Can get a consistent memory error by opening gedit from a command line and then adding 3 small text files (have three tabs open). Then using the window close terminating the gedit window. Get one of two error indications but no error processing.
cliff@cliffps:~$ gedit malloc_consolidate(): invalid chunk size Aborted (core dumped) cliff@cliffps:~$ gedit corrupted size vs. prev_size Aborted (core dumped) Calling gedit with valgrind and doing the same operations (adding three text files) results in no error indications after terminating gedit. Will add the valgrind log in case the error did occurr but just not seeing any indications in the command window. ** Attachment added: "valgrind log (unsure if there was a memory failure)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1817459/+attachment/5241755/+files/valgrind.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817459 Title: gedit assert failure: corrupted size vs. prev_size Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Third failure of this type.
