Description Frank Peters 2009-04-26 16:24:02 UTC

Cooledit-3.17.17 crashes with no file loaded when attempting to enter text.  This has been traced to some sort of python issue.  Compiling cooledit without defining the HAVE_PYTHON variable will solve this issue.

I have no patch for this problem because the HAVE_PYTHON variable is defined during the configure potion of the build.  After configure, the HAVE_PYTHON variable can be deleted from the config.h file.  Running make will then create a cooledit executable that does not crash.

This bug is in addition to a previous report (#267536) of a separate issue that has been corrected by suppling a patch.

Compiling cooledit without the python bindings by eliminating the HAVE_PYTHON variable seems to solve this issue completely.

Cooledit uses python as an extension language for custom scripting but its removal has no effect on the ordinary editing capabilities.
