Description

The file in question had three lines, the first a normal length, the second line was blank, and the third line was over 4000 characters long. Adding a newline in the middle of that really long line allowed gedit to open the file. Update: My daughter recently started using LibreOffice for her journal entries. And still hasn't learned to put line or paragraph breaks in her text. With LibreOffice she again created a journal entry that would consistently cause it to hang. I had to use 'unoconv --format=txt journal-file.odt', load it up in emacs, split her >4K characters into multiple paragraphs, then create a new Office document and copy and paste back to get it working for her again. So, two completely separate programs that hang when there are more than around 4K characters on a single line makes me really suspect some lower-level library. Since Libre-Office wasn't crashing but was just hanging, and I didn't want to try to dig up all the necessary debug rpms, I didn't grab a stack trace of it. Just noting this item of interest for anyone else trying to reproduce this bug.

According to the upstream issue (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gedit/issues/91#note_384272), there's a bug in Gtk input method under wayland. I think that should be reported to… err… what project? This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '29'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
