Bug Description

Hi All.

This bug crashes inkscape if I try to copy and paste text while the text is still in an edit box.

I'm running Inkscape 0.47 in Windows 7.

Steps:
Open inkscape
Create some text eg(Word 1)
select the text as an object, and copy & paste it using ctrl C, ctrl V.
Open the text using the text editor.
Change the text to something else eg(Word 2)
While the text edit box is open, use ctrl c, ctrl v to copy the text.
At this point inkscape crashes.

It is not a major issue, but extremely painful, when the changes are not automatically saved!
I will try get a backtrace of the error and submit it.

Thanks for any help on this

@Giuseppe, could you attach the original .svg file, since there are possibly different formats that the text may be in, depending on how it is created.

This will involve running a small program called Inkscapec.exe from a DOS prompt, in the same directory where Inkscape is.

I can reproduce this on the current 0.47-3 release, downloaded just today, running on Windows XP SP3:

A text object, when selected in Selection mode, copys and pastes just fine.
However when I change to text edit mode by double-clicking the text object, and THEN try copy/paste, Inkscape crashes on paste.

Additionally, it throws a second dialog box after the crash notice saying it failed to do an emergency save. This just cost me about 1hr of work.
Thus I think this should be marked critical and release-blocker.

this is a bit tricky to reproduce, but is consistent with comment 5 above.
- load the attached file
- with the Select tool active, copy and paste the text successfully
- double-click on original text to switch to text edit mode
- now use ctrl-C and ctrl-V again
- crash with the message:

duplicate of bug #421597?

I had previously been running java (Netbeans) before the crash. So just as a double-check, I did a full restart of the machine and confirmed that the crash is still present without java present.

But the bug seems to appear randomly, I just cannot reproduce predictably.

So the emergency save is now successful? At least that's a big improvement.

JFTR, I didn't have any clipboard monitoring software running, there were only Inkscape, Firefox and a few explorer windows open, at some point iirc also Scribus, and the only 3rd party software in systray are AntiVir and DTemp.
Java was not explicitly running either.
I do not think this bug should be considered a duplicate, the assert is probably reached another way.

Bug #421597 is _not _ known or confirmed to be triggered by clipboard managers or java (else it would have been marked as duplicate of bug #418242).

Same here on Ubuntu 10.10 and Inkscape 0.48.

Dennis Dillert (dennis-dillert) wrote :

I noted that it only happens when I have JDownloader running. JDownloader is JAVA based and takes some control of your keys. It has a CTRL+C sniffing feature that lets you easily copy and paste links from websites into the application.

When I restart my machine and do not use it, everything seems to be working fine and I was not able to reproduce the bug.

Confirmed on Ubuntu Natty with inkscape_0.48.0-1ubuntu2. Backtrace attached.

I'm fairly certain that this is a duplicate of bug #421597... they have identical backtraces, and are both triggered by pasting in a text box. There is more information here about how to reproduce the bug, so I'll mark bug #421597 as a duplicate of this one.

Please feel free to revert if I'm wrong about the duplicate status.

Encountered in Inkscape
Version: 0.48.2 r9819
System: WinXP

Easy way to reproduce:
1. Add a text object (F8) put a string into it e.g. "a"
2. Switch to Object Selection Mode (F1)
3. Copy (CTRL-C) that newly created text object
4. Switch to Text Edit Mode (F8)
5. Copy (CTRL-C) & Paste (CTRL-V)

These steps lead to that Runtime Error in 100% trys on the given system. Note, those steps above are not what i want to achive, just an simplified way to reproduce that error.

The problem is that when text is copied the clipboard is cleared, but clipboard->set_text is not called to replace it if the selected text is empty. This results in the clipboard being NULL.

in ClipboardManagerImpl::copy

tools_isactive(desktop, TOOLS_TEXT) // is TRUE
_discardInternalClipboard(); // _clipboardSPDoc = NULL
_clipboard->set_text(selected_text); // only called when selected_text != ""
_onGet // assert _clipboardSPDoc != NULL fail

Fix attached.

This finally gave me the clue how to reproduce it on OS X: the crash does not occur if 'Ctrl+C' in the text tool context actually copies a highlighted portion of the text content, it is only triggered if nothing is copied to the clipboard because nothing is selected (I never had tried that, apparently because 'Ctrl+C' with nothing selected didn't make sense to me).

Patch tested and fix confirmed with
Inkscape 0.48+devel r10873 on OS X 10.7.2 Lion

@JazzyNico - would you mind testing the patch on Windows?
