GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 791621
gimp_wire_read(error) when clicking in any on-canvas control (scale or text tool for example)
Last modified: 2018-01-14 15:46:59 UTC
Duplicate of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787237 but was instructed to file as a new bug since the original does not show any steps to reproduce. Steps to reproduce: 1) Open image 2) launch any tool that includes on-canvas menus (ie. text tool, scale, etc...) 3) any attempt to click inside those on-canvas menus causes the program to immediately close. Bash console shows: (Launching Gimp) Missing fast-path babl conversion detected, Implementing missing babl fast paths accelerates GEGL, GIMP and other software using babl, warnings are printed on first occurance of formats used where a conversion has to be synthesized programmatically by babl based on format description *WARNING* missing babl fast path(s): "CIE LCH(ab) double" to "R'G'B' double" GIMP-Error: Failed to load data: Error loading '/home/paulie76/.config/GIMP/2.9/patterns/GPS-Pat/Canvas-Covered.xcf': Unrecognized image file format mapped '<Toolbox>/Xtns/Misc' to '<Image>/File/Create/Misc' mapped '<Toolbox>/Xtns/Photo' to '<Image>/Filters/Extensions/Photo' (Opening Photo) jpeg-load: found Exif block (6393 bytes) XXXXXX gimp_image_create_color_transforms XXXXXX gimp_color_transform_new: using babl for 'Adobe RGB (1998)' -> 'GIMP built-in sRGB' gimp_color_transform_new: using babl for 'GIMP built-in sRGB' -> 'Adobe RGB (1998)' gimp_color_transform_new: using babl for 'Adobe RGB (1998)' -> 'GIMP built-in sRGB' gimp_color_transform_new: using babl for 'GIMP built-in sRGB' -> 'Adobe RGB (1998)' *WARNING* missing babl fast path(s): "\gimp-indexed-format-2" to "R'G'B'A u8" (attempting to scale using "Shift-T" and adjusting values in the on-canvas menu) modifier key modifier key gimp: fatal error: Segmentation fault gimp (pid:14459): [E]xit, [H]alt, show [S]tack trace or [P]roceed: e (script-fu:14471): LibGimpBase-WARNING **: script-fu: gimp_wire_read(): error
Is this with a graphic (as Wacom) tablet? Do you have rulers visible, when it happens? If you enable rulers (View->Show Rulers) does it happen as well? It could be a duplicate of bug #791447, which itself could be a duplicate of bug #784480 and probably a few other
For the records, the corresponding Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/7jp1bg/is_there_a_way_to_disable_oncanvas_controls/

Re-enabling them fixed it up right away.

But at the time of the error, I was using my mouse instead.
