Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 2066] Crash after using any Wireshark Combo Box (gtk_combo
http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2066
------- Comment #8 from wmeier@xxxxxxxxxxx 2007-12-12 22:03 GMT -------
I've determined that the problem is with GTK on Windows in gtk 2.12.2 (&
2.12.3) and glib 2.14.4.
Specifically: a simple test program for the GtkCombo widget crashes in the same
manner that Wireshark crashes.
In addition, I've compiled/linked on Windows the "testgtk" program from the gtk
test suite (part of the gtk sources). It has a test ("Display and Screen")
which uses the GtkCombo widget. After the dropdown on the widget is displayed
in this test, the program crashes when the window is canceled.
I'm submitted a bug report #503326 on bugzilla.gnome.org.
------------
I've no idea whether (or when) this bug might get any attention and a fix.
So:
1. Shall we revert to the previous version of Gtk/Glib for now (as suggested by
Jim) and wait for a while to see if the bug gets fixed or a workaround is
found??
(We could just leave as is and announce the presence of the bug in the
Windows development version. The current Windows development Wireshark will
crash in certain cases (changing the capture interface, using AirPcap
configuration,& etc)).
or:
2. Consider changing gtk_combo to gtk_combo_box (assuming this works).
(A quick look suggests this might not be too much work).
The GtkCombo widget is "deprecated"; Using the GTKComboBox widget requires
GTK 2.4 or greater (and probably 2.6 or greater).
Comments anyone ??
