Package: python3-gobject
Version: 2.28.6-5
Severity: normal
(test.py is attached)
$ python3 test.py # then right-click the icon
popup_menu
Segmentation fault
$ python3 test.py # then right-click the icon
popup_menu
Illegal instruction
$ python test.py # then right-click the icon, and then click `Quit'
popup_menu
$
While test.py works with python 2, it crashes randomly with python
3. Thus there is very likely to be a bug in python3-gobject.
