Crash if right-click when completing a shape

[Jfruchey]

Using the bezier tool, while making the last curve of a shape, i.e. the one
that ends at the start point, if I accidentally right-click, the program
completely exits. I have been able to reproduce the problem with 100%
success. I'm using Inkscape 0.45.1, build date 2007-03-21 on Fedora Core
6.

Here is the output of gdb:

** (inkscape:24534): WARNING **: Illegal pathcode 204179992

Cannot reproduce. Please list exact steps with maximum detail.

Originator: YES

Just to note, I was also able to reproduce the crash with the same build
running on Vista.

Start Inkscape. Select the Bezier tool. Click once, then click and drag in
a second spot to make a curve. Now click on the original spot to complete a
circle. Before releasing the mouse button, drag to the side to make a
curve. With the primary button still pressed, click the right mouse button.
The program will crash.

I discovered this completely by accident, I'm not just some nut that
randomly clicks combinations of buttons.

Thanks, that helps. I can now reproduce it and will look into it shortly.

I had it systematically on 0.45.1, build date 2007-june, on Debian etch and sid...

It has changed on 0.45.1, build date 2007 september 20, on Ubuntu 7.10 - Gutsy Gibbon - published in october 2007...

The program exits 7/10 directly, or quiet freeze before exiting...

Sorry, (it makes a while that I don't report a bug) and it's my first contribution to inkscape !!) Ups

This bug is no more systematic but is still really present... easy to reproduce:
"Using the bezier tool, while making the last curve of a shape, i.e. the one
that ends at the start point, if I accidentally right-click"

at the same time that i'm left-clicking in order to close the shape,

"the program completely exits."

Hmm--that is troubling that you are seeing it on builds after bulia's fix. I can't reproduce this in current SVN under Linux (Fedora Core 6). Could you try one of the 0.46 preview releases? I tried it about 10 times with no crashes or other problems--the curve just completes normally.

If you can reproduce the crash in a recent build, can you also provide a backtrace? (Instructions at http://www.inkscape.org/report_bugs.php )

Can you also verify that these are the steps that trigger the crash:

"Start Inkscape. Select the Bezier tool. Click once, then click and drag in
a second spot to make a curve. Now click on the original spot to complete a
circle. Before releasing the mouse button, drag to the side to make a
curve. With the primary button still pressed, click the right mouse button.
The program will crash."

I still encounter the same problem on Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886 using crunchbang linux (debian wheezy).

I use the same steps as Jfruchey:

1. open a new document

2. draw a path with bezier tool and close it.

3. While closing it (i.e. left-clicking on the starting node) drag the node (to change the aspect of the curve).

4. Still holding the left mouse button, click the right mouse-button.

5. Inkscape crashes.
