Crash with CapsLock key
Last modified: 2016-04-30 17:47:59 UTC
Steps # Painbrush to make strokes using Shift + Ctrl to do vertical/horizontal lines. # I pressed by mistake CapsLock key ang GIMP crash. Terminal message: (gimp-2.9:7108): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion 'instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed (gimp-2.9:7108): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion 'instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed ./gimp-2.9: fatal error: Segmentation fault ./gimp-2.9 (pid:7108): [E]xit, [H]alt, show [S]tack trace or [P]roceed: s My box environment is: DE: Gnome 3.10 Distro: Ubuntu Gnome 14.04.2 Notes: this crash was happening also with previous masters, but only now I have decided to open gimp via terminal to watch the messages. The behaviour seems random but has relation with the keyboard, one of keys of the left-side (Ctrl, Shift or CapsLock).

GIMP Crashing when I use CapsLock key, terminal output: (gimp-2.9:20617): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion 'instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed (gimp-2.9:20617): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_type_instance_get_private: assertion 'instance != NULL && instance->g_class != NULL' failed ./gimp-2.9: fatal error: Segmentation fault ./gimp-2.9 (pid:20617): [E]xit, [H]alt, show [S]tack trace or [P]roceed: E My DE is GNOME 3.10 Ubuntu Gnome 14.04.2 GIMP 2.9 Git Master commit 3d86a6c
Any reason why you broke the duplication? You seem to have addressed it in the gtk+ bug report as well.
Sorry, I have understood that my bug was a duplicate... but the original bug was closed and fixed. But now in my box with the last commit of GIMP 2.9 git master is happening again the crash when I hit on capslock... but the condition is a bit random. What I need to do? Open another bug report?
You need the latest GTK+ 2.24.x, maybe even from git. I don't know if there is a release with the fix. Nothing can be done in GIMP to fix this, so a GIMP update can't change anything. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 648419 ***
