Gaim crashes when opening a message window, pressing
enter once to start a new line and then pressing backspace.

I already opened a bug report about this on sourceforge, but I was told to post it at the gentoo bugzilla.

Comment 1 Paul Winkler 2006-09-07 21:30:04 UTC

I can reproduce this, having just upgraded to gcc 4.1.1.
See also http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1554503&group_id=235&atid=100235
which seems to be the same or very similar bug.

Apparently lots of people are reporting this in the gaim sourceforge tracker and being redirected here...

Clarification - the mouse-movement crash only happens when moving the mouse in a chat window.  With some care I was able to start up, disable auto-login, and then edit preferences with no trouble.  But when a chat is open, gaim crashes as soon as I try to move the mouse away from the chat window.

Comment 3 Zack Panitzke 2006-09-12 17:03:42 UTC

I'm also having this issue.  I disabled the History extension (that displays history in new im windows), and lo, there are no more segfaults.  I wonder if this isn't really a gaim problem, but the gaim devs don't want to touch it because "it's a gentoo bug."

Comment 4 Roger 2006-09-14 20:51:12 UTC

Did you guys try rebuilding x11-libs/gtk+?

A segfault bug occurred for many of us after a gcc-4 upgrade.

# emerge x11-libs/gtk+


Or, if it still persists:

USE=debug emerge gaim

(Make sure all other gaim addons are unemerged.)

Run gaim in gdb:
# gdb gaim

Type in "run" and watch for the last lines indicating a problem with a particular lib.  ie /usr/lib/gtk+*.so

When you compile GTK+ and Gaim with -O3 you'll get this bug.  The Gaim devs don't support non-sane compile flags.  Please recompile GTK+ and Gaim with -O2.

Comment 6 Paul Winkler 2006-09-25 07:14:14 UTC

Thanks Aaron, re-emerging gtk+ and gaim with CFLAGS=-O2 seems to fix it.

What I don't understand from looking at the ebuild for gaim 1.5.0 and gtk+ 2.8.19, it looks like the ebuild should already replace my CFLAGS with -O2, but apparently this didn't happen. Will investigate further.

Closing this bug as it was related to bug 133469 which is closed now.
