Description Jan Kratochvil 2020-02-24 04:47:49 UTC
Created attachment 1665299 [details]
Fix backport.

Description of problem:
Freeze (infinite loop) when pasting long link
https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/16841

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pidgin-2.13.0-15.fc31.x86_64
gtk2-2.24.32-6.fc31.x86_64

How reproducible:
Rarely, once a week, I do not have an exact reproducer.

Steps to Reproduce:
Chat in Pidgin, paste URL, edit the text a bit.

Actual results:
Lockup.

Expected results:
No lockup.

Additional info:
The proper solution would be to build against gtk3 - I have filed Bug 1805152.
But one could rather fix gtk2 backward compatibility anyway.

The fix is untested (given I have no reproducer for the lockup) but it looks to me obvious enough. I did see the lockup in this code loop with GDB.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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 '31'.

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 31 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 31 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-24. Fedora 31 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further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.

Comment 8 Jan Kratochvil 2020-11-24 21:23:12 UTC
still valid: pidgin-2.14.1-2.fc33.x86_64

It is very annoying.

But the fix probably requires just to use the trunk 3.0 version which uses gtk3.
