zenity crashed with SIGSEGV in zenity_tree_dialog_response()

[RC Lages]

TESTCASE:
* run "zenity --list --column="bug" --checklist option"
* click any of the button
* it segfaults without the update, it works with it

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

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

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

There is a fix upstream:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/zenity/commit/?id=4a30be17b3adfd7b8383f5c23fae71e31933326b

[Cesar Silva (cmsv20)]

Expected to continue but to select the Spanish language gave an error application and was closed

[Fabrizio Balliano (fabrizio-balliano)]

seems fix is released by zenity team

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

Hello Ronaldo, or anyone else affected,

Accepted into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Zenity no longer crashes for me (it was being called from audio-convert). Thanks.

This was not fixed in quantal yet, and quantal has a newer version, so we cannot copy from precise-proposed.

this update introduces bug 995435

[Julian Taylor (jtaylor)]

proper patch applied upstream:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/zenity/commit/?id=127c298ac43cbdf3b965002e7e9115571ca1d90d

[Julian Taylor (jtaylor)]

there are still more issues lingering in this code, e.g. endless loop on cancel due to channel use after shutdown:

I have many scripts with Zenity, with the update to 12.04 many now don't work, there is no message and CPU usage rises progressively. I was testing with this snippet:

ls -1 * | zenity --list --column="Files" --text="" --title=""

. . always worked in past, not now. No error messages. Have the latest Zenity [3.4.0-0ubuntu3]

[futurefx (force)]

when fix will arrive for 12.04, i cannot use UCK because of that.

[Mike Birchley (mbirchley)]

Updates 3.4.0-0ubuntu4 fixed most of my problems, thanks to developers. Minor quibble is the scale option, mouse wheel used to scroll the bar, not working now, but keyboard still works. Thanks for all the hard work.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

zenity (3.4.0-2) unstable; urgency=low
...
  * debian/patches/02_fix_segfault_in_listview.patch: Fix segfault when using
    --list option. Patch cherry-picked from upstream Git. Closes: #668292

I was directed to bug 973361 after a Unity 2D crash. Screen before Unity 2D error:
"Please read /user/share/doc/im-switch/README.Debian.gz
No user configuration enabled for es_ES.
Restart the X session to activate the selected input Method".
Unity 2D fails a lot!
