Package: gnoemoe Version: 2.2.0+dfsg-2 Severity: important Tags: patch MCP crashes when submitting changes from MCP edit-sessions.
I wanted to install Gnoemoe on my wife's laptop to introduce her to MUDs/MOOs/MUVEs, because Gnoemoe appears to be the simplest, most straight-forward client provided by Debian, and includes MCP editing-in-a-window, but this means that Gnoemoe isn't actually usable for her. So, I've traced this to a bug in which line-lengh is being incorrectly calculated, and attached a patch that fixes the problem at the end of this report. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnoemoe depends on: ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.20.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.22.0-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.22.0-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.14-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.20-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libgconf2-4 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.1-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 2.22.1-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeprint2.2-0 2.18.3-1 The GNOME 2.2 print architecture - ii libgnomeui-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.22.0-2 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.9-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtksourceview1.0-0 1.8.5-1 shared libraries for the GTK+ synt ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libnotify1 [libnotify1 0.4.4-3 sends desktop notifications to a n ii liborbit2 1:2.14.12-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.2-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libruby1.8 1.8.6.114-2 Libraries necessary to run Ruby 1. ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libvte9 1:0.16.13-1 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxft2 2.1.12-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxi6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 2:1.0.3-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.31.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-11 compression library - runtime gnoemoe recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
