inkscape crashes with gtk-oxygen gtk2 theme in editing-gradient-tool

[Sandra Karuving]

1. open inkscape and draw a box
2. open the color/gradient tool
3. select a gradient for the box
4. open the edit gradient tool
5. try to switch to the secound color of the gradient in this toolwindows -> crash

This happens here only with oxygen-gtk. the other style "raleigh" isnt effected. other styled are not tested by me

Terminal output:

Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_paint_layout: assertion `style->depth == gdk_drawable_get_depth (window)' failed
The program 'inkscape' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 51194 error_code 8 request_code 140 minor_code 3)
  (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.)

1. open inkscape
2. draw a box
3. set background type gradient
4. click edit gradient
5. switch to the secound color -> crash

Happens every time

when I switch to gtk theme raleigh inkscape will not crash so i reported it here.

Can't reproduce with Inkscape 0.47pre4. What's your version?

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

Can't reproduce with inkscape 0.48.1 either.
Please specify version
(and version of oxygen-gtk)

[Fabian B (fabidesu-deactivatedaccount)]

inkscape --version
Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886 (Mar 6 2012)

on Launchpad I found something similar: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/948178

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

So ... it seems like a "regression" in inkscape. I'd recommend to file a bug directly to them. possibly adding a pointer to this page. Doesn't mean that we can't fix it, but it might be easier on their side. Besides, I will only be able to try fix once my inkscape version is updated ...

Hugo

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

PS: also, version 0.48.3 is apparently still tagged "unstable" by inkscape devs. Stable would be 0.48.2. Can you try downgrade inkscape and tell me if the crash still happens ?

[Fabian B (fabidesu-deactivatedaccount)]

inkscape --version
Inkscape 0.48.2 r9819 (Jul 11 2011)

same
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.

will report that to the inkscape project too

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

... interestingly, I just compiled and installed version 0.48.3.1, and still can't reproduce.
Just to make sure that we are talking about the same thing:

That's the dialog that crashes for you (when you click on the drop down list) . Correct ?

Also: what oxygen-gtk version are you using ?

Yep: for better understanding here a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXbEOu6wn1E
> Also: what oxygen-gtk version are you using ?
Oxygen-gtk is V1.2.1

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

Thanks for the video.
Sadly enough, that's exactly what I did, and with no crash.
Can you also provide your gtk+ version
(running out of ideas here I must say)

[Fabian B (fabidesu-deactivatedaccount)]

I really dont know how to get the gtk version. my packagemanager calls them
"2.24.10-0ubuntu5"

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

ok !
I have 2.24.9
I guess I should update that too :)

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

... still no luck with gtk+-2.24.10 (compiled manually) ....
seems inkscape is rock solid here ...

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

ok. On my "other" computer, I am able to reproduce. Investigating.

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

ok. I 'think' I was able to track it down to an issue with latest glib.
Using glib-2.31.20 -> crash
Using glib-2.31.18 -> no Crash

@Ruslan:
The crash here is actually related to the issue you have in gimp when (image->scale_canvas), change unit.
using glib-2.31.20 -> new unit does not appear
glib-2.31.18 -> unit does appear.

So, with you seing the gimp bug you should also be able to reproduce the inkscape crash (can you ?)
In both cases they are due to depth mismatch.

In which case. Can you reproduce my observation when downgrading glib ?
If yes
1/ that would be good news
2/ I might even be able to track the guilty change in glib

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

ok. I have
1/ a dirty fix: trigger on size-request event rather than parent-set event to re-attach style (that fixes the depth mismatch), cause the later is apparently not working any more, but the former does. This is very innefficient
2/ a possible clean (and even cleaner than before) fix, to use a Signal rather that a Hook, on parent-set event, attached to all GtkMenuItem's children.

Still working on 2/, and I'll push it to master as soon as done, for testing.

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

... crap. This fixes inkscape, but not gimp.
Committed too soon.

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

my bad. Wrong compilation.
It actually does fix both inkscape and gimp.
So closing.
Ruslan: please double check (at least for gimp)

I'll merge to 1.2 and gtk3 in a couple of days.

[Hugo Pereira Da Costa (hugo-pereira)]

PS: thanks for reporting !

[Fabian B (fabidesu-deactivatedaccount)]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295803 Has a fix for it. Its something related to glib 2.31.20

[Ruslan (b7-10110111)]

Yes, fixed for both inkscape and gimp (I was able to reproduce this bug with glib-2.31.20).

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Based on the latest comments in <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295803> - can we close this report as 'Invalid' for the project 'Inkscape'?

[Sandra Karuving (lumks)]

or as fixed. yes. i can not reproduce this anymore

[su_v (suv-lp)]

> or as fixed. yes. i can not reproduce this anymore

There had been no changes in Inkscape's code base - the fix was upstream in the Oxygen gtk2-engine.

Closing as 'Invalid' for Inkscape - feel free to reopen if you have additional information that the conflict in Oxygen's gtk2 theme engine with certain (unstable) versions of glib need to be addressed in Inkscape's code as well.
