PSI v0.16-dev-20150213 - crashes when entering IM message

[darcio]

I have been using PSI for a number of years. Some time ago I updated to 0.16.3, which was working quite nicely.

Recently however I discovered that as soon as I attmept to respond to an IM msg and start typing my response the app crashes. This only happens as I enter a response, the apps does not have a problem showing me the IM msg that was sent to me.

Through debugging all I have been able to determine is that as soon as the 2nd character of my response is being entered the app crashes, otherwise, if just a single character is entered it is fine.

I have not been able to narrow this down to anything else. All the pre-reqs listed in the readme are installed. My YUM/RPM uses the pentium4 platform.

Do you use latest psi from herehttp://trac.netlabs.org/qtapps/wiki/QT4%20Networking ?

I've the same problem here. But only with the latest version from 'Date/Time?: 13 Feb 2015 13:42:17'.

The older version from 20141030 I used before worked well. Guess it's a problem with spell checking as it crashes at the second character.

Though I didn't have aspell / aspell-de installed before. Should we try to deinstall aspell?

Here's the crash report -

the good thing is I can reproduce it. If and when a fix is around depends on my time.

[Silvan Scherrer]

please test the new aspell rpm from exp repo. With this I can't reproduce the crash anymore

[Silvan Scherrer]

any feedback?

[andib]

Eventually I found the time to update both of my machines to exactly reproduce my test case. And for me now it works. Thanks.

[Silvan Scherrer]

ok thx. I moved the aspell rpm now from exp to rel repo.

[darcio]

Sorry I've dropped the ball on this ticket, I actually stopped using PSI because of this issue.

Having said that, I re-started and indeed, the issue went away following the install of the updated aspell package.

Therefore, I realize the ticket is already closed, but for what it's worth, that was the fix for the originally reported issue.

Thank you!
