You have been subscribed to a public bug: I am on Ubuntu 10.10 with the default X server, and the following Python code crashes it every time:
from Tkinter import * f=Frame() f.option_add('*font', "-family {DejaVu Sans} -size -25 -weight normal -slant roman -underline 0 -overstrike 0") f.pack() text = StringVar(f) entry = Entry(f, textvariable=text) entry.pack() text.set("a" * 600) f.mainloop() Unfortunately, I was not able to capture a backtrace with apport. I'm using an Asus X58Lseries laptop which I believe is 1280 x 800 (WXGA) using an Intel GMA X3100 graphics chipset. I have set System > Preferences > Appearance > Fonts > Details > Resolution to 160 DPI for a larger display. ** Affects: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- X crashes when I set a Python Tkinter edit control to display a long text string in 25pt DejaVu font https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/731424 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
