Tomboy crashes when hyperlink clicked

[geoffrey]

Binary package hint: tomboy

After an upgrade to 10.10: when I click on a hyperlink in a Tomboy note, the document or website opens but Tomboy crashes immediately. This did not happen in 10.04.

Hi geoffreym,
I tried to replicate with Ubuntu 10.10 Tomboy v1.4.0 with x86 kernel and couldn't replicate this bug.
I tried opening an hyperlink between two tomboy notes and a hyperlink to the web. Both worked well.

Can you provide more detail for further debugging?

Many thanks in advance,
AM

Hi Adrian,
Thanks for trying to reproduce the bug. I tried running tomboy --debug, but no useful info here: the last line I get is "[DEBUG 11:03:30.346] Opening url 'file:///home/geoffrey/Documents/new.odt'... ", and tomboy just crashes.
I am not sure what other details I can provide. Any ideas?

When I say hyperlink, I mean links to files or folders, and links to the web, not those between two tomboy notes.

Not sure if this is related at all, but another bug I started getting after upgrade is that application launchers on my panel work (the application opens), but get the panel to crash when clicked. Not sure how this can be related, but the similarity is intriguing.

I realise now that this bug is not tomboy-specific. It affects many apps: when I click on an app launcher, the gnome panel crashes. When I open an attachment in Evolution, Evolution crashes. Presumably other apps are affected.
What should I do, open another bug?
