Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

This happens on every start. I think you should sanitize the string before considering it a key.

This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #722403. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 3.6.8-0ubuntu1
