Description Michael Hoelzen 2005-11-19 09:43:24 UTC 
Distribution/Version: XP Home SP1

gimp crashes without a special error-message or (unfortunately only one time)
with the error-message:
"GLib-ERROR**: gmem.c:174: failed to allocate 256 bytes aborting"
when dragging a layer from a not indexed image to an indexed gif.
simple example given:
open wilber_the_gimp.png, change modus to indexed gif,
open a new RGB image with foreground color, drag it's layer to wilber.
this is new to 2.3.5. it doesn't happen with 2.2.8
(Window$ XP)

Already fixed in CVS:

2005-11-16  Michael Natterer  <mitch@gimp.org>

        * app/core/gimplayer.c (gimp_layer_convert):
        gimp_layer_transform_color() wants the destination image passed,
        not the source image.
Comment 2 Raphaël Quinet 2006-06-21 11:43:22 UTC 
This bug is fixed in CVS and GIMP 2.3.x, but it may also affect GIMP 2.2.x.  I did not try the Windows version, but see my comments (#6 and #9) in bug #345051.  Consider re-opening this bug if someone can confirm that 2.2.11 is affected on Windows.
