Created attachment 230073 [details] Bluefish sigsegv gdb backtrace Hi, I got a segfault while editing a file. I was simply entering a paragraph of text. This occurs randomly but quite often. Attached the gdb backtrace. Regards Jean-Luc
Thanks for reporting Are there more details for the bugreport? Which gtk version and bluefish svn revision (see the about menu - buildinfo), which linux distribution, does this happen with any language or just one specific language (html? C?, javascript?).
can you see if you can create a backtrace with debugging symbols, such as described here: http://bfwiki.tellefsen.net/index.php/Debugging_Bluefish after looking at the source code I don't understand where this segfault is happening.

can you add the extra information to the bugreport: which gtk and bluefish version which linux distribution and version was there a specific language syntax (C? html? etc.) active when you got the segfault (how can it be reproduced?) I added a few checks to the latest svn (revision 7742), can you see if that gives any useful output?
gtk version: 2.24.13 bluefish version: svn revision 7737 Distribution: debian sid (some parts from experimental), x86_64 (amd64) architecture linux: 3.6.8, x86_64 syntax: html, crash occured while entering plain text between <p> </p> tags. I've updated to svn revision 7742 and rebuilt bluefish. I will try to reproduce the crash. Regards J-L
I've done more editing. I never got a crash with 7742 so I reinstalled 7737 et got quickly several crashes... J-L
I was too quick... got the crash. Attached the bt (no other messages???). I remarked I built it with gtk3. version of libgtk3 is 3.6.1

I've added some extra debug info in revision 7748. Can you, furthermore instal debugsymbols, on Debian these are available in libgtk-3-0-dbg, libglib2.0-0-dbg and libxml2-dbg? That will give more info on the possibility that this bug is in gtk or glib and not in bluefish. Can you run it again in the debugger and post the output? Thank you very much.
Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for. Thanks!
reopened, more users can reproduce this, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluefish/+bug/1161314 we still need a very extensive backtrace to fix this, or a valgrind log.
Hi, if this ticket is still valid in a recent version of Bluefish, then please report this under https://sourceforge.net/p/bluefish/tickets/ as GNOME Bugzilla is not used anymore by the Bluefish developers - thanks a lot!
