Description Nicolas Brisset 2004-09-22 10:43:39 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.2 
OS:                Solaris

I'm using KDE 3.3.0 on a Solaris machine and have a major problem with all KDE applications (first noticed with kst, but also happens with others): the application crashes when I try to change the name of the PS file to print to. As soon as I type any letter in the filename field ("Output file"), a crash happens.
(Incidentally, the same problem occurs when trying to select a filename to save to, I suppose both are related but I will probably open another report for that.)

The crash does not happen when selecting an already existing file, it's only linked with keyboard input in the "Output file" lineedit. I occasionally get messages saying "could not stat file ..." where the filename is mostly truncated, if that can help.

Step by step instructions on how to reproduce:
- launch konqueror and load http://www.kde.org
- select "Document->Print"
- choose the "Print to file (PostScript)" pseudo-printer
-in the "Ouput file" field set to $HOME/print.ps by default, try to add a "2" to make it $HOME/print2.ps: CRASH !

I doubt this is directly related to kdeprint. Could you report a backtrace from the crash dialog that should popup when the problem occurs?
Comment 2 Nicolas Brisset 2005-01-05 15:21:50 UTC
This is linked with the kurlcompletion.cpp problem also involved in bug #90004, which I have just closed as resolved by bug #95830.

Closing old Resolved status bug.
