Version: 2.2.2b (using KDE 3.93.00 (KDE 4.0 Beta2), compiled sources) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.13-0.3-default After I played a game of Free Cell, I clicked on the Random Cards menu option five or six times. I think I pressed the F9 key at that point, but I'm not sure. It then crashed, and exited, with signal 11. This may be specific to the F9 key, not to the menu option for Random Cards. It may not be possible to reproduce this bug, from this description, you may have to wait for further reports of it.
I just tried it again. It keeps happening. I start up Patience, and it shows Free Cell. I press the F9 key. After I press it a few times, the game exits. I did this a few times, it always crashes. I can press the F9 key 3, or 4, or 5 times, at which time the game exits, with signall 11. It also crashes if I use the Random Cards menu option, 3 or 4 times. I'm using openSUSE 10.3.
if you click f9 really fast, it's crashing indeed. But that's not what F9 was made for :)
SVN commit 770050 by coolo: try not to crash when someone changes cards like wild BUG: 153986 M +2 -0 cardmaps.cpp M +4 -3 dealer.cpp M +4 -3 pwidget.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=770050
The problem is back and not just with F9 If you use the menu, it crashes sometimes the first time. AND, it does not choose random cards.
I'm reopening this bug because its not fixed; the attempt at a fix did not work. Also, Stephan Kulow assumed that the crash only happens if I "click f9 really fast". This is not correct. Pressing F9 slowly also leads to a crash. JRT had this to say about it: The problem is back and not just with F9 If you use the menu, it crashes sometimes the first time. AND, it does not choose random cards.
I note that this appears to _currently_ work in TRUNK, which is no guarantee that it will work in the next release BRANCH. However, I don't think that that is a reason to close the bug. Fix it in 4.0.x and/or wait till 4.1.0 is released.
sorry no. I won't keep all bugs open till KDE 4.1 is released. It's fixed for 4.1
It was reported against 4.0 and the app still crashes in 4.0 BRANCH. Therefore, the bug isn't fixed.
Regardless of whether the bug should stay open or not, can you please backport the fix? As you're one of the most veteran developers in KDE, I'm sure you're aware of the policy: http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Policies/SVN_Commit_Policy#Backport_bugfixes ;-) The changes look small enough for a backport to me.
