alacarte crashed with IndexError in on_item_tree_drag_data_received()

[Omegamormegil]

Binary package hint: alacarte

Running up to date Hardy. This crash occurred after attempting to drag a program shortcut wine created on my desktop via a windows app install into a folder I created in the Main Menu under Wine>Programs. The shortcut was not added to the menu.

This also occurs in Intrepid. It seems to be triggered when dragging into a custom menu (added via "Add Menu" button).

[John C Barstow (jbowtie)]

OK, I've done a little more investigation to see how the crash is triggered.

1) Create a new menu.
2) Drag a shortcut from the desktop into the new menu.

Crash!

But...
1) Create a new folder.
2) Drag a shortcut from the desktop to a previously existing menu.
3) Drag the shortcut from the existing menu to the new menu.

No crash!

confirming, will look upstream, thanks.

I've sent this at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=561805 ; thanks for reporting.

[Sanne Wouda (snnw)]

I submitted a patch to the bug tracker upstream. Should I create a debdiff for quick inclusion in Ubuntu? I'm not an Ubuntu or MOTU developer, so I'll probably need a sponsor to get this into Ubuntu (or we can wait for the next Gnome version:).

Cheers,
Sanne
