Folder View for the Desktop. +2. Click on a desktop icon, F2 (rename), select the text, right-click (as a reflex to find a menu with Copy); +3. plasma-desktop glorious crash. + +Here's the KDE bug that was fixed by accident in KDE 4.6.90: +Upstream bug 235020, with duplicates 228036, 236800, 256257, 255393, 256993, 257591, 262912, 264287, 264664, 265064, 265823, 266245, 270591, 272198, 272662, 274792, 274135, 274659, 275301, 275906, 275906, 276020, 276261. +In short: KCharSelect crashes in some circumstances. +How to make KCharSelect crash on any version up to and including 4.6.4: +1. Open KCharSelect and make it have the minimum horizontal size (it should display 18 characters on a row; if it doesn't, keep it at this size nevertheless); +2. Select the "DejaVu Sans" or any other DejaVu typeface. +3. Keep "European Alphabets" in the first drop-down list. +4. In the second drop-down list, start to switch the code pages between the available ones, in order: +-- Basic Latin +-- Latin-1 Supplement +-- Latin Extended A +-- Latin Extended B +-- Latin Extended Additional +-- Latin Extended C +-- Latin Extended D +and so on. +5. It should have crashed by now. If not, keep switching back and forth between the code pages until it does! +The bug is actually triggered by unknown errors in some fonts (the DejaVu family being one of them). + +It's funny to use KDE4 (I was a GNOME guy, that is, until GNOME Shell was announced). Except that kded4 is not funny. + +Best regards, +R-C aka beranger +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="006178.html">[Mageia-dev] Anybody having high CPU by kded4 after upgrading to 4.6.90? +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="006181.html">[Mageia-dev] Anybody having high CPU by kded4 after upgrading to 4.6.90? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#6180">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#6180">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#6180">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#6180">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
