repeatable crashes in 1.7.8 when using cursor keys to scroll
(GNA does not work for me - Camino complains about certificate issues and cannot access the site.)
I can easily crash 1.7.8 when I use the cursor keys to scroll the map.
Mac OS X 10.6.2 (English)
Wesnoth 1.7.8 (official build)
single player (currently playing HttT, but this happens in all scenarios that I have played so far)
MacBook Pro 2,2 (2GB RAM)
A crash log is attached. I can provide plenty more if you need them

Re: repeatable crashes in 1.7.8 when using cursor keys to scroll
GNA uses a self-signed certificate, which might cause your browser behave silly.
Regarding your crash, does it happen when you scroll both up or down or only when
you scroll up?

Re: repeatable crashes in 1.7.8 when using cursor keys to scroll
Hm, I reproduced the bug three times in a row now, and it always happened when I scroll down.
(Forgot to mention that I am playing in windowed mode: 1280x800 on a 1440x900 display.)

Re: repeatable crashes in 1.7.8 when using cursor keys to scroll
Can you also reproduce it when you scroll up?
Re: repeatable crashes in 1.7.8 when using cursor keys to scroll
I haven’t invested a huge amount of time in trying to reproduce it when moving up, but the only crash that I got happened when I accidentally used the down cursor key
Is there a bug on this on GNA? Now that I have installed the CEcert root certificates and logged in – and realized that I still had an account from 2005…

Re: repeatable crashes in 1.7.8 when using cursor keys to scroll
I haven't seen a report on GNA about it.
Could you please test whether the bug only happens if you
scroll down or also if you scroll up. (I've a hunch what the
cause might be and if it only happens in one direction I've
some things our mac packager can test.)

Re: repeatable crashes in 1.7.8 when using cursor keys to scroll
Well, as I said, I spent some time trying to get Wesnoth to crash by using the up (or left or right arrow) key – but I did not succeed. Instead, Wesnoth crashes when I use the down key. Not every single time, but it can be reproduced.
I wasn’t able to reproduce a crash with any other arrow key. That does not mean that it is necessarily impossible, only that it seems to be unlikely and does happen rarely if at all. So I guess your hunch is good!

I wasn't sure how much you tested with other keys.ozean wrote:Well, as I said, I spent some time trying to get Wesnoth to crash by using the up (or left or right arrow) key – but I did not succeed. Instead, Wesnoth crashes when I use the down key. Not every single time, but it can be reproduced.
The mac packager has some hardware problems once that's fixed we'll look into the issue.

Re: repeatable crashes in 1.7.8 when using cursor keys to scroll
It seems something went wrong with building Wesnoth 1.7.8 on the
Mac and most/all Mac specific problems should be fixed with 1.7.9.
Please test again with this version.
