Description Ari Pollak 2008-10-02 03:26:20 UTC 
If I open the help browser. GIMP immediately crashes. Here's the backtrace:

Comment 1 Ari Pollak 2008-10-02 03:28:13 UTC 
In case it wasn't obvious, removing gimp-lqr-plugin fixed the problem.
Comment 2 Carl 2008-10-02 06:54:44 UTC 
Removing gimp-lqr-plugin did *not* fix the problem for me. I'm running GIMP v2.6.0 on Windows XP SP2. I'm sorry I don't know how to produce a backtrace. The crash occurs only if I've configured the help browser to "Web browser", which of course I need to do since the Windows build for Gimp apparently does not include the "Gimp help browser".

Fixed in SVN:

	Bug 554646 – Opening Help crashes GIMP with lqr-plugin installed

	* app/widgets/gimphelp.c (gimp_help_get_help_domains): need to
	assign (*foo)[i] and not *foo[i] of a gchar** returned via return
	value location.
