By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Bug 429

Summary:	Kicker crashes because of Esc key
Product:	TDE	Reporter:	Luc <lucmove>

Description Luc 2011-02-03 00:05:43 CST

I press Ctrl+Esc to bring up the application menu - the one on the far left end of the taskbar/Kicker. The menu opens up so I can select an application to run. I change my mind, I don't want to run any application anymore, so instead of selecting an application, I press Esc to dismiss the menu. Kicker crashes.  I can reproduce this bug about nine out of every 10 times.

Kicker restarts itself most of the time. When it doesn't restart itself, I can press a key shortcut to "Run a Command" and launch Kicker from there.

Another way to dismiss the menu is to click on the desktop/elsewhere not on the menu. That makes the menu close without crashing. It's always the Esc key that makes Kicker crash.

In case it's relevant: my Esc and Caps Lock keys are swapped.

Hi,

Can you please install the kdebase-kde3-dbg package and save the crash log that comes up when Kicker crashes? This will give us the necessary backtrace that we can use to investigate further.

Can't reproduce this one. Does anybody else?

Debian Squeeze TDE 3.5.12

Comment 3 Calvin Morrison 2011-11-30 09:47:39 CST

I can't reproduce this either. related to the libart issues?

Comment 4 Timothy Pearson 2011-12-19 13:39:47 CST

Never seen this, but the description strongly suggests a libart problem.
