I switched to XFCE4 so not sure if that
issue is still present. 

Sorry if this does not belong here. Please let me know if there is anything
else I can do or try to help with the debug.


Thanks,



Martin.
