Description Nivaldo Henrique Bondança 2011-09-23 20:50:02 UTC

Entry on help (F1), then on the search bar type something and press <enter>, this will close the help.

But you have to hit <enter>, if you click on some of the suggestion, it will go smoothly.

I just pulled from the repository, and I use the Ubuntu 11.04.

Comment 1 Fabio Durán Verdugo 2011-09-23 23:55:01 UTC

this is a crash
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
Without a stack trace from the crash it's very hard to determine what caused it.
Can you get us a stack trace? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance!

Comment 2 José Aliste 2011-09-24 00:05:44 UTC

NIvaldo, can you describe more precisely what happens? Which search bar are you talking about?

Comment 3 Fabio Durán Verdugo 2011-09-24 01:43:28 UTC

And Nivaldo can you say what is the exact evince version and yelp version? because from git master and follow your description I can't reproduce. thank

Comment 4 Fabio Durán Verdugo 2011-09-24 02:07:25 UTC

OK, I get the crash this crash is a yelp problem, is a malloc fails, but I can't get the crash with valgrind execute yelp ghelp:evince

Only I get the thread backtrace

Comment 5 Shaun McCance 2011-09-24 15:55:27 UTC

What version of Yelp is this? This looks a lot like a bug that was fixed in 3.1.2.

Comment 6 Fabio Durán Verdugo 2011-09-26 01:52:55 UTC

Shaun the version is yelp 3.1.4

I can't seem to reproduce, but it's definitely not that old fixed bug, so I'm marking the bug NEW.

Comment 8 Nivaldo Henrique Bondança 2011-09-26 14:58:45 UTC

Here's a link to the reproduction of the bug http://vimeo.com/29608142

Comment 9 Shaun McCance 2014-09-11 15:17:59 UTC
