[Impact] Making screenshot of the current window might result in mate-screenshot crashing.
The fix for this issue is provided in the debdiffs attached to the report. Would be nice to have the fix backported to Zesty and Artful, as the issue breaks one of the common features that users expect to work always. [Test Case] Use Alt-PrintScreen (or "mate-screenshot -w" from the terminal) to grab the current window. As stated in the original description, this should be tried on PowerPC machines to reproduce the bug reliably. In this case, mate-screenshot should crash. Intel/AMD machines may or may not be affected. [Regression Potential] The fix is achieved by removing some unneeded code from mate-screenshot. The code was obtaining window title from the current window, but that title wasn't used by any other parts of code afterwards. The only effect of removing that code is fixing the crash, as it happened exactly in that part. Therefore, there's no place for regressions here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1638835 Title: mate-screenshot crashed with SIGSEGV in gdk_property_get() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mate-utils/+bug/1638835/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
