Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

I searched for 'mandelbrot' and double-clicked 'Xaos - Fractal Zoomer'. Software Center went gray and stopped responding, consuming 100% CPU time. The gdb backtrace seems to indicate that it's in an infinite loop of signal/event handling.

Brian, thanks for reporting this problem, and sorry for the long delay in responding. This is not, as 3esmit suggested, a duplicate of bug 641899 (for reasons I explained there). However, I am unable to reproduce this problem following the steps you provided, and the code has changed a lot since you reported it, so it's likely fixed anyway. If you still do have the problem, please reopen this report.
