Confirmed for the following scenarion: - open the HTML browser reference - select the reference title "HTML Reference" - press the button with the green arrow bluefish crashes. It does not crash, if one of the subtitles or an HTML element is selected. A backtrace will follow.
Created attachment 70184 [details] [review] Patch to Fix Problem with Green Info Dialog Button This patch fixes the problem for me in 1.0.4. The bug does not appear to exist in latest CVS HEAD.
Have you raised this in Launchpad? If not, please do so and link to this bug. Thanks, Dave
Hi Dave, Thanks for the patch, I will try it. I'll also enter it in Launchpad and link that to this page. Bjorn T. Jonsson
Tried to enter the bug in Launchpad, but it said: "Bluefish does not use Malone as its bug tracker. To report a bug about Bluefish, please use its official bug tracker." Going to its home page on http://bluefish.openoffice.nl/index.html and there mousing over the other bugs on the front page, the links show that Bluefish uses this site for bug tracking now. Bjorn T. Jonsson PS: Sorry if I misunderstood your request. I'm new to both Bluefish, Launchpad and this site.
Hi Bjorn, Sorry about that. Didn't realise it did not use Launchpad. Some Ubuntu packages use Launchpad and then track upstream. Cheers, Dave
Bluefish at launchpad.net: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/bluefish/+bugs and yes, it is possible to track upstream (already tested for Bluefish).
Hi Daniel, Thanks for the link. This is somewhat confusing. There are (at least) two Bluefish projects on Launchpad and I initially tried to post the bug in the first one I found... I've entered a bug report in the correct project now and posted a link to here on this page: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/bluefish/+bug/55256 Regards, Bjorn T. Jonsson
Fixed in the 1.0.x branch of CVS. Also discovered and fixed another memory leak/data corruption issue.
