Public bug reported: 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: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/731424 Title: X crashes when I set a Python Tkinter edit control to display a long text string in 25pt DejaVu font -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
