Bug 136940

It looks like existing associations have duplicate entries, in console there are a lot of errors like this when loading a xmi-file:
umbrello: UMLPackage::addAssocToConcepts: Settings already has association id=18176

Also this could be the reason for a crash when closing umbrello:

Ouch, I thought I fixed this.
Could you attach a sample file for which this happens? Thanks.

I have sent an e-mail to your t-online address (I hope it's still valid) with an attachment, because I can't make a testcase at the moment. Now opening the file crashes umbrello and I can't work with it anymore :(

> Now opening the file crashes umbrello and I can't work with it anymore

With r604997 at least it doesn't crash anymore.

I haven't been able to reproduce the duplications.
It would help very much if you could describe the exact steps
that you did to get this problem.

Okay, I checked out the latest version in branch. Now, when I load my project all associations are gone. Umbrello gives me:

umbrello: ERROR: couldn't loadFromXMI association widget:0x8d77a10, bad XMI file? Deleting from umlview.
umbrello: ERROR: AssociationWidget::loadFromXMI: cannot find UMLObject 3187

Repeated about 100 times.

Also I get:

umbrello: UMLListView::slotObjectCreated([...], id= 16442): item already exists.
where [...] is a method-name, this is also repeated about 100 times.

I will try to make some test cases within this week and upload them here. Perhaps this is more than one bug. If I feel there are different problems I'll open new bugs. Thanks for paying attention to this issue!

Fixed by r605507.
The crash on close resurfaced and is hotfixed by r605508.
It's not quite clear to me yet why deleteLater() doesn't crash
while calling the destructor directly does - I'll try to
further investigate.
Thanks for your valuable input Gero.

I am renaming this because the original PR is a duplicate of
#129859, and the new title better reflects the actual work done.
