Package: synaptic Version: 0.62.1+nmu1 Severity: normal I can make Synaptic hang 9 times out of 10 by opening it, selecting a package and then resizing to maximize the left field, i.e. grab the vertical line and slowly pull it to the right end. You can see Synaptic fervently trying to reflow the description field to accommodate the text in the ever-shrinking box. The cursor remains as the two-headed resize arrow and nothing happens.
As an added bonus I can't seem to select any other programs from the gnome-panel either so this is pretty nasty when it happens. I have a hotkey to show the desktop, that still works. Then I have to "Force quit" Synaptic. Dunno if this is relevant. Of course, since the texts in the left most field are rather short and people tend to have wide screens these days, this is not a likely thing for the average person to do. :) -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.7 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages synaptic depends on: ii apt [libapt-pkg-lib 0.7.20.2+lenny2 Advanced front-end for dpkg ii apt-utils [libapt-i 0.7.20.2+lenny2 APT utility programs ii hicolor-icon-theme 0.10-1 default fallback theme for FreeDes ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-18lenny7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-7 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.6.0-3 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2+lenny4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1~lenny2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-6 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvte9 1:0.16.14-4 Terminal emulator widget for GTK+ ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.12-3 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5+lenny3 GNOME XML library ii rarian-compat [scro 0.8.1-1 Rarian is a documentation meta-dat ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages synaptic recommends: pn deborphan <none> (no description available) ii gksu 2.0.0-8 graphical frontend to su ii libgnome2-perl 1.042-1+b1 Perl interface to the GNOME librar ii menu 2.1.41 generates programs menu for all me Versions of packages synaptic suggests: pn dwww <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
