GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 436916
Crash when creating a new stock account
Last modified: 2018-06-29 21:36:14 UTC
What were you doing when the application crashed? Hi Gnucash developers, This is a followup on 436763 after installing gnucash-debuginfo (for fc7, even though I'm running fc6). Here are the steps to reproduce: Start Gnucash. Under the assets tab, select an account under which to create a new account. Click "New" on the top bar Fill in the "Account name", indicate Account type to be "stock", click Security/currency "Select" botton. In the new popup, choose Type "NYSE", click "New". In a third popup, enter the Name and Symbol/abbreviation, check "Get online quotes" (Yahoo is already entered and set up for other stocks, as is "Use local time"), click OK to close the third opoup. Click OK to close the second popup. Click OK to close the first popup. Gnucash crashes.

Thanks for the update and the precise instructions on how to reproduce. (Can someone check with 2.1.x or SVN version?) Unfortunately the gnucash-debuginfo package didn't really help here. In general, the debuginfo packages must match exactly the package version of the original package, otherwise it is almost surely worthless. In this case, you can see the lines
+ Trace 133218
and if the gnucash-debuginfo package were the correct one, you would be given a file name and line number here (gnc-main-window.c:123) instead of only the function name. Whatever. The reproduction information might already be sufficient for us to identify the issue. Thanks.
Oh, and overall this is probably just yet another duplicate of bug#366468, which already has an explanation of what's happening here...
