Opening document properties crashes Inkscape

[Edd Barrett]

Hi,

This bug seems to apply toatleast inkscape inkscape-0.48.4 and inkscape-0.48.2 on OpenBSD-current/amd64 and possibly others too.

Upon opening the "Document properties" dialog, Inkscape will crash. A trace is attached.

I would tell you the name of the icon that it is trying to load, but it seems the name is wrapped up in glib goo:

#9 0x00000010c6e7bda5 in DockItem (this=0x12ea47ae10, dock=Variable "dock" is not available.
) at ui/widget/dock-item.cpp:51
51 _icon_pixbuf = iconTheme->load_icon(icon_name, width);
Current language: auto; currently c++
(gdb) p icon_name
$1 = (const Glib::ustring &) @0x7f7ffffd1140: {static npos = 18446744073709551615, string_ = {static npos = 18446744073709551615,
    _M_dataplus = {<std::allocator<char>> = {<__gnu_cxx::new_allocator<char>> = {<No data fields>}, <No data fields>},
      _M_p = 0x12ea477898 "gtk-properties"}}}

I thought this could be related to #1125620, but the patch seems to have been committed a while ago.

FWIW I have the following icon themes installed:
gnome-icon-theme-3.10.0p0 base icon theme for GNOME
gnome-icon-theme-symbolic-3.10.0p0 base icon theme extension for special UI contexts
hicolor-icon-theme-0.12p2 fallback theme of the icon theme specification

Thanks

Bug #1125620 was specific to Windows development snapshot builds (inkscape trunk & win32 devlibs), and did not affect current or older stable Inkscape versions (neither on Windows nor on other platforms).

Your issue looks very similar to
- Bug #658055 “inkscape crashes when opening document properties”
  <https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/658055>
though that one was fixed with the release of Inkscape 0.48.1(2011-01-28).

I have isolated this to an issue with using tango icon theme. Although I don't use a desktop environment like KDE/GNOME (I'm running awesome WM), I do have a .gtkrc-2.0 which contains the following line:

    gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango"

If I comment this line, I am able to use the document properties dialog. Inkscape should work with any icon theme?

Cheers

And tango is not installed, so this is probably your bug. Inkscape crashes if it is told to use a non-existent icon theme.

[su_v (suv-lp)]

Can't reproduce the crash in a non-GNOME enviroment (OS X) with either variation (Tango icon theme installed & used, not installed but referenced in the gtkrc file), with various versions of GTK2, gtkmm and GLib (up to the latest GTK+ 2.24.21 and GLib 2.38.0).

This affects me too. I am compiling Inkscape 0.48.x (not sure at this point how to determined specific "x") on OS X Mavericks, using clang. Right after I open Inkscape if I open Document Properties it will crash right away. The variants I use are python27 and x11.

Just found out that it is 0.48.99 that I have installed.

0.48.x is the stable series (in MacPorts: port 'inkscape'), x is the number of the bugfix release (currently: 0.48.4, planned: 0.48.5). The stable 'inkscape' port in MacPorts doesn't precisely reflect the upstream version though (because 0.48.4 as is fails to build with clang): MacPorts installs 0.48.4 plus all changes in the stable release branch since the release of 0.48.4).

> Just found out that it is 0.48.99 that I have installed.

'0.48.99' is MacPorts' versioning scheme for Inkscape trunk (port inkscape-devel), not equal to upstream. Inkscape trunk itself identifies as '0.48+devel' with the revision number appended:

$ inkscape -V
Inkscape 0.48+devel r13272 (Apr 6 2014)

The current portfile in MacPorts is at r13261:
> set bzr_rev 13261
<https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/graphics/inkscape-devel/Portfile>

Please retry with the latest version.

Closing due to lack of response and it being unlikely that this bug is still relevant in current versions of Inkscape. If you still have a similar issue, please open a new bug. Thank you!
