Package: inkscape
Version: 0.46-9
Severity: important
After upgrading Inkscape from 0.46-6 to 0.46-8, it started crashing
with the following error on some files.
The program 'inkscape' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 15628 error_code 3 request_code 3 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
I determined that this only happens when Inkscape opens a file
containing the inkscape:window-width and/or inkscape:window-height
attributes. Of course, Inkscape seems to include these in every file it
saves, so this is true of every file I have. Inkscape does not crash if
I remove these attributes from the file. Also, it crashes immediately if
I run inkscape somefile.svg (where somefile.svg includes the window
width/height attributes). But if I just run inkscape, then do
File-Open-somefile.svg, it does not crash. If I then do
File-Open-somefile.svg a second time, it does crash.
Inkscape continued to crash after I downgraded to 0.46-6, with the same
behavior. Apparently, there is an interaction with libgtk2.0-0, which
was upgraded to version 2.16.1-2 when I upgraded inkscape. When I
downgraded gtk to 2.14.7-5, the problem disappeared (using inkscape
0.46-6).
So perhaps in the end this is a gtk problem, but I can't tell without
examining the Inkscape source. I was hoping you could try to find the
problem. In the mean time, I'll stick with an old Inkscape and gtk.
Thanks!
