* debian: Backport patches to fix crash on launch (lp: #2075553) -- Alessandro Astone <[email protected]> Tue, 13 Aug 2024 13:29:03 +0200 ** Changed in: gnome-text-editor (Ubuntu Noble) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-text-editor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2075553 Title: gnome-text-editor crashed with SIGSEGV in editor_text_buffer_spell_adapter_invalidate_all() from editor_document_load_notify_completed_cb() from g_closure_invoke() from g_hash_table_lookup_node() from g_hash_table_lookup() Status in gnome-text-editor package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-text-editor source package in Noble: Fix Released Status in gnome-text-editor source package in Oracular: Fix Released Bug description: [ Impact ] When launching gnome-text-editor by opening a file the window appears briefly before crashing if there was an unsaved draft. This was fixed upstream by adding a NULL check. [ Test Case ] * In the terminal run `gnome-text-editor` * Create a new tab * Type anything in the document, without saving. * In the terminal press Ctrl+C to terminate the process. * In the terminal run `gnome-text-editor foo.txt` * Verify that Text Editor launches without crashing. [ What could go wrong ] gnome-text-editor is the default text editor in Ubuntu Desktop; if it is not working the user could look for alternative text editors in the application store. The patch is very unintrusive, it just adds two NULL checks. We do not expect any possible regression. [ Other info ] The previous SRU phasing was halted due to this bug. This will allow the previous SRU to procede. bug 2070283 [ Original Description ] The Ubuntu Error Tracker has been receiving reports about a problem regarding gnome-text-editor.
