Description Akkana Peck 2010-03-09 05:26:54 UTC

Open a jpg. Activate text tool. Click in the image and type some text.

In the toolbox, click on the font button (default here is Sans) and choose Sans Bold Italic instead. GIMP crashes.

The stack trace isn't very helpful, unfortunately. Let me know if you can't reproduce it and need me to install gtk debug libraries.

OS is Ubuntu Karmic, gimp tree was updated this morning (maybe 1900UT 8 Mar).

Actually you don't have to be in an image -- just activate the text tool with no image active and choose any font.

Comment 2 Sven Neumann 2010-03-09 07:59:56 UTC

There is absolutely no drawback in having debug symbols installed for glib and gtk+ except a few megabytes of disk-space. So if you want to use GIMP from git and report bugs against it, then please make sure you have debug symbols installed for glib and gtk+.

Comment 3 Michael Natterer 2010-03-09 08:06:46 UTC

I can't reproduce that. What are the GTK+ and GLib versions?

Comment 4 Akkana Peck 2010-03-09 16:44:38 UTC

With an update from this morning, and debug libraries, the crash no longer happens. Don't know which of those fixed it; maybe I pulled at the wrong time yesterday. Closing.
