Public bug reported: I ran into a problem where a certain program would crash with a segfault after trying to open a dialog box.
Some investigation lead me to this bug report with at least a partial fix: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/33607 It looks like Tix crashes when trying to turn the cursor into a busy cursor, so by short circuiting that the segfault is bypassed. As the bug report says, "I patched the file inserting a return statement at line 179, so that the tixBusy function returns immediatly." I made the change on my system and the segfault went away. Maybe Ubuntu wants to implement this patch? I know it's a brute force solution. ** Affects: tix (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1749791 Title: Fix for tix segfaults on busy dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tix/+bug/1749791/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
