Description sidhartha 2004-01-13 14:08:29 UTC

I am running gnome2.5.2 as build on 07/01/2004 on Red Hat Linux 9

The crash is not occuring always but can be reproduced on trying few times.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open 'Run Application'
Action-->Run Application
2. Type 'gnome-calculator' and select the option 'Run on terminal'
Calculator application and a gnome-terminal will come up.
3. Focus on gnome-terminal and press 'Shift + Alt + T' to open few tabs.
4. Run various applications from different Tabs for e.g. ghex2, eog, ggv 
etc from different tabs.
5. Close the original application gnome-calculator.

Comment 1 alexander.winston 2004-01-14 02:13:08 UTC

Upgrading the priority to high and adding the STACKTRACE keyword.

Comment 2 Matthew Gatto 2004-01-14 02:28:20 UTC

probably a dup of bug 122824.

Comment 3 Mariano Suárez-Alvarez 2004-01-22 22:26:52 UTC

I can reproduce this with a11y turned on; without it it's not there.

Comment 6 kir 2004-01-29 16:23:28 UTC

Seems that I am experiencing this nasty bug too. Couldn't show you
backtrace at the moment (because I can not reproduce it now...will
try), but this is how I got it (it happened two times today):

Open multiple tabs in gnome-terminal. Run mc in some of it. Move some
files from one to the other mc panels using F6. Suddenly window title
text shows something strange (looks like unicode text in non-unicode
locale), window title shows the same strange text, and gnome-terminal
crashes.

Note my locale settings:
$ set | egrep 'LC_|LANG'
LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R
LC_COLLATE=ru_RU.KOI8-R
LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.KOI8-R

It seems to me like a problem with terminal title string overflow or
corruption. Hope this will help...and I'll try to get a
coredump/backtrace.

Comment 7 Luis Villa 2004-02-05 20:29:26 UTC

Mariano: given that the crash looks like it is gail, and it only
happens with a11y turned on, is this a gail bug?
