The broken code is in reportbug. Reassigning back. This bug is a case of broken code being exposed by a bug fix elsewhere. Reportbug was trying to use sys.exit() to exit the program, which does not work reliably when threading is involved as in the GTK UI. Due to a bug in python it had only appeared to work.

Tracked this down to the commit below in python 3.9. Reverting it fixes the problem. 94d19f606fa18a1c4d2faca1caf2f470a8ce6d46 is the first bad commit commit 94d19f606fa18a1c4d2faca1caf2f470a8ce6d46 Author: Victor Stinner Date: Mon Sep 27 23:40:22 2021 +0200 bpo-1596321: Fix threading._shutdown() for the main thread (GH-28549) (GH-28589) Fix the threading._shutdown() function when the threading module was imported first from a thread different than the main thread: no longer log an error at Python exit.

Hello GTK/Gnome experts, Would you be able to help with #1000200? Reportbug's GTK UI does not close properly any more. It works fine in bullseye, and there was no change in reportbug that could have caused this change in behaviour.

Does this happen in all stages of the graphical dialog from the initial welcome screen to the last thank you screen? Does the problem also occur when you use some other window manager or desktop environment, or is the problem specific to fluxbox? Do you observe similar issues with other GTK applications? Since you say it used to work, can you try to narrow down when it stopped working? Which specific change triggered the difference between working and not working? Was there an upgrade of some particular package involved?

Package: reportbug-gtk Version: 11.1.0 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? When using reportbug-gtk I now cannot close it (the window) anymore, not even after sending the email. I can minimize it, but not close. I have to open a VT and pkill or ctrl-C it (when opened in a VT) * What outcome did you expect instead? It used to work, and klicking the "x" in the title bar should close it. *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.15.2-4-siduction-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages reportbug-gtk depends on: ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.24.30-3 ii gir1.2-gtksource-4 4.8.2-1 ii gir1.2-vte-2.910.66.1-1 ii python3-gi 3.42.0-2 ii python3-gi-cairo 3.42.0-2 ii python3-gtkspellcheck 4.0.5-2 ii reportbug 11.1.0 reportbug-gtk recommends no packages. reportbug-gtk suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
