XI_BadDevice - Crash after undocking Lenovo laptop

[Matt Reid]

If I have Inkscape open on my Lenovo T520 while I'm docked, undock it, and try to edit something with the cursor tool, Inkscape crashes. This is on Fedora 15 with inkscape-0.48.1-4.fc15.x86_64. A coworker experiences a similar crash on their x220, with the same version of Fedora and Inkscape. The same crash occurs if Inkscape is on my primary or secondary display.

I ran tail -f /var/log/Xorg.9.log prior to undocking, and there were no additional outputs. I've attached my gdb backtrace, but the main error seems to be -
Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'inkscape' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'XI_BadDevice (invalid Device parameter)'.
 (Details: serial 27478 error_code 149 request_code 141 minor_code 13)
 (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
  that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
  To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
  option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
  backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Likely the same underlying issue as in
 Bug #474954 in Inkscape: “crashes when USB input device is disconnected”
 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/474954>
See also the backtrace in other duplicate bug #818543, comment #5.

(backtrace formatted in LO, seriously? ;-) )

Sorry about that.

Looks like you're correct, I just had Inkscape running and disconnected the USB mouse attached to my docking station and got it to crash by clicking. To add to that though, if I have the text tool selected before hand, I can click on text and edit it fine, but when I click on a rectangle, that's when it crashes.

I forgot to add a 'SCNR' ;)

Would you agree to link your report as duplicate to bug #474954, to allow easier tracking the issue in a single report?

[Matt Reid (zeeboreid)]

Sure, I'm fine with that.
