GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 738073
Crash in g_closure_invoke when dragging any object
Last modified: 2014-10-29 14:02:03 UTC
In Ubuntu 14.10, I get segmentation faults in multiple applications (nautilus, evince, file-roller, apport), which all seem to be caused by the same bug in g_closure_invoke(). The crash is not caught by apport. This segfault might also be the cause for other drag-related bugs. I've attached a backtrace of nautilus crashing.

The same problem happens for charmap when dragging a character, eog when dragging a picture, and evince when clicking the "file options" button. Could this be related to the fact that I did an upgrade from an older version of Ubuntu and some packages might be stuck at wrong versions still?

Thanks for the bug report! That is unlikely the source of the problem, GTK+ 3.14 is API and ABI compatible with the previous 3.x versions. But I definitely can't reproduce on vanilla GTK+, which makes me think of ubuntu specific patches/features to the GtkScrolledWindow widget. Do you happen to have overlay scrollbars enabled? could you try after disabling these? You can apparently disable these doing: gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal
Unfortunately this did not help. I am using the Gnome related packages from the GNOME3 Team's PPA for Ubuntu, so I'm not sure how many Ubuntu specific patches there are. Anything else I can try? Many thanks!
Hi, I had the same problem. I fixed the issue by removing the overlay-scrollbar* Regards, Vinay Jain.
This is a bug in Ubuntu's overlay scrollbars https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1386255
Just two short additions: 1. The problem actually went away by *enabling* rather than disabling the overlay-scrollbars (overlay-auto instead of normal) 2. The following package upgrades fixed the problem for me: overlay-scrollbar (0.2.16+r359+14.10.20140625-0ubuntu1 => 0.2.16+r359+14.10.20140625-0ubuntu2~utopic1) overlay-scrollbar-gtk2 (0.2.16+r359+14.10.20140625-0ubuntu1 => 0.2.16+r359+14.10.20140625-0ubuntu2~utopic1) overlay-scrollbar-gtk3 (0.2.16+r359+14.10.20140625-0ubuntu1 => 0.2.16+r359+14.10.20140625-0ubuntu2~utopic1) Thanks again for the investigation and most of all for providing GNOME!
