GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 658939
(gnome-shell:2331): St-WARNING **: StTable: row-span exceeds number of rows
Last modified: 2015-03-17 15:20:46 UTC
I have 322 of these messages in my .xsession-errors. Unsure what the cause is. gnome-shell-3.1.90.1-2.fc16.x86_64
It was introduced with the new notification layout patch that added an image to notifications: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=aabe56ba7972655c8517750d426a2bebc01891d6 The warning happens because of some bugginess in the st-table code and is generally harmless. I'll try to look into it more later.
Created attachment 196867 [details] [review] StTable: Silence row_span warning for now This seems to be very noisy and generally harmless so silence it up for now.
Comment on attachment 196867 [details] [review] StTable: Silence row_span warning for now ok, but leave the bug open

Drago, is this still relevant? It's been over a year and I'm not sure keeping this bug report open will help in the long run.
Reopening as I can't see any open non developer question.
Hi Tobias, fixes for this were pushed in the comments above and the issue doesn't occur on my end. I don't see why gnome-shell folks would need to keep bug reports like these open...
indeed, lets close it.
(In reply to comment #7) > I don't see why gnome-shell folks would need to keep > bug reports like these open... Because the patch simply silences the warning rather than fixes the bug that causes the warning. It's debatable whether we should fix it now or just leave it silenced, but keeping the bug open lets us have that option.
Since bug 746343, StTable isn't used anymore. Bug 703833 has a patch to remove it altogether which I'll land after branching, so whatever triggered the warning doesn't matter anymore.
