Subject: Icecat is crashing on search
Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2019 11:01:36 -0500

Hello!

So I recently ran "guix pull && guix package -u && guix system
reconfigure awesome.scm".

And now Icecat hardly use able.

#+BEGIN_SRC bash
guix --version
#+END_SRC

I am using a Macbook 7,1.

I started Icecat from a terminal.  When Icecat opened, I tried to search
for "hello" in the omnibar.  Icecat immediately crashed.


#+BEGIN_SRC bash
icecat --version
#+END_SRC

GNU IceCat 60.5.1


Here is a copy of what the terminal said:

Thanks!

P.S.  It is nice that I am just able to --roll-back and have a working
IceCat again!

retitle 34454 Gtk upstream bug #1280 causes crashes in IceCat and Emacs
thanks

Hello all,

I looked into this, and I believe all of these bugs are caused by Gtk
upstream bug #1280:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1280

which is apparently fixed by the following upstream commit:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/commit/e3a1593a0984cc0156ec1892a46af8f256a64878

Here's another upstream bug report that's more obviously related to
this, and upstream decided it was a duplicate with #1280:

  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1523

Also, here's the same bug reported for NixOS and Arch:

  https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/53697
  https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/61050

I've attached a proposed patch to fix this in Guix.  I'm currently
testing the patch on my system to make sure it doesn't cause any
problems, although I cannot reproduce this bug on my own system.

If those affected by this issue would like to test this patch and report
back, that would be helpful.

     Regards,
       Mark

Hi Mark,

Thanks so much for taking a look at this!

I applied your patch to my local Guix, and everything is working 
fine again. I had been working around the problem by using 
emacs-no-x-toolkit, but with your patch I can use the normal emacs 
package again without issues.

Carlo
