GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 159720
GIMP crashes when flattening text layer to background
Last modified: 2005-01-22 09:30:40 UTC
1) create text layer 2) select text layer in Layers dialog 3) press button to move text layer down to background layer error dialog: **WARNING (recursed)**. Couldn't load font 'MS Sans Serif 8' falling back to "Sans 8" aborting... GIMP then crashes.
Sorry, but that is not a crash. It's the annoying popup dialog that you must not close. See also http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/faq.html that describes a workaround. This problem has been taken care of in later versions of GTK+. Closing as FIXED.
In this case, it was a crash caused by GLib aborting. This is the same fatal "recursed" error from Pango as described in bug #163740 and others such as bug #112401. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 112401 ***
