Description Yann 2012-04-27 01:26:03 UTC 
Since Ubuntu 12.04 (zenity 3.4.0), the following zenity --list returns systematically "xargs: zenity: terminated by signal 11" error whatever the user choice.

Here is the code:
choice=$(echo $TAB | xargs zenity --list --hide-header --window-icon=/path/my_icon.png \
  --title="$my_title" --text="$Please_choose_an_item" --column="") || quit_function;

The same code works ok with previous versions of Ubuntu.

Any workaround is welcome :)

I am also getting an exit code of 11 when using --list with zenity 3.4.0 (in openSUSE 12.2).  It's no possible to tell if Cancel has been clicked, or if a timeout has occurred.

Any progress on moving beyond "unconfirmed"?

Hello,

It's been a while, I know, but can you guys check if you're still getting this problem with zenity latest version? 

I really appreciate.

I cannot reproduce in Ubuntu 14.04.
Comment 4 David 2014-11-03 01:34:38 UTC

I'm closing this. Feel free to re-open if you think it's necessary
