Comment 1 Mantas Kriaučiūnas 2003-07-14 22:39:01 UTC

I can confirm this bug - GNOME Clipboard Manager *always* crashes if I
press "Edit" button :(

I'm using gcm 2.0.4 on Debian 3.0 (Woody).

Btw, maybe gcm can have "autosave" option ? I noticed, that gcm
atomatically saves all clipboad history when I logout of Gnome and
automatically restores when I login again. It would be nice if there
would be an option in preferences "autosave when new clipboard item is
added". Then crashes would not so irritating...

Comment 2 Mantas Kriaučiūnas 2003-07-14 22:50:18 UTC

Also I think Severity of this bug should be set at least to major and
priority should be at least High.

Dag, it would be nice if you increase severity and priority.

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately, that stack trace is not very useful in
determining the cause of the crash. Please make sure that the package was
compiled with debugging symbols and see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more information about useful
stack traces.

Comment 7 Kjartan Maraas 2005-05-16 11:44:56 UTC

Is there a point in having this report open still? I seem to remember the
maintainer discontinuing work on gcm because there were larger issues that
needed to be addressed wrt clipboard handling on the whole?

Comment 8 Philip Van Hoof 2005-05-16 14:21:15 UTC

For me (former maintainer) there's no point. I wouldn't object to closing this bug

Comment 9 André Klapper 2018-07-12 00:04:57 UTC

gcm is not under active development anymore. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gcm/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
