Crash on large resize
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: gnome-terminal Severity: normal Version: 2.2.1-1 Synopsis: Crash on large resize Bugzilla-Product: gnome-terminal Bugzilla-Component: general Description: Description of Problem: Gnome terminal crashes if you resize the terminal AFTER connecting to another machine through ssh to a size that spans 2 desktops. It does not break if you resize the terminal to be that large and then connect through ssh however. This is done under Metacity window manager if that helps any on a debian sid system. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open a terminal. Then connect to another machine through ssh. 2. Then resize the terminal to span the entire desktop horizontally. 3. Click on the title bar and drag most of it off the screen to the left. Repeat step 2. During the repeat the terminal will crash. Actual Results: Terminal crashes. Expected Results: Should have a very long terminal. How often does this happen? 100% if you ssh and then resize. 0% if you resize and then ssh. Additional Information: Debian Sid nothing custom installed all debian stuff kernel and all. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2003-04-02 10:55 ------- Reassigning to the default owner of the component, hp@redhat.com.
Thanks for the bug report. Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused the crash. Please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/getting-traces.cgi for more information about getting a useful stack trace.
This is easier said then done because I can't simply run the program inside of gdb because the second a terminal crashes all terminals crash completely even if they were opened by a completely seperate user account. Also it does not leave a core file (and yes I did remember to set the ulimit -c to unlimited). Is there a way to log gdb results to a file or something.
