Subject: [ethereal-dev] Ethereal bug -- Gtk error with colorize display causes crash
Date: Thu, 2 Dec 1999 09:08:34 -0000
Hi,
I may have found a bug in Ethereal, nothing major, but it does cause a
crash.
...
Bug:
When creating colorize filters, it is possible to cause GTK to
crash with the following error report:
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 3445 (gtk_widget_get_style):
assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed.
To reproduce the error:
1. With some traffic captured, select Display->Colorize display
2. Click New for a new filter, give it an filter string (e.g. 'tcp')
3. With the 'Edit color filter' dialogue still displayed, click
the 'Edit' button in Add color to protocols.
4. In the second 'Edit color filter' dialogue, enter a valid
filter string (e.g. 'tcp')
5. OK both dialogues. On OKing the second one, Ethereal exits
with the GTK error.
I guess the problem is allowing two Edit boxes open for the same
filter.
We may want to arrange that, if you try to open an Edit box for a filter
for which we already have an Edit box, we just call the GTK+ function to
raise the existing Edit box (or, to be pedantic, to request that the
window manager raise the existing Edit box).
