GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 726781
Check for and remove "dead" applications when iterating through children of the registry's desktop
Last modified: 2021-07-05 10:45:46 UTC
As discussed on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=972257, if there is a badly-behaved/dead app lurking in the registry and a client is not looking out for that possibility, things break. While clients should be prepared to deal with this situation gracefully, it would be nice if AT-SPI2 could check for apps that are no longer on the bus and remove them from the registry.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/at-spi2-core/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
