Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): info-4.8-15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start a gnome-terminal 2. run "info" command in the gnome-terminal 3. start resizing the gnome-terminal windows many times (about 10 times or so) Actual results: info crashes with a "Segmentation fault" error message Expected results: info should not crash. Additional info: Here is a backtrace that I obtained by running info under gdb and installing debuginfo package: #0 0x0804a53e in display_update_one_window (win=0x81eb5d0) at display.c:301 #1 0x0804a9d0 in display_update_display (window=0x81eb5d0) at display.c:85 #2 0x0805df06 in reset_info_window_sizes () at signals.c:161 #3 0x0805e118 in info_signal_proc (sig=28) at signals.c:277 #4 <signal handler called> #5 0x00f25400 in __kernel_vsyscall () #6 0x00b9a3f3 in __read_nocancel () from /lib/libc.so.6 #7 0x08057098 in info_get_input_char () at /usr/include/bits/unistd.h:35 #8 0x0805d9bc in info_read_and_dispatch () at session.c:217 #9 0x0805dad2 in info_session () at session.c:175 #10 0x08050922 in main (argc=476479496, argv=0xbf9081d4) at info.c:507 #11 0x00aeef70 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6 #12 0x08049731 in _start ()
Hi, only small update here: in lates texinfo-4.11-1 this bug is partialy fixed, but still present:( No problem with vertical resizing, segfault with horizontal resizing.
in info-4.11-1.fc8 I can reproduce the crash with both vertical and horizontal resizing, by running "info bash" from a terminal and then resizing the window.
Hi, window width or height goes sometimes bellow zero, that's the problem. I discussed it with upstream and it'll be fixed in next release of texinfo.
texinfo-4.11-2.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update texinfo'
Hi, it's fixed in f8 and devel too.
I don't see any updates for Fedora 8.

I can see it in Fedora 7 testing repository at http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/7/i386/info-4.11-2.fc7.i386.rpm however I can't find it in Fedora 8 testing repository http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/8/i386/ maybe I should just wait a little more.
I see it here: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/8/i386/texinfo-4.11-2.fc8.i386.rpm
Sorry, here: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/testing/8/i386/info-4.11-2.fc8.i386.rpm
I can confirm that this bug has been fixed in info-4.11-2.fc8 Should I close the bug now or wait until it is released as an official update?
It'll be closed automatically after pushing update to stable.
