Bug 1730554

Interesting. I see this also happening with the updated versions [1], but not if I download the JAR file directly from josm website. Additionally, there are still the backtraces as described in bug #1700492, which look in some ways very similar but looks like they are handled more correctly and do not lead to the crash of the whole JOSM. This does not happen in the jar from josm website either.

This sounds like some "packaging" issue. When comparing the images that are packaged form svn by me with the ones that I am getting in the official jar file, they are different, optimized and it looks like the svgsalamander has problems reading the original svg files.

I assume that part of the (secret) build process [2] of upstream JOSM is a step that somehow optimizes the SVG images. I spent some time trying to make some SVG minimizer/optimizer locally but without any success so far.

Anyway, patches and contributions are always welcomed.

OK, I was able to compress the svg files using svgcleaner [1], but the issues persisted. After some more digging up, it turns out that they are not using the latest version of svgSalamander, but they have some more patches on top of that, which gives me two options:

 * update the svgSalamander with current master (the fixes for the regression in the last release are not released yet)
 * bundle the patched svgSalamander

I am now going to try the first thing and I will keep this bug posted.

STR :
1) launch josm
2) select an area where you want to work and download the data
3) go to the menu. 

Menu loads and works fine when no data is being worked on.
I updated josm with sudo dnf update josm --enablerepo=updates-testing this did not install svgsalamander-1.1.2-3.fc30.

When I updated svgsalamander the issue solved itself.

The actual fix is in the svgsalamander, so both of them needs to be updated (that is the reason why they are both in the one update. Thank you for verifying the fix.

josm-0-0.99.15238svn.fc30, svgsalamander-1.1.2-3.fc30 has been pushed to the Fedora 30 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
