Seems strange. It doesn't happen to many people as it's the first time I've seen that reported. It's a stock GTK widget... Maybe test with another theme? I'll be more than happy to try :-) Because I'm not really a theme guy (OK, I change my desktop background, that's it) - how do I try with another theme? I use that combobox frequently, and it has never crashed for me so far.

Do you see anything suspicious in $HOME/.claws-mail/quicksearch_history? Just curious.
Hi Michael, good pointer! Suspicious - well, I do use a very complicated "extended search", almost 5000 chars on one line. I have a script which converts a set of rules (one line each, with comments) to a claws-like extended search format. Each rule is seperated by '|'. I copy/paste this long string into the search box to select messages out of trash that I want to purge. I've tried renaming quicksearch_history to quicksearch_history.bak, start claws, search for "asdf", close claws, open again and try clicking the combo it doesn't crash. Recap: If I remove the extra-long string from the quicksearch_history file, claws doesn't crash anymore. Perhaps there's a limit on the length of the string the combobox can handle? In the end, the error message in comment #0 contains: """ The program 'claws-mail' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'. """ HTH, /David Created attachment 356029 [details]
detailed backtrace
Yes, it's X that runs out of resources. Here a huge drawing area appears prior to the crash. I wonder whether Gtk or Cairo can do something about it? Kind of prevent the crash maybe?

To reproduce (Fedora 11):
1) cat /etc/services | tr '\n' ' ' > $HOME/.claws-mail/quicksearch_history
2) Start claws-mail
3) Click quicksearch combobox as explained in original bug description.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'.

If I open Claws Mail and post something long in the quicksearch combobox, this can be used to cause various crashes.
