Bug 339174

Bug was introduced in the 4.4.1 update. I can confirm on Kubuntu 14.04 (KDE 4.13.3, gtk-egine 1.4.5). Eclipse will crash immediately if you open any dialog in Eclipse (see above asertion).

Workaround: do not use the oxygen-gtk theme for GTK applications (you can change it in the KDE system settings)

I can't reproduce this bug on Ubuntu 12.04 with oxygen-gtk v1.4.5-52-g39ca053 (current git) and Eclipse 4.4.1 downloaded from eclipse.org.
What GTK2 version are you using? Mine is 2.24.10.

I am using gtk 2.24.23 on Ubuntu 14.04. gtk2-engines-oxygen (1.4.5-0ubuntu1).

*** Bug 339507 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I have the same problem, if I change the line with the failing assert in oxygencomboboxdata.cpp, to " if( _button._widget ) return" - then this crash disapears. I'm not sure, if it's a proper fix, but I haven't found any problem with it.

Same problem. I wonder if it's an Eclipse or KDE bug, everything was wonking fine a few days ago.
I just made a kubuntu update, and reinstalled eclipse, so i don't know which one is the culprit

Always Reproducible using Eclipse 4.4.1.M20140925-0400 64-bit on Linux Mint 17 64-bit using Oxygen as GTK2 theme.

To reproduce, press Ctrl+H (search in files), Eclipse immediately crash with below output.

BTW, although GTK2 theme was set to "Oxygen", my KDE Widget style is actually "QtCurve".

Workaround: System Settings > Application Appearance > GTK > Set GTK2 theme to "Redmond" or others (Clearlooks works too).

Thanks Rudi for info :)

People, please,
this is not a forum.
this is a bug report.
messages saying thanks to other messages bring no information
duplicated messages (such as workarounds) bring no information
In fact they tend to dilute the information relevant for actually investigating the issue.

Hi Zsombor,

The assertion failing means that something is likely broken upstream 
(two gtk buttons are associated to the same combobox, which should not happen)

One could either "return" as you suggest, to ignore the second button, or just use the new one (bit more changes), but I think it would make more sense

Now, since neither Ruslan nor I can reproduce the issue it is somewhat hard to test.
I will send two patches (this one, and one that uses the second), for you to test, if you don't mind.
If the second also fixes the issue on your side, I guess I'll push the change.

Thanks in advance,

Hugo

nothing has changed on oxygen-gtk for month.
So this is either
- an upstream bug (gtk, ecclipse, swt ...)
or an old bug, never triggered before changes to upstream code.

tentative patch

This patch disconnect the "old" button assigned to the combobox, and connects the new one.
Please tell me if it 'still' fixes the issue

Created attachment 88915 [details]
tentative patch

This patch is similar to the one proposed in comment #5, plus a warning.
Will be pushed in the one posted in the previous comment does not work.

I'm now able to reproduce this crash in a virtual Kubuntu 14.04 i386 system. Easily reproduces when I open Eclipse-CDT, select File->New->C Project, and then click in the element under the one selected in the tree view (not sure if this click is necessary, things were running rather slow, and I only saw the assertion failure after the click).

I'll try to test your patches when I'm at home.

This seems to be a bug in GTK according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk2-engines-oxygen/+bug/1242801
(there a similar problem for Meld was reported).
Another workaround mentioned there is
For oxygen, edit the normally already existing file "/usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" and change
    GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 1
into
    GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 0

Indeed, this seems to be true, just checked. Looks like this bug  is a duplicate of bug 326424.

Can confirm: Makes Eclipse Luna (latest) unusable for me on Kubuntu 14.04 amd64. Crashes at Launch configuration / Debug configuration window every time. Those are very important parts of the UI, without them Eclipse is useless.

OK, I've tested both patches. Of course, both avoid the crash, but the first one works better: in the "New C Project" dialog, if I unset "Use default location", clicking "Choose file system" (with "default" text by default) makes the button press as a whole. With the second patch, which just ignores the new button, only the down-arrow-button is rendered sunken, while the text field part remains unpressed.
Also, the second (ignore new button one) spits lots of warnings to the console, while the first one only prints one warning.

Hi Ruslan,
Thanks for the testing.
The patch behavior you describe is more or less expected. So I'll push the first patch, and close this bug report.
Then we'll have to make a new release in a couple of days, I guess ...
