kopete version 0.12.6 if you turn off the kopetex plugin, the problem should go away. Please confirm that disabling the Kopetex plugin makes the problem go away. (This is not a real solution, but it helps us figure out where the bug is) The KopeTeX plugin seems to be the culprit. This is probably more to do with creating an endless error loop in TeX, and thus unfixable. I'll just use that plugin when I need it. That will solve the problem.

add -halt-on-error for latex and check for existing out.dvi
could reproduce on trunk, attached a patch to fix that specific $$$$$ issue and any other invalid tex. SVN commit 828499 by mattr: Fix bug 150483 Use -halt-on-error and check for the existance of out.dvi and exit appropriately so that we don't hog CPU, crash kopete, cause bad rendering errors, etc. Patch by green_man@gmx.net - Thanks! Should be seen in Kopete 0.60, which will be out with KDE 4.1 BUG: 150483 M +2 -1 kopete_latexconvert.sh WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=828499 |
Version: 0.12.6 (using KDE 3.5.7 "release 74.2" , openSUSE ) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.8-0.5-default Steps to reproduce: Have someone message you (on gmail protocol) this message: 5 dollar signs or more ("$$$$$"). Expected Result: "$$$$$" displayed (or how ever many more dollar signs were entered). Actual Result: Multiple blank lines produced, UI irregularity. The more dollar signs transmitted, the more CPU is eaten up with the processes "gs" and "convert". If a ridiculous amount of dollar signs are transmitted, crashes kopete after freezing system for a time.
