The tool->canvas is only set on tool_palette.c on_tool_select() at line 400:
    canvas_set_tool(canvas_lookup(GTK_WIDGET(tb->widget)), tb->tool);
Which means the users have to click the text-tool button at least once to set the tool->canvas to avoid the crash.

Please report the bug to upstream. Thanks.

This is intrepid?

[Caroline Ford (secretlondon)]

I can reproduce on Hardy.

You need to click the box with font and size *before* you select the text tool. If you have selected the text tool it doesn't crash.

[Caroline Ford (secretlondon)]

confirming

[Caroline Ford (secretlondon)]

I wonder if bug #208435 and bug #194990 are the same bug? (bug #194990 has retraced stack traces).

[Caroline Ford (secretlondon)]

It looks like at least bug #194990 is a duplicate.

Here's a patch to fix this issue. I'm including this in the (not uploaded yet) 0.3.3-2 revision of the package in Debian. Complete source for what's going to be uploaded to Debian may be found at http://git.debian.org/?p=users/goedson/pkg-gpaint.git;a=summary

[Caroline Ford (secretlondon)]

Thanks!

When do you think you'll get it in debian as it's a lot easier to sync
it from debian than patch it ourselves and have a delta.

I'm just waiting for gpaint 0.3.3-1.1 to migrate into lenny before I
upload this to sid.
According to http://qa.debian.org/excuses.php?package=gpaint it's only
waiting for the sparc's binary upload (which has already been built
since September 23). So, I can't tell you for sure when this upload
will be done. But I hope it will be soon.

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Hi Martin. I have tested your gpaint fix and it works as intended on my machine. When I launch gpaint the font control is disabled. I was able to create various fonts with different text etc and also when I select a non-text tool the font control gets disabled again. I was not able to make it crash again using this bug.

One question though, please commit the fix for intreprid as well. I only see the fix in proposed for hardy.
Also I'm curious, did you submit the patch upstream as well?

[Caroline Ford (secretlondon)]

It's from Debian.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package gpaint - 0.3.3-2

---------------
gpaint (0.3.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/20_fix_line_width_combo.dpatch: Add missing line
    widths (5, 7 and 9).
  * debian/patches/10_fix_crash_on_font_select.dpatch: Make the font
    selection button active only when the text tool is selected,
    avoiding a crash that occurs if the user selects a font without
    selecting the text tool. (Closes: #497201) (LP: #262889)
  * debian/control: Added packaging Vcs information.
  * debian/patches/11_fix_image_rotation.dpatch: Use the
    gdk_pixbuf_rotate_simple function to do image rotation in multiples
    of 90 degrees (Closes: #497487) (LP: #262942)
