Description of problem: Long work with Gimp sometimes means lost of unsaved work, because clicking on menu item "Save as..." or "Save a Copy..." means crash. I can't exactly say, what function during work is the culprit of instability, but it should be probably ordinary tool, because I'm using basic set of tools. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gimp-2.2.13-1.fc6 How reproducible: ocassionally Steps to Reproduce: 1.some time work over an image - work with layers, 2.{Save as ..., Save a Copy ...} is the last item what I have clicked 3.then immediately crash Additional info: During long work I can see rectangular moving artefact on all screens - size cca width:100px;height:100px.
Are there any messages pertaining to this issue on stderr/stdout? Please run gimp from the terminal -- "ulimit -c unlimited" and "gimp --stack-trace-mode query" to dump a core when it crashes -- and attach them here (if there are any) as well as possible core dumps.
This should be fixed in RHEL-5
Hold on, I have to find a time to play with gimp ... Perhaps next week.
This is blocking the release, we need the info the developer asked for ASAP. CC:ing in PM for more visibility. Putting back in NEEDINFO.
It is hard to reproduce, I have tested it several days without crash. I'll watch out on this application, because I'm also a web developer and sometimes need to create some pictures. I'm using dual-head configuration which isn't so common thing. The moving squarish artefact sometimes appears especially when I'm working with text and layers.
Closing as WORKS4ME, pls reopen if your able to reproduce. Thanks!
I'am able to reproduce it with high probability ! devilishy simple: 1) Start Gimp - `gimp --stack-trace-mode query` 2) Open image tux.png 3) Save image tux2.png 4) playing with 5) delete saved image (tux2.png) from HDD 6) in a while it crashes (hard to say when) tested image and output from terminal will be appended

[changing product to RHEL final] Josef, what are the versions of gimp, gnome-vfs2, gtk2, glib2 and glibc on your system? I'm asking because I couldn't reproduce it here on my machine which is an updated FC-6 which has the same gimp package as RHEL5 as it hasn't been built anew since the split. Does your machine happen to be x86_64 as well?
I can't reproduce it ...
In that case I can't fix it ;-). I'd seriously like to re-base the gimp in RHEL4/5 as there are a huge number of bugfixes in the current upstream versions. But I don't think I have the PM/QA buy-in for that.
