Is it possible to get an example file and the exact steps to reproduce the bug? Well, an example file would include any file... even starting from a blank page. If I have it on split view... and start typing then switch to another application then back & forth etc... then type some more... the app crashes. It appears pretty random unfortunately... but with an average bit of use, it usually happens within the first few minutes. More info: the KDE crash hanlder reports "The applicaion Quanta (quanta) crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT)." In an xterm... (from where the application is launched) the message "terminate called after throwing an instance of 'DOM::DOMException'" Reciently updated KDE to 3.4.2 and problem still exists. If it's possible, you should try the 3.5 branch of the SVN version. I introduced many tests to catch the crashes, altough some might still happen. Again, a way to reproduce would help a lot. grr... the things I do to make things work. Didn't know 3.5 requires unsermake and qt4 to compile it... too bad there was no pre-compiled version of qt4 for my distro :( Oh well, enough complaining. Compiler is running now. I'll let you know the results as soon as my machine is done compiling qt 4 & kdewebdev 3.5. Steps to reproduce: Open or create ANY document. click the split vpl view, or the vpl only view... make changes ... make use control+home/control+end & scroll arround... make more changes... switch to other application... switch back... make more changes to document... and after several times of doing this... crash. I'm trying to narrow down EXACTLY what combination causes this... but havn't found it yet. On a side note... if you use the source-code view only... the app never crashes. [bugs.kde.org quoted mail] You missread something, as 3.5 DOES NOT require unsermake, qt 4 and things like that. You must have checked out the trunk instead of the 3.5 branch. See http://quanta.kdewebdev.org/faq.php#faq13 . At the end it says: "The latest development version from the 3.x series is in /home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kdewebdev. " > Open or create ANY document. click the split vpl view, or the vpl only > view... make changes ... make use control+home/control+end & scroll > arround... make more changes... switch to other application... switch > back... make more changes to document... and after several times of > doing this... crash.

Sure, as this is about VPL, which is kind of a step-child since the original author abandoned the Quanta project. Source-only mode is well tested and constantly maintained and improved (mostly by me). And I saw crashes when swithcing between the modes and I fixed those, so this is why I was asking for testing. I close the bug, as I believe it is fixed. Report if it present in the upcoming 3.4.3 or 3.5beta2 (well, or if you are able to compile the 3.5 branch) |
