Dear Maintainer,

I use mousepad almost each day for small text editing ; since a few days (maybe
2 or 3), mousepad
stopped working : at each run, it crashes (segmentation fault) :
====================
$ mousepad --version
Mousepad 0.6.2
[...]
$ mousepad
Erreur de segmentation [= Segmentation fault]
$ echo $?
139
$ gdb mousepad
GNU gdb (Debian 13.2-1+b1) 13.2
[...]

Thread 1 "mousepad" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff7ea1ec9 in ?? () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgio-2.0.so.0
=====================
NB : "mousepad -h", "mousepad --version", "mousepad --list-encodings" and even
"mousepad --preferences" are working.
Only the normal launch leads to the segfault !

Hey Philippe,

I can't reproduce here, mousepad seems to run just fine.

Some ideas you might try:
- open a new file from the command line instead of just running mousepad
- try with a different user
- try with mousepad --preferences and try to tune the preferences

Also try with gdb with debugging symbols installed maybe?

Regards,

So you may close the bug, dear maintainer.

Thank you for your attention and efforts on this package.

Ph. C.

I just got the same on a Raspberry (Pi OS Trixie with latest updates)
even after reboots.
I was about to uninstall/reinstall when I saw in the package manager a
strange title for the mousepad software : ~Invalid UTF-8 name~ or
something like that.
So I didn't touch the package but instead I used the Pi Control Center
to change my locale setting from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 then reboot then
mousepad now runs OK.

Thanks for the information but I think this should be reported to RaspberryPi
OS.

Regards,

Version: 1.6.3-1

Thanks, I'm closing then.
