Description Norman Thomas 2004-10-02 04:36:58 UTC

I compiled kile-1.7_beta2 with empty CFLAGS (using gcc 3.3.4) and USE flag "debug" and FEATURES "nostrip" enabled. Running and using kile causes no trouble. The only problem (I noticed until now) is that when trying to configure kile (settings -> configure kile) kile simply crashes. Then the KDE-crashmanager appears, but it seems impossible to follow the error-stack. Sometimes the crashmanager also does not appear.

io ~ # qpkg -i -I -v kile
app-editors/kile-1.7_beta2 *
        A Latex Editor and TeX shell for kde [ http://kile.sourceforge.net ]
Compiled with USE Flags: kde debug arts -xinerama 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. launch kile
2. menu: settings -> configure kile
3.

Actual Results:  
kile crashes with the following output in the console:


kile: ==KileTool::toolList()==================
kile: ==KileTool::Manager::retrieveEntryMap=============
kile:   BibTeX => Tool/BibTeX/Default
kile: ==KileTool::Manager::retrieveEntryMap=============
kile:   BibTeX => Tool/BibTeX/Default
kile: showing pages 2 1
QWidget::setMaximumSize: (m_stackExtra/QWidgetStack) Negative sizes (32767,-1)
are not possible
KCrash: Application 'kile' crashing...


Expected Results:  
the kile configuration dialog show just show up.

This is the strace output of "strace kile 2> kile.strace.log"
"wc -l kile.strace.log" gives 21910

Comment 2 Shayne Flint 2004-10-04 02:07:10 UTC

The problem has also been reported at:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89767

The problem seesm to be Gentoo specific.

Comment 3 Shayne Flint 2004-10-04 07:06:01 UTC

Well, I just did an update of my gentoo distribution (emerge -up world). It updated a bunch of stuff that seemed unrelated, but it fixed the problem. 
 
 kile 1.7b2 now works OK.

Comment 4 Norman Thomas 2004-10-04 08:47:06 UTC

yes, updating packages helps. now kile 1.7_beta2 works here, too.
i updated packages selectively, and i also updated aspell from 0.51 to 6.0.0, so i think maybe it's aspell that caused the crash? or at least, maybe updating to aspell 6.0.0 cures the problem.

I couldn't reproduce this problem. Seems to be a local issue.
