Title:
gnome-font-viewer crashed with signal 5 in _XEventsQueued()
Status in gnome-font-viewer package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gnome-font-viewer package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
Reproducible crash (tested on Ubuntu and Xubuntu) or freezing of
application during ISO testing of a live-session.
Application will crash if there is an attempt to close it or scroll
through fonts. On one occasion my laptop was rendered unusable when
Firefox was launched while trying to report the crash to Launchpad.
After the bug report has been sent gnome-font-viewer will freeze when
automatically restarted. No fonts are displayed.
Work around
-----------
gnome-font-viewer appears to start correctly when started from the command
line of my Ubuntu 20.04 installation. Then subsequent attempts to start the
program succeed when started from the dock or the Application Overview.
I have found that this work around wasn't necessary when using Xubuntu
20.04.
