GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 125012
Crash when inputing Japanese text
Last modified: 2003-10-24 08:20:36 UTC
Each time I try to enter Japanese text (using the text tool), the Japanese text is correctly previewed in the image window while I'm editing the text but as soon as I click "close" button Gimp crashes: (script-fu:11497): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: wire_read(): error Segmentation fault My environement is French UTF-8, I input Japanese using im-ja (Gtk+2' input method).
I can't see how simply hitting "Close" could crash the GIMP. We simply destroy the text editor window on "Close" and don't change anything in the image. Does the crash also occur with other text input fields using that im-ja module? Look very much like a bug in that module to me. Can you run GIMP in a debugger and attach the stack trace of the crash to this bug report please?
You were right, I upgraded im-ja and it works now. The bug was in im-ja so it should be closed now.
