crash while copying and pasting
Last modified: 2006-01-08 15:09:56 UTC
Distribution: Debian 3.1 Package: Gnumeric Severity: normal Version: 1.4.x Synopsis: crash while copying and pasting Bugzilla-Product: Gnumeric Bugzilla-Component: Main System Bugzilla-Version: 1.4.x BugBuddy-GnomeVersion: 2.0 (2.8.1) Description: Description of the crash: Gnumeric crashed while I was copying a block of cells across two different files (from a gnumeric native format file to an Excel file). Steps to reproduce the crash: 1. open an Excel file 2. click on Data->Get External Data->Import Text File... 3. select a text file with configurable format: a new worksheet (on a separate window) opens up 4. select a block of cells in the newly created gnumeric worksheet and copy it to the clipboard 5. select one cell in the Excel file and paste 6. crash! Expected Results: Copied cells should have been pasted to the Excel file... How often does this happen? Sometimes (not always, unfortunately or fortunately, depending on the point of view!)

I cannot reproduce this bug with HEAD.
Sounds like the old gtk issue of only sending over part of the buffer then libxml would crash on the incomplete segment. We never managed to reproduce it consistently to catch the cause. It seems better with gtk-2.8 but I have no concrete proof. I'll punt it for now and we can re-open if it happens with gtk-2.8
