If I press the last slash and something else quickly enough it survives. If I backspace and have the same /home/jani/ path is does not crash. This is the function but could not get a backtrace as the dialog was modal so had to kill gdb. gtk_tree_view_set_fixed_height_mode() not sure if directly called by thunar or via other gtk functions. Some other directories cause this as well but I don't see a pattern yet. other warnings unrelated but which cause the completion box not being properly filled (no entries which should have been there as their prefix matched) Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_tree_view_scroll_to_cell: assertion `tree_view->priv->tree != NULL' failed Reproducible: Always
Sounds like GtkEntryCompletion crashing, as that's the only tree view used within the location dialog/entry. A backtrace would be helpful tho, to be sure. BTW: If compiled with --enable-debug=minimum/no it shouldn't crash atleast, just print the warning. I'd suggest to build the release version for Xubuntu with --enable-debug=minimum.
I could not get a BT because the dialog was modal when it crashed so the whole X was frozen until I killed gdb from the console. Thunar is now built with minimum-debug (to prevent Werror causing failed builds) And I was not clear enough, that warning was there but not related to the crash directly but probably they have a common cause. So the gtktree warning was there when the entry would not complete nicely (not reproducable I had a file starting with ',' and if I deleted it the directory would be completed ok). Weird. When it crashed it just segfaulted with no warning at all.
It's not because the dialog is modal, but because GtkEntry/GtkEntryCompletion grab the pointer. If it crashes without warning (you posted the Gtk-CRITICAL warning earlier, so I thought it would spit out that warning prior to crashing), it's probably a bug in Thunar. Can you run Thunar with ulimit -c unlimited and examine the core file?
ok, I'll try to gather some more data. In the original report I mentioned 'unrelated warnings' but yes, I know it's not good style to put too many issues in the same bug report ;)
Moving to 0.4.0rc1.
