Description of problem: 1. Open any dvi file by xdvi. 2. Select expert mode ('x' key) 3. Exit xdvi 4. Reopen the same file => the xdvi window disappears after few milliseconds and command line is blocked without any error or warning message (^C to exit) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xdvik-22.84.13-19.fc9.i386 Additional info: Either delete your ~/.xdvirc file or delete in it the line xdvi.expertMode: 0 and xdvi works again
Additional info: A different way to crash xdvi is to press twice the 'x' key, that is "expert mode" never exits. I also compiled the src package in rawhide, thus installed xdvik-22.84.13-20.fc9.i386.rpm but without any noticeable difference
Even more info: this happens only when running Compiz: if I use metacity then the expert mode no longer crashes xdvi. FYI I use compiz-0.7.5-10.fc9.i386
Yes, I can reproduce this to some extent - xdvi doesn't crash, but it doesn't toggle between expert mode after two toggles if compiz is the WM. Will look into it.
(In reply to comment #3) > Yes, I can reproduce this to some extent - xdvi doesn't crash, Indeed also in my case it does not crash but it is "stuck": if I toggle expert mode then I cannot do anything else. If expert mode is recorded in .xdvirc then the window disappears at one but the xdvi in the command line does not exit and the shell is stuck.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
