monkeystudio crashes while displaying menu tooltips

[Evgeni Golov]

[ This bug is barely for me to track the issue, it's fixed upstream ]

[ Impact ]
MkS will currently crash when you click somewhere in the menu and MkS tries to display a tooltip in the statusbar. E.g.: click "View" and then move the mouse down to the possible points.

The upstream patch is at http://websvn.tuxfamily.org/comp.php?repname=monkeystudio%2Fmks&compare[]=/v2/@4459&compare[]=/v2/@4460, I intend to upload a fix to Roaring ASAP and then fix it in Quantal via SRU.

[ Test Case ]
1. Start Monkey Studio
2. Try to click "View" in the menu or hover some icons
3. Expected: statusbar shows a short message what the menu-entry/icon does
   Got: Monkey Studio crashes

[ Regression Potential ]
IMHO low, the patch just makes sure that the codepath is executed once and not in a loop as it happens at the moment.

A fix can be found in my Debian git at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/evgeni/monkeystudio.git;a=commit;h=4e842ae4ca121fb3848cb2ff2ab5a2b3933902b0

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

Attached is a diff against the version in Quantal that should be uploaded as a SRU.

Attached a better version of the debdiff (now with the bug number :))

I installed monkeystudio version 1.9.0.2-2ubuntu0.1 from quantal-proposed and confirm that the fix does indeed work.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package monkeystudio - 1.9.0.2-2ubuntu0.1
