Description Viktoria S. 2014-07-14 13:59:56 UTC

Each time I
create a new image I draw something with my tablet and then I select the text
tool. When I start to type the text gimp crashes. 
$ gimp

(gimp:3363): Gdk-WARNING **:
/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.24.23/gdk/x11/gdkdrawable-x11.c:942 drawable is not a

(script-fu:3370): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

And I also noticed something else too. If I create a new image I use the text
tool with the mouse. Than I draw something with the mouse. Then I switch to the
tablet gimp crashes.

I am on xubuntu 14.04 64bit I have got genious mousepen i608x (I am using it
with the wacom driver). 
Here is the information on gimp:
$ gimp --version --verbose
GNU Image Manipulation Program version 2.8.10
git-describe: GIMP_2_8_8-55-g9bb7eb0

using GEGL version 0.2.0 (compiled against version 0.2.0)
using GLib version 2.40.0 (compiled against version 2.39.2)
using GdkPixbuf version 2.30.7 (compiled against version 2.30.3)
using GTK+ version 2.24.23 (compiled against version 2.24.22)
using Pango version 1.36.3 (compiled against version 1.36.0)
using Fontconfig version 2.11.0 (compiled against version 2.11.0)
using Cairo version 1.13.1 (compiled against version 1.12.16)

I don't know in the setting manager in the Window manager I am using the
Greybird compact theme but change it to the default did not helped.

I would appreciate any help.

Comment 1 André Klapper 2014-07-15 09:43:01 UTC

Could you install debug packages for gimp, then run gimp under gdb and provide a stacktrace of the segmentation fault?
* Enter command:   gdb gimp
* (get a gdb shell)
* Enter command:   run
* (make it crash)
* Enter command:   thread apply all bt
* (paste its output here)
* Enter command:   quit      (to leave gdb and gimp)

Comment 3 Michael Natterer 2014-07-16 11:30:24 UTC

Text tool and tablet reminds me of bug 614441. We should really get 2.8.12
out and see if the fix for 614441 helps here too.

Comment 4 Michael Natterer 2014-10-21 22:05:57 UTC

Does this still happen on 2.8.14?
