Public bug reported:
Affects: eog (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
there is a very big bug in EOG 2.14.1 present in dapper: start a slideshow,
then cancel it using ESCAPE. you'll likely trigger a crash.
according to the upstream bug report it's mostly when you cancel when a new
image just appeared in the slideshow. but for me it's all the time.
i think the bug is very critical. dapper doesn't look good at all if the image
viewer crashes just by doing a slideshow. for now upstream didn't fix it yet.
this is a request that ubuntu developers consider distributing the fix in
dapper as soon as it's applied in CVS (assuming it will be applied on time),
even if EOG developers don't make a release, and even if it's quite late in
dapper schedule.
i think it's a very serious bug like the nautilus crash on right click
"make archive" was in breezy, that required to upload the fix in breezy-
updates since so many people where hitting it.
