GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 776011
Pressing the menu key crashes Gedit if the cursor is at a line end
Last modified: 2020-11-24 09:57:36 UTC
Pressing the Menu Key on the keyboard (the one to the left of the right Ctrl key) crashes Gedit. It only does this if the main text area is selected and if the cursor is at the end of a line. If it was started from a terminal, it closes with the message "Gdk-WARNING **: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display." Steps to reproduce: - Open a document in gedit - Move the cursor to the end of a line (it could be a blank line) - Press the menu button. It crashes every time for me. Expected results: The menu button should normally open a right-click menu on whatever is selected. It usually works, but not if the cursor is at the end of a line. I have gedit version 3.22.0, on Fedora 25.
I can also reproduce this in version 3.22.0 on Fedora 25. If gedit is started from the terminal then the output is: $ gedit (gedit:2867): Gdk-WARNING **: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.
Mass-closing of all gedit bugzilla tickets. Special "code" to find again all those gedit bugzilla tickets that were open before the mass-closing: 2bfe1b0590a78457e1f1a6a90fb975f5878cb60064ccfe1d7db76ca0da52f0f3 By searching the above sha256sum in bugzilla, the gedit contributors can find again the tickets. We may be interested to do so when we work on a specific area of the code, to at least know the known problems and possible enhancements. We do this mass-closing because bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org.
