[Bug 58175] Re: Kate hangs on spellcheck

[Tom S.]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: kate
  
  Kate hangs on spellcheck (i.e. after selecting "Tools > Spelling",
  "Tools > Spelling (from cursor)" or "Tools > Spellcheck Selection")
  reporting:
  
  ASSERT: "i <= nodes" in /usr/share/qt3/include/qvaluelist.h (373)
  
  According to gdb via KDbg, this is asserted by:
  
  QValueListPrivate<QString>::at () from /usr/lib/libkateinterfaces.so.0
  KateSpell::spellcheck () from /usr/lib/kde3/libkatepart.so
  KateSpell::spellcheck () from /usr/lib/kde3/libkatepart.so
  KateSpell::qt_invoke () from /usr/lib/kde3/libkatepart.so
  QObject::activate_signal () from /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3
  ...
  
- By my naive reading, the output of strace somewhat implausibly suggests
- that only the last 39 entries returned by getdents64() are examined by
- KSpellConfig::interpret() before this Qt assertion failure. (I suppose
- that the */l10n/*/entry.desktop files are opened by a call to
- KGlobal::locale()->twoAlphaToCountryName() from
- KSpellConfig::interpret().)
+ The output of strace shows 23 */l10n/*/entry.desktop files being opened
+ by a call to KGlobal::locale()->twoAlphaToCountryName() from
+ KSpellConfig::interpret() before this Qt assertion failure. However,
+ this is irrelevant (comment to follow).
  
  System:
  
   * Kubuntu 6.06.1 LTS
   * AMD Athlon 64 Processor 4000+
   * kate 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu27
   * /usr/lib/aspell is on a LVM2 XFS partition
