Description Kristian Laakkonen 2013-05-17 19:45:10 UTC 
If the "View" option in process list is changed while the properties window of a process is open, the program crashes sometimes.

It looks like this bug is nearly the same as bug 683671, even the stack trace is identical. That bug doesn't happen anymore.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open gnome-system-monitor and select the "Processes" tab.
2) Select "All Processes" from the "View" dropdown.
3) Right-click on some process (e.g. gnome-system-monitor itself) and select "Properties".
4) Change the selection in the "View" dropdown to e.g. "My Processes".
5) Wait for the crash to happen.
The crash happens both when the "Dependencies" option is checked and unchecked.

This happens with the latest version compiled from git. I tried this on Ubuntu 13.04.
