In terminal preference / colors: clicking one of the color buttons in the Palette section and trying to change its color causes a crash.

Are you supposed to be able to change these? If not, then could you make it so it doesn't crash if you try?
Comment 1 Nick Schermer editbugs 2009-08-17 06:12:43 CEST
Works fine here. If you run 'terminal --disable-server' in another terminal and change the color, does it print any warnings/errors? Could you provide a backtrace?
Comment 2 Robert 2009-08-17 08:56:44 CEST
I haven't been able to determine a sequence to reliably reproduce this bug.  When it occurs there is no backtrace just a segfault.

While trying to find a way to reproduce it, I got to the point where I couldn't get it to crash no matter what I did!

I only noticed it and thought it worth reporting because it first crashed while I had complicated sessions running in other tabs, I was a bit annoyed :)

On reflection, its probably not important. I'll have to remember not to play with the config while I have other work in progress.
Comment 3 Nick Schermer editbugs 2009-08-17 09:00:52 CEST
Well I you find a way to reproduce it, you could compile with debugging support (--enable-debug=full) and run the terminal in gdb:

gdb terminal
run --disable-server
<way for crash>
bt
<attach output on bugzilla>

It should never crash, very simple, whether you have 1 or a whole bunch of terminals opened.
Comment 4 Nick Schermer editbugs 2009-12-06 19:02:49 CET
If was possible to crash in the color read code (not very likely, but still), this should now be fixed. Please re-open if you can still reproduce this.
