Bug 99377 – scite crashes when running from a remote machine

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Shawn Rutledge 2005-07-17 16:47:40 UTC]

If I start scite on a remote machine via ssh w/ X forwarding, it dies as soon as
I click on any menu.  This happens with 1.6.1 and 1.6.2.  I haven't tried with
1.6.3 yet but will soon.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
[proton][04:39:05 PM] ssh nucleus -l root -X
...
[nucleus][04:38:31 PM] scite secs.scm &
[1] 10624

The scite window appears on my X server.
Now I try to select any menu item, and:

The program 'scite' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 2050 error_code 3 request_code 38 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

[1]+  Exit 1                  scite secs.scm

Actual Results:  
scite crashes

Expected Results:  
show the menu  :-)

Can you try with >=1.70 ?
