Public bug reported: I have experienced this problem with Gedit (standard Ubuntu 5.10 installation) and with Bluefish 1.04 (compiled on my dual opteron), so it might be a gtk problem.
A file with long lines - e.g.:- http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/area/uk/ge59/maj.htm will cause the editors to crash if you try to scroll down the document by dragging the scroll bar down with the mouse. In the terminal, Bluefish gives:- (bluefish:15351): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file: assertion `filename != NULL' failed (bluefish:15351): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file: assertion `filename != NULL' failed the dir_icon and unknown_icon items in the config file are invalid The application 'bluefish' lost its connection to the display :0.0; most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed the application. While Gedit gives:- The program 'gedit' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'. (Details: serial 30590 error_code 16 request_code 1 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.)
