Windows build crash?
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/27227caa0e637da4dd64bcd7d0c70f5d.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hi people,
I'm experiencing a problem with the 0610072339 build, available from http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/?M=D. I'm running it on a Windows 2000 system, but it also happens on a WinXP system at home.
Recipe: - open Inkscape - choose Text tool, click canvas, type text - choose Arrow tool
Result: "Inkscape encountered an internal error and will close now. Automatic backups ..." and so on.
I did a backtrace and included it below (hope I did it correctly, let me know if not). I hope it helps to isolate the problem...
Regards, Arnout

Could anyone please confirm this? I'm not sure if this is specific to my system or not... in any case, the 0610110200 build still shows the same problem.
Thanks a lot, Arnout

I can confirm that with Win2k and latest build. Any switching to Selector tool from any other tool crashes, you don't even need to create a text. On XP it's ok, though.
Arnout, can you please download older builds and find out when this started?

Yes, I can confirm it for 0609010403.7z at least. And I reported the same behaviour before that but people (including myself) were too busy to resolve it. I'll try and check up when I reported it first but it was months ago and I put a bug report in or at least confirmed an existing one. Erik

while you're on the topic of crashes. i get this inkscape start message on w2k. i don't get it on win xp. 2 clicks makes it go away and the program launches.

I get that in XP, but intermittently. Not sure what it is, but I reckon it has something to do with GTK as I've seen similar things happen in the past (eg. Gimp on Windows became unusable for me with that problem).

Bulia, a few things on this problem which I got on Win2k.
1. I believe this one goes back at least to build 0607281436.zip, because I was reporting this at the time. See my messages of around 30-31/7/06. I got error messages shown in my posts of this time. [Inkscape-devel] Windows Hassles HELP!. was " Updated PDF printingwith Cairo"
I tried to sort it out with Bob Jamison but had to let it go due to time pressures.
2. I gave up worrying about it when version 0.44.1-1.win32 came out. The problem is not there. This may be useful for Arnout to know.
3. I simply have not tried to get any nightly builds to work since then.
4. I have just confirmed that 0610072339.7z still shows this problem.

That's a really bad bug. I'd like to request help from people who can build for windows: we need to test timed builds to figure out at what time this crept in. The web site only has a few recent builds, not very helpful. Anyone?

I believe I filed a bug about this a while back actually -- it's not a Windows-specific problem; on Unix there are similar crashes with certain X servers (e.g. Xvnc).
To the best of my recollection, the problem appears to be some detail with inappropriate cleanup of the tool's cursor resource in src/event-context.cpp; possibly a GDK refcounting issue. Unfortunately I have not had time to investigate the relevant code in depth.
