This bug was reported in the fedora bug tracker, and i just hit it also. I seem to be able to sporadically re-create this issue when removing applications in the "installed" tab. See the bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1013227 for all the further info supplied by ABRT. Version-Release number of selected component: gnome-software-3.10.0-1.fc20 Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.7 backtrace_rating: 4 cmdline: gnome-software crash_function: _g_log_abort executable: /usr/bin/gnome-software kernel: 3.11.1-300.fc20.x86_64 runlevel: N 5 type: CCpp uid: 1000 Truncated backtrace: Thread no. 1 (10 frames) #2 _g_log_abort at gmessages.c:255 #5 pango_layout_check_lines at pango-layout.c:3868 #6 pango_layout_get_extents_internal at pango-layout.c:2539 #7 pango_layout_get_extents at pango-layout.c:2734 #8 gtk_label_get_measuring_layout at gtklabel.c:3251 #9 gtk_label_get_preferred_layout_size at gtklabel.c:3577 #10 gtk_label_get_preferred_size at gtklabel.c:3641 #11 gtk_widget_query_size_for_orientation at gtksizerequest.c:180 #12 gtk_widget_compute_size_for_orientation at gtksizerequest.c:390 #13 gtk_widget_get_preferred_width at gtksizerequest.c:490
I would suspect something going wrong with the 'animated removal' code
I think I've fixed this now: commit 203afb940089e5c5f8c1767e7e5107b671d464dc Author: Richard Hughes <richard@hughsie.com> Date: Wed Oct 9 10:11:07 2013 +0100 Do not remove the application widget twice when it changes state Hopefully resolves: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709355 :100644 100644 5ccda24... 6dbb820... M src/gs-shell-installed.c
There were multiple reports in the downstream bug that the bug is not fixed (and abrt submissions from versions that contain the change). So it may be the case that this needs to be re-opened :/ See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1013227#c14 and onwards.
