[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 754358] Re: Tomboy.exe crashed disabling spell checking: with SIGABRT in g_type_check_instance_cast()

Thu Jul 21 17:58:15 UTC 2011

Hi Chad,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

I was able to confirm this behavior on both Ubuntu Natty (stable
release) and Oneiric (development branch), the latest affected version
seemingly being Tomboy 1.7.1. Due to the time this bug has been under
the radar while being potentially quite disruptive, and as per "moderate
impact on a large portion of Ubuntu users" (since even though it
crashes, you can just restart Tomboy and the preference will be honored)
I'm setting to importance: High.

I'm deleting the stack trace as per bug triaging policy, even though you
state it doesn't contain confidential information, since the retracing
service was unable to obtain useful data from it anyway.

I've also gone ahead and reported the bug upstream for Tomboy 1.7.1. The
trace is slightly different than what you captured here, so I attached a
new trace to the upstream bug report.

Thanks!

Title:
  Tomboy.exe crashed disabling spell checking: with SIGABRT in
  g_type_check_instance_cast()

Status in Tomboy:
  Unknown
Status in “tomboy” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: tomboy

  On a new install (Natty dev. branch) with updated packages, I started
  Tomboy for the first time with 'tomboy --new-note'. I deleted the
  default notes. Then from Edit->Preferences I deselected the option to
  check spelling, which is when it crashed.

  Steps to repeat:
  Delete some note, any note that is open (one is sufficient)
  Edit->Preferences
  Toggle: Check spelling while typing (on or off)

  The crash occurs turning spell check on or off. The crash does not
  occur if I have not previously deleted a note. The crash does not
  occur if I delete a note that was not previously open in this session.
  Given any note that has been open (and may now be closed), delete it,
  then toggle spell check to invoke the crash.

  Not sure if any debug info got attached, gdb said it' couldn't attach
  to the process. Here is the terminal output:
