GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 435442
Terminal freezes when a tab closes while a popup menu is open
Last modified: 2007-07-10 08:02:08 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Run a command in a tab that quits after a few seconds and closes the tab automatically 2. Open a menu item (e.g. File) 3. Wait until the tab opened in 1. closes. The terminal should be frozen now. The whole desktop is also unusable now. The desktop will be usable again after gnome-terminal is killed from the console or a remote login. Stack trace:
+ Trace 132065
Other information:
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so and reopen this bug or report a new one. Thanks in advance!
Hi, here comes a new stack trace showing all threads.
+ Trace 142964
unfortunately that trace still misses a lot of calls (the "??" ones should not appear). which distribution is this? can you come up with a testcase?
Sorry, that there are still symbols missing. I thought these were Kernel symbols. In fact I don't know how to enable more symbols on my Linux from scratch "distribution". But I can try to describe more detailed how to reproduce the bug. 1. Create a new profile "sleep". On "Title and Command" set the checkbox "Run a custom command instead of my shell" and set "When command exits" to "Exit the terminal". 2. In the main menu activate "File" -- "Open tab" -- "sleep" 3. Again open the the menu item "File", place the cursor over "Open tab" and wait until the sleep command terminates. 4. Desktop should be frozen now.
