GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 368233
thaw_idle function is not properly locked / unlocked for threads
Last modified: 2014-12-02 01:05:27 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Running a multithreaded application, where one thread is modifiying the GtkHTML widget and the other thread is running thaw_idle from the glib idle loop handler. Stack trace: Other information: I've fixed it by adding a wrapper function like this: thaw_idle2 () { GDK_THREADS_ENTER (); thaw_idle (); GDK_THREADS_LEAVE (); } and replacing the function that is called throught gtk_idle_add: gtk_idle_add (thaw_idle2); Regards

Bumping version to a stable release.
This ticket has not seen any updates or duplicates since 2010. Is this still a problem in a recently released version? If not, this ticket might get closed as obsolete. (Furthermore, GtkHtml is slowly getting superseded by WebKit in Evolution.)
Since version 3.6, Evolution uses WebKit instead of GtkHtml for displaying messages. (And for completeness, Evolution 3.14 is planned to use WebKit also for composing and editing messages so GtkHtml will not receive any fixes anymore.) Hence I am closing this GtkHtml rendering bug report. We are sorry that your request was not handled in time when it was reported but unfortunately manpower is very limited (and does not allow testing every single reported issue separately again either). Please feel free to reopen this report (and move it to the "Evolution" product and the "Mail" component) if the problem described in this bug report still happens in a recent supported Evolution version which uses WebKit (the current stable Evolution version is 3.12).
