Possible bug with HT set to Realtime Preview Window
« on: 2014 March 03 00:09:01 »
Hiya.

I'm running PI commercial v 18.01.xxxx. I have noticed what seems to be a problem. Under Ubuntu Linux 12.04.03 LTS, x86_64, intel dual core with hyperthreading, 8Gbyte RAM.

I have looked for a 'sticky' post with anything useful to describe what I should collect or document, but can't see anything.

More recently, I have taken to using HT (which displays the histogram nicely) set to the target of 'realtime window'. What this means is that I can experiment with almost any other tool that has realtime window support, and I can see what/how the histogram changes in the HT window. (only been doing this for 3 years, still very noob, and I just like to be able to watch the histogram change, mainly while doing a Curves Transformation.)

Today when I tried with the latest version, it coredumped.

In .xsession-errors (the only file that I can see that has been modified recently) I get a heap of;
[23159:23159:0303/074044:ERROR:vsync_provider.cc(70)] glXGetSyncValuesOML should not return TRUE with a media stream counter of 0.

followed by

(thunderbird:2719): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_clipboard_set_with_data: assertion `targets != NULL' failed
/opt/PixInsight/bin/PixInsight.sh: line 9:  3238 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) $dirname/$appname $*
plasma-desktop(2455)/plasma StatusNotifierItemSource::refreshCallback: DBusMenu disabled for this application
plasma-desktop(2455)/plasma StatusNotifierItemSource::refreshCallback: DBusMenu disabled for this application

(obviously the thunderbird reference isn't PI related.)
Not sure if anything else is related or not.

I haven't been able to actually find a corefile, although that doesn't mean that there isn't one...

I have tried to repeat this crash tonight, but have not been able to.

An interesting thing to note is that I had similar crash doing the same thing under Win32. I mention this in case it's relevant, not that I expect win32 to get fixed of course.
