Pressing ALT, CTRL, SHIFT, CAPS-LOCK, "WIN" or scrolling the mouse cause a segmentation fault. I tried upgrading from 1.62 to 1.68 with new versions but nothing changed... so i start a little debugging session... Well, even with "nostrip" feature the only message on the console is "segmentation fault", only using gdb i found something... --------------------------------- fabio@thor ~ $ gdb scite GNU gdb 6.4 Copyright 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I experience the same.. just after i have upgraded to the stable gtk 2.8. 1.62 was absolutely unusable, and after upgrading to 1.68 i still experience a lot of annoying crashes. for some files the probability of crashing is higher, for others it never crashes. I couldn't find any special triggers in the files, I have files with unicode characters that work just fine. I'm not using pango for rendering because pango is way too slow for my taste. sometimes i have to wait a bit before doing anything with the newly started scite, but often waiting doesnt help. it crashes on pressing alt( e.g. for moving the window around), rightclicking, using the menubar. I have met no other gtk that started segfaulting like scite after the update. two gdb runs resulted in this: --------------------------------- Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

tnx i was thinking to be alone in this universe... ;-) anyway (it's not properly related at this bug but...) how do you exclude pango from rendering (i use gnome, mybe it's the why..)?
it's the little ! in front of the font names that triggers the usage of pango. i have this in my .SciTEUser.properties: --------------------------------- #old and fast, but not really many unicode chars.. if PLAT_GTK font.base=font:lucidatypewriter,size:12 font.small=font:lucidatypewriter,size:10 font.comment=font:new century schoolbook,size:12 font.code.comment.box=$(font.comment) font.code.comment.line=$(font.comment) font.code.comment.doc=$(font.comment) font.text=font:times,size:14 font.text.comment=font:lucidatypewriter,size:10 font.embedded.base=font:lucidatypewriter,size:12 font.embedded.comment=font:lucidatypewriter,size:12 font.monospace=font:!courier,size:12 font.vbs=font:new century schoolbook,size:12 #pango - with the ! if false font.base=font:!lucidatypewriter,size:12 font.small=font:!lucidatypewriter,size:10 font.comment=font:!new century schoolbook,size:12 font.code.comment.box=$(font.comment) font.code.comment.line=$(font.comment) font.code.comment.doc=$(font.comment) font.text=font:!times,size:14 font.text.comment=font:!lucidatypewriter,size:10 font.embedded.base=font:!lucidatypewriter,size:12 font.embedded.comment=font:!lucidatypewriter,size:12 font.monospace=font:!courier,size:12 font.vbs=font:!new century schoolbook,size:12 --------------------------------- be warned though, i can't bring it to render kanji/cyrillic/etc correctly which works just fine with pango.. don't know if it would work with other fonts (pango maybe automatically uses the glyphs from another font?).. but it's much faster.
Same problem here. The bug seems to have something to do with the language mode of the file (I mean, syntax highlighting, etc.) When in "plain text mode", scite is much more stable. Something weird: the bug can happen even when scite does not have focus!!! If I open a (prolog) file and press F5 to launch an interpreter, focus is on the interpreter, but pressing shift still makes scite segfaults :-(
since I have upgraded to scite 1.70 it hasnt happened anymore.. maybe its really fixed now?
i still use 1.68, and seems all ok, after i upgraded to gnome 2.14 (and gtk* 2.8.19)... will we ever know what happened? well speaking strictly like an user... now it's fixed for me too, give me some feedback.;-)
Please use >= 1.70.
