I spent half a day to understand it (the continued reports and confirmations on Fedora's Bugzilla on the corresponding bug drove me mad :D ), so - despite the one-line diff, this was a bit complicated, especially me not having hacked in Python for quiet some time...
The test passes, because the exception that triggers Ubuntu's and Fedora's crash report tools unfortunately doesn't interrupt the test run. I played around with G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings in the environment and this may be necessary for the exception to be raised (otherwise Python is blind anyway). But even the exception being raised obviously doesn't crash the test hard enough, presumeably because it happens in an async event handler (the async tree view update). That's why I empty the GTK message queue in the test.
Maybe - for testing purposes - making the treeview update in the main thread would make the test fail, but I didn't have the time to check if this is (easily) possible. -> TODO ?!
btw.: to reproduce the reported problem "live", one has to move the last child of any sub-tree and that child must be displayed (and selected in the treeview) before being moved. Then the treepath (the tuple of ints) becomes invalid and crashes the treeview update when it tries to get an iter for the invalid tuple. When another child is used, the treepath remains valid (it just refers to the wrong page, which isn't noticed). When the moved page isn't displayed, the critical treeview line isn't touched in the problematic update.

Hi Jaap,
Thanks for the feedback!
I spent half a day to understand it (the continued reports and confirmations on Fedora's Bugzilla on the corresponding bug drove me mad :D ), so - despite the one-line diff, this was a bit complicated, especially me not having hacked in Python for quiet some time...
The test passes, because the exception that triggers Ubuntu's and Fedora's crash report tools unfortunately doesn't interrupt the test run. I played around with G_DEBUG= fatal_warnings in the environment and this may be necessary for the exception to be raised (otherwise Python is blind anyway). But even the exception being raised obviously doesn't crash the test hard enough, presumeably because it happens in an async event handler (the async tree view update). That's why I empty the GTK message queue in the test.
Maybe - for testing purposes - making the treeview update in the main thread would make the test fail, but I didn't have the time to check if this is (easily) possible. -> TODO ?!
btw.: to reproduce the reported problem "live", one has to move the last child of any sub-tree and that child must be displayed (and selected in the treeview) before being moved. Then the treepath (the tuple of ints) becomes invalid and crashes the treeview update when it tries to get an iter for the invalid tuple. When another child is used, the treepath remains valid (it just refers to the wrong page, which isn't noticed). When the moved page isn't displayed, the critical treeview line isn't touched in the problematic update.
Hope this explains a bit.
Cheers, Fabian
