wesnoth 1.7.7 crash in the multiplayer menu

[mich]

If from the main menu I choose multiplayer, and in the the following menu (the one with "join official server", "connect to server", etc...) I put the mouse on an option, then slowly move the mouse up or down over the others options I experience a crash (continue to move the mouse up or down for some time). This both on windows vista and debian.
This is what the terminal reports

Code: Select all

I haven't been able to reproduce the problem, but I already added a fix for the crash.

Also next time please report the bug a bugs.wesnoth.org, where it's more likely to be found.

Thanks. Just tryied with svn version, the problem is still present (I have the same message in the terminal) but the game doesn't crash anymore.

Ok, next time I will report bugs there.

I haven't been able to reproduce the messages, but a code review revealed
the cause of the crash so I could fix that. Could you try to give more info about
how to reproduce the messages?

I have similar messages in the new lobby too (wesnoth 1.7., and there they are more frequent (so probably more easy to reproduce). the message are

The problem happens when I mouse over the little icons

It seems a problem in displaying the tips at the bottom of the page (but I can see them). To reproduce, mouse over the little icons of different games, and after a while I can see the messages.
I have compiled the game myself on debian testing. If you need more information, tell me what I can do.

Thanks for the additional info, I'm able to get the messages with those icons as well.
Still not able to reproduce them reliably, but I think it's good enough to investigate further.

I found the cause of the problem it can happen in valid cases, so removed the error messages.
