VI Crashed gnome-terminal while gnopernicus running
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
While gnopernicus running with speech enabled, bring up gnome-terminal, "vi" a file (i.e. vi log.txt), gnome-term crashed with Error below : Error occured in Dialog Box: The Application "gnome-terminal" has quit unexpectedly. You can inform the developers of what happened to help them fix it. Or you can restart the application right now. <Restart Application> <Close> <Inform Developers> Steps: 1. Bring up gnopernicus 2. enable speech 3. Listen for speech 4. bring up gnome-terminal 5. vi a file (i.e. vi log.txt) Once should see the crash by now ... If gnopernicus is not running, "vi" works fine with gnome-terminal. Setups: Fedora Core 2 gnopernicus : 0.9.10 gnome desktop : 2.7.9
I am not able to reproduce this crash. "vi" works fine with gnome-terminal and gnopernicus outputs the current line content. Since this is a gnome-terminal crash and not a gnopernicus one, I will send this bug to gnome-terminal for further investigations.
Do you have a stack trace from the crashing process?
Dana - "vi" works fine WHEN gnopernicus (with enabled speech) IS NOT Running ... But While gnopernicus is up and running, "vi" crashed. So this has something to do with gnopernicus being on and off ? Padraig - I will try to get you a trace cuz when it crashed it closed existing gnome-terminal and all other gnome-terminal applications within 1 to 2 secs. That leaves no time to copy and paste anything. Unless you have a clever way of capture this trace, please let me know. Please be specific with your steps.
If the crashing program drops a core file you can get the stack trace from the core file. Otherwise run gnome-terminal in gdb from a xterm.
Here is another trace ...
+ Trace 50204
Without knowing what function is being called from poll it is difficult to help.
This problem is still occurred in : gnopernicus : 0.9.12 Gnome Desktop : 2.8 Steps to reproduce 1. Bring up gnopernicus 2. enable speech 3. Listen for speech 4. bring up gnome-terminal 5. vi a file (i.e. vi log.txt) 6. try to type something inside the file At this point crash should exist for gnome-terminal ... Without running gnopernicus, vi works fine.
Marking as AP1 to reflect accessibility impact.

Does the patch in bug #153405 help?
This problem is still occurred in : gnopernicus : 0.9.16
I am closing this as I do not see the crash and a meaningful stack trace has not been provided.
