#435 C::B crashes on Ubuntu 16.10

[Dawid Dudek]

I don't really know where or how to successfully report a bug. So please move it to the right place if this place isn't good for the report.

code blocks crashes all the time. I cannot work with it for more than 10 minutes. It crashes randomly when I'm copying text, when I'm saving file CTRL + S. There's one big crash. It crashes when I'm in debug mode too. C::B window gets darker and I have to kill the program.
I'm on clean installation of Ubuntu 16.10, clean installation of C::B. I tried to reinstall it but there was no effect. Crash crash crash. I'm writing simple command line algorithms, no big deal. Please repair it ASAP :) Sorry for my English.

Have you installed codeblocks from the official repository?

can you try this:
https://launchpad.net/~codeblocks-devs/+archive/ubuntu/daily

It would also be nice if you can read this and follow the steps described there:

Most probably this is a duplicate of #225 - see this comment for details how to workaround it - https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/225/#28e6

Please next time provide a bit more info. A callstack or backtrace might be really helpful.
Now please try to disable the symbol browser and report if the crash is gone.

I did what is here https://launchpad.net/~codeblocks-devs/+archive/ubuntu/daily . (installed c::b using given commands) but it still crashes. I have 'Symbols browser" disabled.
I'm not so advanced linux/ c::b user to understand what should I do more from here http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,21515.0.html .

[Teodor Petrov]

Read some of the guides in the topic or this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace
You'll have to provide a backtrace. Without it we cannot do much.
And make sure to disable the symbol browser. Do this by disabling it and then restart C::B and verify that the change is remembered. Then try to reproduce the problem.

I am running C::B on Ubuntu 16.10 and the only issue I had I reported in #447. Do you experience the same?

[Walbert Schulpen]

running 16.10 64bits. clean install.

No, The problem I experience is that when I open a window via menu (e.g.
settings) , the content is not shown and CB crashes (e.g. I cannot exit the
window I just opened, no exit button, no content etc). this happens around
every 10 minutes. However, with the last update I did not experience this
crash anymore....

I had the same problem. Than I switched the global unity theme to adwaita and there is (fast) no more crashes since them.

[Dawid Dudek]

switching to adwaita doesn't solve the problem.

There's sometimes message when C::B crashes:

ASSERT INFO:
../src/common/wincmn.cpp(478): assert "GetEventHandler() == this" failed in ~wxWindowBase(): any pushed event handlers must have been removed

BACKTRACE:
[1] wxWindowBase::~wxWindowBase()
[2] wxAppBase::CleanUp()
[3] wxEntryCleanup()
[4] wxUninitialize()
[5] wxEntry(int&, wchar_t**)
[6] __libc_start_main

Have you tried a recent night build?
