@Sebastien, I wanted to be able to use Abiword as my word processor as is intended in Xfce. I also think that countless others must have encountered this problem (seeing as it is present on 100% of machines I've tested it on) and found it very frustrating, particularly when trying to meet deadlines and having a crashing computer on their hands. I was told that this is the same bug as the one I originally posted so in my mind a fix for this bug was a fix for my problem and everyone elses. So it seemed logical to have it backported.
... But you're saying that the 'fix' doesn't actually address the problem it just stops apport being triggered? I don't see how that could write this bug off as 'fix released'! I want apport to run when my system encounters an error, otherwise I've got nothing to go on! How the hell can ignoring the error be considered a fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1210852 Title: gvfsd-http assert failure in g_error_free() Status in GVFS: Fix Released Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Trying to get this backported so attempting to follow the SRU Procedure as outlined here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure [Impact] * An explanation of the effects of the bug on users This bug stops users of Abiword in Xubuntu copy and pasting pictures from Firefox. Maybe other sources too? Text pastes fine. Libreoffice is unaffected. * justification for backporting the fix to the stable release. Copy and pasting pictures is surely a very basic feature of any word processor and Abiword is bundled as the default in Xubuntu. Additionally I have detected this bug on multiple versions of Xubuntu (13.10 64-bit, 13.10 32-bit and a 12.04 ?-bit - 100% of the machines I have tested it on). * In addition, it is helpful, but not required, to include an explanation of how the upload fixes this bug. No idea [Test Case] * detailed instructions how to reproduce the bug * these should allow someone who is not familiar with the affected package to reproduce the bug and verify that the updated package fixes the problem. Simply open Abiword on a Xubuntu machine, find an image from Google images on Firefox and copy and paste by any method into the document. It has on occasion successfully pasted the image although most of the time it seems to fail. I do not know what factors cause fail/success. [Regression Potential] I am unable to comment on this personally.
