A patch was submitted to the Debian BTS concerning a similar type of bug in xcolorsel.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785307 which when applied to xcolorsel source stops xcolorsel from crashing. The patch is a one line call to XawTextSetSelection to effectively "initialize" the starting position to 0. If a similar patch is added to callbacks.c at line 269 to initialize the starting position to 0 (with the end position set also 0 to avoid annoyingly highlighting the text in the document pane from the zero position to say the calculated "beg" or "end" position, with the now second call of XawTextSetSelection doing the actual highlighting of the found string) + XawTextSetSelection(wi->text, 0, 0) the crash in XawTextSetSelection to go to the actual position of the found string no longer occurs,thus curing the bug. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #785307 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=785307 ** Attachment added: "Patch to initialize XawTextSetSelection starting position to 0" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xless/+bug/1198758/+attachment/5059415/+files/xless-1.7-callbacks.c-patch.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1198758 Title: xless 1.7 -- segmentation fault in libXaw using search dialog popup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xless/+bug/1198758/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
