GIMP 2.2.8 Crash (failed assertion)
Last modified: 2008-01-15 13:00:23 UTC
Version details: i586 build Distribution/Version: XP Pro SP2 Note that although these are the steps that were originally taken, I have been unable to reproduce the error by following them again. Steps: 1) Create a new image (640x480). 2) Add some text to the image. 3) Resize the canvas to 64x64 (do not change the offset; do not change layer size). 4) The text should now be outside the canvas. When trying to move it I grabbed the layer instead. Moving this around generated the following dialogue followed by a crash: Gimp-Core-ERROR **:file gimpimage-preview.c: line 281 (gimp_image_get_new_preview): assertion failed: (layer_buf) aborting... Is a log file generated? Could not find one. I have a screen dump of the dialogue saved though. Was running: VC++6; Winamp; Virtual Dimension; Lotus Notes 6.5; Firefox 1.06 as well as the program I was working on. All up uses reasonable amount of memory, but there was still 100+MB physical RAM free at the time.
This is already fixed in CVS, the fix will be in GIMP 2.2.9 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 312144 ***
