GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 596308
Crash in validate_visible_area
Last modified: 2018-02-10 03:21:57 UTC
As requested on bug #546834, here is a separated bug for this crash: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=trace.html&trace_id=217799 See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=546834#c10 for a valgrind log. I have this crash with GTK+ 2.18.0-1ubuntu1 using Collabora's gtimelog: http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=gtimelog.git;a=summary When I start to write a entry, gtimelog displays a treeview (I guess) containing previous similar entries. And since yesterday, gtimelog always crashes at this stage. I workarounded this crash by creating a new .gtimelog directory; so I guess there is something in my old directory leading to the crash. Unfortunately I can't send you my old .gtimelog as it contains sensible data. I will try to dig a bit and see which data could be the cause of this crash.
Thanks for taking the time to open this bug. As far as I understood, the tree view is filled with the contents from ~/.gtimelog/tasks.txt. I also understand that this might contain sensitive data. The data is not of importance at all, but the structure of the tree is. If you take your old ~/.gtimelog/tasks.txt and replace all words with "garbage letters" but keep all ":" intact (these create parent nodes and thus the trees structure), can you then still reproduce the crash?

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are closing bugs that haven't seen activity in more than 5 years. If this issue is still imporant to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please consider creating a gitlab issue for it.
