Package: zim
Version: 0.76.3-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Since upgrading python3-gi to 3.56.1-2 from 3.54.5-7+b1
I get:
```
This is zim 0.76.3
Platform: posix
Locale: fr_FR UTF-8
FS encoding: utf-8
Python: (3, 13, 12, 'final', 0)
PyGObject: (3, 56, 1)
======= Traceback =======
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/zim/gui/pageview/__init__.py", line 943,
in set_page
self.textview.set_buffer(buffer)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/zim/gui/pageview/textview.py", line 177,
in set_buffer
self._object_widgets.remove(child)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^
File "/usr/lib/python3.13/_weakrefset.py", line 113, in remove
self.data.remove(ref(item))
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: <weakref at 0x7f7d15c38e50; to
'zim.gui.pageview.objectanchors.LineSeparator' at 0x7f7d15cfd580>
```
when opening a page with a line separator (more than two hyphens, ie
'---')
It is told in upstream report that it triggers after moving a page with
a line separator. I cannot confirm but at least as of now it triggers
every time I open a page with a line separator (I might have moved such
a page previously but it is not needed to move a page each time, or at
least simply only opening a page is enough now).
"KeyError weakref zim.gui.pageview.objectanchors.LineSeparator after moving
pages"
https://github.com/zim-desktop-wiki/zim-desktop-wiki/issues/2934
I don't know if this is a python3-gi regression bug or an old zim bug
that only triggers with the newer python3-gi thus bugging zim first.
Once this error triggers I cannot edit the page.
The expected outcome is to be able to edit pages with a line separator
inside.
Cheers
Alban
