[apport] xaralx crashed with SIGSEGV in wxWindow::OnInternalIdle() when attempting to print

[Sam Williams]

Binary package hint: xaralx

I experience a consistent crash with XaraLx. All I have to do is run the program, create a box, then try to print the box. The program will crash 100% of the time. It also doesn't matter if the file is saved before the attempt to print. The program crashes under both scenarios.

I'm running a fully update Feisty Fawn, with version 0.7r1692-2 of XaraLX. I also have version 0.7r1692-2 of Xaralx-svg installed.

I don't have any type of debug version of XaraLx, but I got as much information as possible without having appropriate debug symbols in the executable.

Does the problem occur in the upstream version (try the autopackage version from www.xaraxtreme.org)?

I have a feeling this is some wxWindows incompatibility on Feisty Fawn.

The error is not from xaralx.
Apparently apt did a bad job upgrading xara to gutsy.
all you have to do to have it working again is
sudo apt-get install xaralx, as the package is not even recognized as installed by the system.
(type sudo apt-get remove --purge xaralx in a terminal and you'll see...)

Someone please confirm that this fix works.... and change the status upon verification.

The same problem happens with freshly installed Gutsy (7.10) on x68 and amd64 platforms. xaralx crashes 100% when attempting to print to a printer or exporting the drawing to a pdf.

Attaching the stack dump from the core file of xaralx version 0.7r1692-2 from amd64 platform.

The crash is still present on Ubuntu 8.10.

Is this a duplicate of bug 96046?

Running Ubuntu Karmic Beta on AMD64 somtimes I was able to print, but it usually crashes

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I noticed that the package version your bugging is updated in Lucid. Please update via http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ repost a detailed error report, and update the bug status. Thanks!

In Maverick, same procedure as reporter caused same problem. Not to dig, but I use Kolour (in GNOME), may want to switch to for time being. Bug report auto-spotted this so placed myself on affected list and confirming.
