Comment 1 Rich Burridge 2006-05-28 14:31:29 UTC

Gcalctool crashed in arithmetic operator precedence
mode, so transferring to Sami for further investigation.

Brent, it would be helpful if you could tell us what
version of gcalctool this is (Help->About from the menu bar).

It would also be useful to know that you were trying to do,
i.e. the calculation you were trying to make of the gcalctool
operation you were trying to do. It looks like you were trying
to change modes, but it would be helpful to know what was in the
display.

Thanks.

Comment 2 Brent Smith (smitten) 2006-05-28 14:38:54 UTC

Rich, 

   The version is 5.8.14, compiled from CVS HEAD yesterday.  To reproduce simply open gcalctool and switch to scientific mode.

This may be a GTK+ bug, I think I'm seeing a lot of issues with 2.9.2.

Comment 3 Rich Burridge 2006-05-28 15:25:30 UTC

Thanks Brent. I'm not seeing the problem here (GNOME 2.14
and gcalctool CVS HEAD), but I'm not using Gtk+ v2.9.2.

Comment 4 Sami Pietilä 2006-05-28 22:21:59 UTC

I am able to reproduce the problem with gcalctool CVS HEAD and GTK 2.8.6. The cause is still unknown. Perhaps something went wrong when I added undo/redo menu entries.

Comment 5 Daniel Macks 2006-06-01 02:09:53 UTC

Reproducible with gcalctool-5.8.13 and gtk+-2.6.10 on OS X 10.3 when changing View to any Basic/Advanced/Financial that is not currently selected. I can give a core dump if you want it.

Comment 6 Sami Pietilä 2006-06-01 18:26:01 UTC

Created attachment 66614 [details] [review]
The Fix.

Whoops. =)

This is the fix to the crash problem.

Comment 7 Rich Burridge 2006-06-01 19:12:25 UTC

Thanks Sami. Change checked into CVS HEAD. I'm also bumped
the version number in configure.in to 5.8.15.

Comment 8 Daniel Macks 2006-06-01 20:37:22 UTC

Confirming that Sami's patch fixes 5.8.13 for me.
