Kontact crashes on printing Journal-Entries

[Matthias Meyer]

Binary package hint: kdepim

I wrote an entry in the Journal, saved it and clicked on the "print"-Icon in the right upper corner of the entry.
I clicked on "Print Day" and entered as Start and End-Date yesterday ( for which i wrote the entry), so to say 01.10.2008.
Then I clicked "Print" and selected Print to File: pdf.
Yet again, I clicked on Print and Kontact crashed.
This behaviour is always reproducable, no matter what the content of the Journal is, no matter which printer I choose. The only thing that seems to matter is, wether I choose "Print {Day, Week, Month..}" or "Print Incidence", "Print Incidence" works fine.

I straced Kontact and raised the crash, the interesting part:
WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 1) suspended.
WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 2) suspended.
WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 3) suspended.
WeaverThreadLogger: thread (ID: 4) suspended.
QObject::connect: No such signal JournalEntry::configChanged()
QObject::connect: (sender name: 'unnamed')
QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'CalPrinter')
*** KMail got signal 11 (Crashing)
KCrash: Application 'kontact' crashing...

I also attached the .kcrash-File.

Doesn't crash in KDE 4 anymore.

[Matthias Meyer (matthiasrhmeyer)]

Yes, it does.
I added
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main
to my sources.list and installed KDE4 from there.

muetze@kaeffchen:~$ apt-cache policy kontact-kde4

muetze@kaeffchen:~$ kontact --version
Qt: 4.4.1

in the next post, i will add the output of strace kontact ...

Still crashes in KDE4

I was able to reproduce this crash in an updated intrepid using the steps provided in the original report. Backtrace attached

[Richard Birnie (rbirnie-deactivatedaccount)]

This seems to be the same as or at least related to kde bug 160260. Link added

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Fix committed for KDE 4.2 beta2.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

The fix has since been released.
