[nvidia] openoffice.org crashes, when closing tab in Firefox with a document inside
Last modified: 2008-09-04 10:31:26 EDT
Description of problem: one document opened "normally" from hard drive (openoffice.org /path/to/document.sxw), another one opened in the Firefox by clicking a link on a webpage (this opens in a plugin inside Firefox by default on F9) after reading the document on the web page I closed the firefox tab: this caused oo.org to crash and the changes to the "normally" edited document (/path/to/document.sxw) were lost the error message in the terminal is: (soffice:12274): Gdk-WARNING **: GdkWindow 0x5403186 unexpectedly destroyed X-Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) Major opcode: 70 (X_PolyFillRectangle) Resource ID: 0x5403186 Serial No: 89374 (89374) These errors are reported asynchronously, set environment variable SAL_SYNCHRONIZE to 1 to help debugging (setting the environmental variable, however, does not reveal any more info) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-core-2.4.1-17.4.fc9.i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open one document from hard drive 2. open another document on Web using Firefox 3. close the Firefox tab with the document Actual results: openoffice.org will crash and the changes to the document from hard drive are lost Expected results: after closing the Firefox tab, the document on the hard drive should be still opened in openoffice Additional info:
Is this 100% reproducible for you ? Because after toggling on the mozilla-plugin option in OOo, then opening a simple document locally and using http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/25054/07-08-22-MetaData-Examples.odt as the remote for-plugin document in firefox, then closing the tab in firefox doesn't reproduce this
can you also run: /usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/crash_report -stack /dev/null to get some info, seeing as this is an XError exit rather than a crash.
after comment #1, googling etc I consider this appears only on very complex documents (by Murphy's law all the ones I tried to view before I filed the bug report): feel free to close it as WORKSFORME if you think the issue is too unlikely to encounter
Could you try and attach the output of /usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/crash_report -stack /dev/null because I'm still having no success in reproducing, and I'd like to have a look at the desktop environment settings and X settings.
Created attachment 315756 [details] crash report
ok, here it goes
Aha, you fell into my carefully constructed trap :-) (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so The closed-source nvidia drivers are notorious for their presence in many mysterious bugs try googling for "X_PolyFillRectangle nvidia" and see if there is any suggested solutions. You can always try sticking export SAL_IGNOREXERRORS=1 into the top of your /usr/lib/openoffice.org/program/soffice to see if ignoring the errors will let you muddle through. Just on the off-chance that its a generic gl desktop thing I tried with the intel driver with desktop effects enabled, and nothing weird-ass occurred for me there. So I'm going to unfortunately heap blame on nvidia unless its reproducible with a free driver
