GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 128645
Nautilus crashes when closing windows
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
This is a recent CVS build using jhbuild. Nautilus reports its version as 2.5.2. If I open several windows and then start closing them, Nautilus often crashes. Sometimes it's after I close all of the windows, other times as soon as I start to close them, and still other times it does not crash. I've crashed it about a dozen times in the past few minutes, though, and the stack traces all look the same. I will attach a few stack traces after opening the bug.
Created attachment 22144 [details] Crasher stack trace #1
Created attachment 22145 [details] Crasher stack trace #2
This looks somewhat similar to bug #128424, except that in that bug the function g_type_check_instance_is_a is apparently reached. I also have another stack trace that is similar to these two but makes it to g_type_check_instance_is_a that I will attach to bug #128424. Both sets of crashes occurred under similar circumstances and may be related.
They are the same imo since the line numbers are identical, marking as a dup. Thanks for pointing that other bug out :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 128424 ***
The only difference I noticed that caused me to open another bug was that in these stack traces, the event variable passed to gdk_event_translate is NULL whereas it is non-NULL in bug #128424. It seems to me that a NULL event would cause a crash at this line: event->any.window = NULL; in gdkevents-x11.c:796. But, the stack trace indicates that it crashes at 822. I have no idea how it could dereference a NULL event at the above line and not crash...
