Some preliminary results: No xwindows crash happens when running unit tests on Leo 4.4.4 final and Leo 4.4.5 final, with Python2.4.4 or Python2.5.1. Lots of unit tests fail, but that's (probably) because the official distributions that I used for the tests do not have some files the unit tests expect. Anyway, "normal" failures and errors do not concern me. I do get the xwindows crash reliably when running Leo 4.4.6 final with Python2.4.4. Moreover, I get the crash when mod_scripting.py is the only plugin in the plugins menu. I removed everything else from the plugins menu to be *sure* that unit tests can not "stealthily" enable plugins behind the scenes. So it seems clear that: - This is *not* a Python 2.5 issue. - Something drastic happened between Leo 4.4.5 final and Leo 4.4.6 final. - The crash does not involve plugins, except possibly the scripting plugin. In particular, the threading colorizer plugin can not, by itself, cause these crashes. - If you have been using Leo on Linux without problems, you are not likely to have more problems with Leo 4.4.8. Happily: - Both Leo 4.4.5 and Leo 4.4.6 are on tigris, so I can compare these versions relatively easily. - The x crash happens reliably and quickly--during, or maybe *just* after, the tests of .leo files. My first step will be to diff leoTest.py to see if the tests of .leo files changed significantly. Edward P.S. I am going to rethink the entire strategy for testing plugins. As I was disabling various plugins, I came across several plugins that really not be tested as part of normal unit tests. This is a separate issue, but it should be dealt with before the next release.
