Yes it is. Though I'm not sure it's the /new/ code's fault as such :
#6 LyXText::Selection::set (this=0xa8) at lyxtext.h:255
#7 0x80eb1fa in LyXText::selectionAsString (this=0x0, buffer=0x0, label=false) at
text2.C:1025
#8 0x8058dbe in BufferView::Pimpl::selectionRequested (this=0x83a9810) at
BufferView_pimpl.C:743
#9 0x81fee82 in SigC::ObjectSlot0_<void, BufferView::Pimpl>::callback (d=0x83aaf94)
at ../sigc++/object_slot.h:56
#10 0x81fed69 in SigC::Callback0<void>::call (this=0x83aaf94) at

#11 0x81fe015 in SigC::Signal0<void, SigC::Marshal<void> >::emit (this=0x83a986c) at
../../../sigc++/basic_signal.h:194
#12 0x80785cb in WorkArea::event_cb (this=0x83a983c, xev=0x83339c0) at WorkArea.C:582
At a guess, what is happening here is that somewhere X is requesting the primary
selection
contents as the window is being destroyed. At least I assume that's where
selectionRequested()
is coming from.
JMarc, what's the best fix do you think ? add if (available()) to selectionRequested()
?
thanks
john
p.s. I'm amazed I didn't come across this the whole time I was running with this patch
;)
