Tab drag and drop in fx Aurora/Nightly causes [e10s][GTK+ 3.20] crash

I'm not really sure where the problem lies, so I'll post here for now.

Recently, when using firefox Aurora or Nightly, dragging and dropping tabs causes the browser to crash:

(firefox:29000): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_peek_children: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed
ExceptionHandler::GenerateDump cloned child 29343
ExceptionHandler::SendContinueSignalToChild sent continue signal to child
ExceptionHandler::WaitForContinueSignal waiting for continue signal...

That's wrong. I'm using Heftig's Version. It has the same bug.

Known bug.

Mozilla is looking for a workaround, like disabling e10s for distributions using gtk 3.20.x.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1264454

And also, themes are busted for checkboxes : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1262136

Hope it helps.

More than 100 crashes are reported about this drag and drop issue : https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/ … 400x393263

Strange, this version of fx dev works fine here, whereas the Mozilla versions crash instantly on tab dragging...
