Description Klaus-Peter Schrage 2004-03-29 13:06:03 UTC 
I can use both internal help system and web browser (konquerror) with help files
installed from
gimp-help-2-0.2.tar.gz (with locale 'de')
When I use the internal help browser, it crashes without further notice
immediately after clicking on the "next" or "previous" link (in German: "Weiter"
and "Zurück").
The left arrow in the browser's menu bar also causes a crash.
The gimp program itself seems to be unaffected of the crashes.
Comment 1 Sven Neumann 2004-03-29 14:50:26 UTC 
Can you please run gimp in the console and check if there's any debug output?
It's very likely you are seeing the crash reported in bug #136625.
Comment 2 Klaus-Peter Schrage 2004-03-29 16:10:53 UTC 
After starting gimp from console ('gimp-remote-2.0') and firing up the internal
help browser (F1 key or help menu) I get to the initial page
(/usr/share/gimp/2.0/help/de/index.html) without any debugging output.

Clicking the 'next' ('Weiter') link gets me to ch01.html and zillions of lines
in the console saying

(helpbrowser:32403): HtmlCss-WARNING **: Unhandled property: 51 letter-spacing

(helpbrowser:32403): HtmlCss-WARNING **: Unhandled property: 93 text-transform

On clicking 'next' again the help browser vanishes and there is just one more
line in console:

/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/helpbrowser: fatal error: Speicherzugriffsfehler

The Gimp program itself is still running.
Comment 3 Sven Neumann 2004-03-29 16:29:58 UTC 
I can't reproduce this here, neither with the german nor with the english help
pages. The warnings about unhandled properties do appear but those can probably
be safely ignored. What version of libgtkhtml2 are you using?
Comment 4 Klaus-Peter Schrage 2004-03-29 17:34:32 UTC 
[kp@kp kp]$ rpm -q gtkhtml2
gtkhtml2-2.2.0-5
Comment 5 Sven Neumann 2004-03-29 18:01:34 UTC 
That's rather old but since even the latest version of gtkhtml2 still crashes
from time to time, perhaps it's best you use an external web-browser until these
issues  have been fixed.
Comment 6 Klaus-Peter Schrage 2004-03-30 15:46:49 UTC 
I tried to update to a more recent version from fedora testing, but that would
have brought me into a dependency hell on my RH 9 system, so I'll stick to the
web browser which works fine for me.
