Description Paul Bolle 2009-03-10 15:10:21 UTC

0) evolution hit an assert in gtklayout.c (as far as I recall when resizing evolution's main window):

Gtk:ERROR:gtklayout.c:394:gtk_layout_move_internal: assertion failed: (child)
Aborted (core dumped)

1) versions (current Fedora rawhide):

$ rpm -q evolution
evolution-2.25.92-1.fc11.i586
$ rpm -q gtkhtml3
gtkhtml3-3.25.92-1.fc11.i586
$ rpm -q gtk2
gtk2-2.15.5-1.fc11.i586

2) quick analysis:

problem seems to be that gtk_layout_move_internal() doesn't handle a NULL return form get_child() gracefully, maybe (in this case) because gtk_layout_move() has already checked whether *child_widget really is a child of *layout before calling gtk_layout_move_internal() .

Maybe a race condition?

3) relevant code

Comment 2 Akhil Laddha 2009-04-24 07:00:15 UTC

I got similar crash in gnome-2.26 while trying to search in Evolution 2.26.1.

gtk2-2.16.1-1.1
gtk2-debuginfo-2.16.1-1.1

Comment 3 Timothy Arceri 2013-10-18 03:50:21 UTC

gtkhtml is currently being replaced with webkit so no point in looking into the this bug. If you have a more recent example on how to reproduce feel free to reopen. Making as obsolete.
