The behavior of the is not clean. The problem is very old for me (>2 Years) and appears in all versions of texstudio and only with an internal PDF viewer enabled.

I can not produce steps precisely to trigger the bug, but it comes very often (1-2 times per 10 minutes of intensive work with texstudio, sometimes every 2 Minutes). If the Bug is triggered, then in the first 2 seconds after the PDF view ist started. I tried to catch it up with a gdb. The bug wath triggered three times, and every time the backtrace is the same. So I attach only the one of them.

    it crashes in poppler.
    Nothing we can do about it.
    Maybe you can update to a newer veriosn of poppler/newer distro

    I have the poppler version 0.36.0 (Arch distro). The last one, I think. On the other hand, evince does not crashes, and it uses poppler, AFAIK.

    well, your backtrace points to poppler. It is not a fully reproducible crash and you are using an arch distro which, in the past, presented bugs which were only present on arch.
    I don't think that there is anything that we can do.

    Ok, tell me please how I can trace the bug better. Or where I must look into? And what could be the problem? Cause the bug is pretty annoing and I must change to external viewer,. But with an external viewer I have not backward synctexing.

    Seems, that a problem was the custom FreeType-lib with an infinality patch, that was too old. Sorry for the noise.
