Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: gtkhtml3-4.8.5-2.el7 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: crash could happen when a link insert was initiated in the HTML message format Consequence: inserting an image and right after that a link could cause a crash due to no object type checking and casting an object into a type it was not, thus accessing object structure members with incorrect values. Fix: proper type checking had been added Result: application doesn't crash when a link is inserted right after inserting an image

Comment 4 Milan Crha 2015-08-26 11:44:52 UTC
The problem was that there was no type-checking, thus even the cursor was at an image object the code cast the structure to a text object, thus it was reading data which was not there. I added type-checking and fixed a cursor positioning, thus the changes in the URL description don't delete the image object.
