Standard "Smokey" theme causes same problem. I tried to attach my .liferea (as liferea.zip), but the freebsd mail filter blocked it. I thought it might be the cache, but I deleted that and next'd through everything then hopped around a little and it crashed. I can crash it in less than a minute clicking the next button and all around on the panels and categories. Usually I have to delete the window first and hit the tray icon to bring it back. The only other thing that might be related is that I have an SMP machine (amd64 athlon 2x). This could be a threading issue with memory freed too soon. As Marcus stated, it looks like memory corruption. So this might fit.

Here is a very reproducible method:

  1. Start lieferea
  2. Click on the next button
  3. Click on the top news category
  4. move the mouse pointer up off of the news category towards the next button.

Crash.
