Description James Ring 2017-01-03 23:57:18 UTC 
To reproduce:

Step 1: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/stdout count=1 bs=500M | base64 | xclip -selection clipboard

Step 2: right-click on Klipper

I think this is different to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33747, as the crash seems to be in computing the QFontMetrics::boundingRect for a 500Mb string. I'd think it would be easy enough to simply truncate the displayed text to a reasonable amount (e.g. first and last 100 bytes or something).

Application: Klipper (klipper), signal: Segmentation fault
Using host libthread_db library "/usr/grte/v4/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".

Comment 1 Martin Flöser 2017-01-04 05:56:07 UTC 
Which version are you using?
Comment 2 James Ring 2017-01-04 06:39:18 UTC 
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with klipper package version 4:4.11.11-0ubuntu0.2. I haven't tried it on a later version.
Comment 3 Martin Flöser 2017-01-04 07:22:28 UTC 
Unfortunately we no longer maintain this version of Klipper. Too many 
things have changed and this makes it difficult to investigate the bug. 
It is also quite likely that the bug has already been resolved. Please 
consider upgrading to our latest version.
