With 1.6.1 installed I get what appears to be the same crash. I'm using
spell-checker=internal, to avoid rebuilding gspell; the issue seems to be that
enchant lists no available dictionaries, and Balsa is unprepared for handling
that!
So the immediate fix is to have Balsa gracefully disable spell-checking when no
dictionaries can be found--that should be a straightforward patch. Longer term,
we need to find out why 1.6.1 lists no dictionaries when 1.6.0 lists several.
1. Master has been patched to cope with a situation where no spell-checker
dictionary is found.
2. One reason that Balsa finds no dictionaries when built with enchant-1.6.1
seems to be that it looks for myspell/*.dic in /usr/share/myspell/dicts, while
earler versions expected them to be in /usr/share/myspell/ (or at least that's
where hunspell-en-0.20140811.1-9.fc27.noarch installs them).
3. Even with the patch to master, and with a symlink "sudo ln -s /usr/share/myspell/
/usr/share/myspell/dicts" to make the dictionaries visible to enchant-1.61, I
*still* get a SEGV when opening a compose window. The attached program should reproduce
the crash, but, when I test it, it does some of the time and not others. So I'm quite
mystified by the issue :-(
Best,
Peter
