Comment 1 André Klapper 2011-03-03 12:06:00 UTC

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so and reopen this bug or report a new one. Thanks in advance!

Comment 2 Fabrizio Antonangeli 2011-03-03 16:50:54 UTC

Is this useful? ;-)
Thanks you.

Comment 3 Derek Atkins 2011-03-03 17:04:20 UTC

This looks like a bug in GTK.  What version of GTK are you using?

Comment 4 Fabrizio Antonangeli 2011-03-03 17:07:28 UTC

2.22.1

Comment 5 Geert Janssens 2011-03-03 22:03:47 UTC

Might be a duplicate of bug 638792 or at least related.

Comment 6 Fabrizio Antonangeli 2011-04-13 13:40:42 UTC

Apppears also with gnucash 2.4.5

(In reply to comment #5)

On the other hand the stack trace is completely different, so it's probably a different bug as well.

@Fabrizio: Any chance you can try with a different version of gtk and check whether the bug goes away?

Comment 8 Fabrizio Antonangeli 2011-04-18 12:15:50 UTC

Christian: What version of gtk you need?

Comment 9 Christian Stimming 2011-04-18 12:39:59 UTC

Just any different gtk version. Either 2.20.x, or 2.24.x. The stack trace shows it appears very deeply inside the GtkEntry code, so our guess is that a major other version will have this fixed already.

Comment 10 Fabrizio Antonangeli 2011-04-18 14:18:20 UTC

Sorry but the dependencies block me the downgrade to gtk 2.20.

Comment 11 Fabrizio Antonangeli 2011-05-06 08:13:13 UTC

With:
gtk2 2.24.4
gtk3 3.0.9
gnucash 2.4.5

Comment 12 Christian Stimming 2011-05-07 16:21:17 UTC

Ok, unfortunately the same crash and stack trace even in gtk 2.24. I'm still confused how this crash inside the gtk code can be caused by gnucash code. Maybe some dangling pointer that is accessed from the strncmp() in gtk_entry_completion_default_completion_func() ?

Comment 13 Fabrizio Antonangeli 2011-05-31 07:46:05 UTC

Appears also with:
gtk2 2.24.4
gtk3 3.0.10
gnucash 2.4.6

Comment 14 Fabrizio Antonangeli 2011-06-03 10:19:40 UTC

Hi,
Appears also if I open gnucash with a user that have no gnucash data:
appears the welcome message and if I choose the first or the second option, gnucash crashes with the same stacktrace. :-(

Comment 15 Geert Janssens 2011-06-11 14:11:38 UTC

Hmm, the stack trace is very similar to the one in bug 628710. Could this be a utf-8 related problem ?

Fabrizio: what locale are you using ? Could you try and reproduce the crash after you start gnucash in a UTF-8 equivalent of your locale, like described in bug 628710 comment 7 ?

Comment 16 Fabrizio Antonangeli 2011-06-11 15:54:40 UTC

Everything OK if I run:
env LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF-8 gnucash

I was using it_IT@euro.

Comment 17 Geert Janssens 2011-06-11 16:14:45 UTC

Thank you, this confirms this bug to be a duplicate of bug 628710.

Reassign version to 2.4.x so that individual 2.4 versions can be retired.
