Description Andrew Walker 2010-05-28 20:59:30 UTC 
Version:           1.9.1 (using KDE 4.4.0) 
OS:                Linux

Kst freezes due to a deadlock condition when using the "Save Vectors to Disk..." command.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Start Kst
Create a vector
Select File... Save Vectors to Disk...
Select a vector and click Save

Actual Results:  
Kst freezes

Expected Results:  
Kst saves data to disk

The problem arises as when the data is being saved, with the corresponding vectors read-locked, a progress bar is updated, which involves handling paint events. These paint events can trigger read-locks on the same vectors being saved, resulting in a deadlock.
