Please notice the core file I have added.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Marc D. (koshy)]

The problem does not occur on Debian buster in Version 3.2-1

[Marc D. (koshy)]

Still happens in 1:3.3-2

I experimented a bit and found that removing the user .xinputrc file solved the problem for me.

Its active contents were:

run_im xim

I do not remember ever having generated the file, although that is possible.

According to im-config, my input method was xim, after deleting the config and logging out of and back into X it now is fcitx.

[Marc D. (koshy)]

The .xinputrc file was from January 2016, so this still is a regression introduced with the upgrade mentioned in the description.

[Matthias Jordan (matjordan)]

Still happens with GnuCash 3.7 in Ubuntu 19.10.
Relevant dmesg lines:

Steps to repro is basically: create a new GnuCash file, navigate to ledger view, press any key to segfault.

This bug is related to Bug 1110862.

Addendum to my previous comment: removing .xinputrc and logging out and in again did actually work for me.
