GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 704658
Backspacing on the keyboard shortcuts dialog seems to hang Gimp
Last modified: 2013-10-04 11:48:18 UTC
- Open the keyboard shortcuts dialog - Type in something > 3 characters long - backspace all the way It takes a very long time, close to 30 seconds, to backspace till the last character and type again.
I can type dozens of characters and backspace them away, each key stroke takes about a fraction of a second to filter the action tree. I have no idea what's going on there, can anyone reproduce this?
We know virtually nothing about srihari's system, only that it seem to be some sort of Linux if the OS field is set correctly...
Created attachment 250254 [details] Screenshot of Gimp Hanging when trying to backspace in the Keyboard Shortcuts Dialog I try to backspace something I entered. It stops backspacing when 2 characters are left and then Hangs GIMP 2.8.6.
You should report this to your distro's bugtracker - they can continue it here if they can determine that this is a bug in GIMP and not distro-specific.
This happens even in the gimp I built from source, on the master branch. Here is some system information: head -n1 /etc/issue: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l uname -a: Linux srihari-laptop 3.2.0-51-generic-pae #77-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 24 20:40:32 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Not sure if this is useful, but when the keyboard shortcut dialog hangs, I see this on my terminal: (gimp-2.9:25194): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_path_compare: assertion 'b->depth > 0' failed (gimp-2.9:25194): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_path_compare: assertion 'b->depth > 0' failed (gimp-2.9:25194): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_path_compare: assertion 'b->depth > 0' failed (gimp-2.9:25194): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_path_compare: assertion 'b->depth > 0' failed (gimp-2.9:25194): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_path_compare: assertion 'b->depth > 0' failed (gimp-2.9:25194): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_tree_path_compare: assertion 'b->depth > 0' failed
Smells like Unbuntu GTK+ destruction to me. For completeness, please paste the output of "gimp --version --verbose", and please report this to the ubuntu bug tracker anyway.

Will report to ubuntu bug tracker.

That bug suggests that it might be specific to Ubuntu 12.04.
Most likely caused by some patch in Ubuntu 12.04's GTK+, let's close it as NOTGNOME.
