eog freezing / hanging on some svg (also freezes nautilus?)

[Stephan Saalfeld]

Binary package hint: eog

eog freezes / hangs on attempting to render some svg files (the file might have broken links to images). I suspect this to be the origin of Nautilus freezing / hanging too in folders containing these files. Attached a backtrace. I tested this with both eog and rsvg-view: eog freezes, rsvg-view successfully renders the file (though incomplete, but that doesn't matter). I did not have time yet to narrow this down in the svg itself, the file is quite big and complicated. If, despite the attached backtrace, you need more information, I can also provide a questionable file.

May you please attach the file causing the hang? thanks.

[Stephan Saalfeld (saalfeld)]

Ok. I just spent the time to minimize. eog hangs when there is a tif image linked from svg, it is irrelevant whether the file is linked relatively or with absolute paths. Attached an Inkscape generated example svg that contains nothing but a single tif image. Unpack the file into any directory

tar xjf test.tar.bz2

and try to view it

rsvg-view test.svg

works

eog test.svg

hangs

Thanks for looking at this.

Umm, in comment 3 you seem to have attached the tiff image instead of an "svg that contains nothing but a single tif image".

[Stephan Saalfeld (saalfeld)]

Jesus---where's my brain?! You are right---attached the actual bzipped svg test.

Seems to be duplicate of Bug 409409.

Sure? Note that Nautilus does not hang at thumbnailing this file (did you test this?). I have other svg-files that trigger the Nautilus-problem, but none of them has embedded tif files, they link to tif files, some of them may be with broken paths, I wasn't able to find the respective place. Note as well, that rsvg-view hangs with the files that trigger the Nautilus-problem, but not with this particular test presented here.

This happens again in Ubuntu 11.10

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
