GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 309505
gnome-terminal keeps crashing when using Ctrl-D with GTK 2.7.1
Last modified: 2011-02-04 16:18:46 UTC
since I've updated to GTK 2.7.1, gnome-terminal crashes often when doing "Ctrl-D": Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/gnome-terminal' (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/i686/cmov/libthread_db.so.1". (no debugging symbols found) `system-supplied DSO at 0xffffe000' has disappeared; keeping its symbols.

I can't reproduce this one. Maybe it was fixed by 2005-07-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com> * gtk/gtkmenu.c (gtk_menu_grab_notify): Take window groups into account. (#309473, Diego Gonzalez) * gtk/gtkwindow.[hc]: Add a non-exported function to get the grab widget of a window group. Do you still see it ?
I've updated to the current version (the ChangeLog has the pointed entry) this morning and the bug is still here ...
I think the main reason for this was a bug in vte, which did not unset the user data on its gdk window when destroying it. Please test.
it's fixed with the vte patch, thanks
I've tried this patch (which I found over on fedora's bugzilla for a ff/tb/moz problem of instability while clicking buttons in dialogues and it appears to work. I posted it on a bug I'd reported https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=163692 and the instability during button clicks (an identical stack trace to yours) appears to be gone (so far.. ) -- My question as a gnome bugzilla neophyte is: Where on gnome (or gnome/vte) is this patch posted? If it works, I'd like to correctly attribute it to someone/somewhere. I searched vte but didn't see it there. Thanks very much.
