[Impact] Due to a bug in GTK+2, mate-display-properties crashes when the screen resolution is changed *outside* of it (e.g. by changing the resolution not via that app, but somewhere else).
The attached patches fix the issue in GTK+2 and prevent crashing of m-d-p. Since this issue caused much inconvenience for users, the fix should be backported to all current stable releases of Ubuntu. [Test Case] The easiest way to reproduce it is via Virtualbox: 1. Run mate-display-properties in the VM. 2. Make the VM go full-screen. 3. See m-d-p crash. [Regression Potential] After several months of testing the patched version of GTK+2 in Debian Jessie, I found no regressions. I consider the regression risk very low here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1351890 Title: Changing external screen resolution with dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/1351890/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
