Segfault with opening new buffers in non-existent directories

Question

Closed this issue 5 years ago · 4 comments

Open a new file in a new directory, e.g. xyz/abc. Modify it in some way to make it unread.
Without saving the file, open another file in the same, non-existent directory (e.g. xyz/def).
Switch to the first buffer and close it without saving.
Howl hangs for a moment, then segfaults.

Will look into this soon...

When you say 'switch to the first buffer' do you mean open the buffer or just close it from the switch-buffer list?

I can't repro - if this is now fixed can we close please @refi64?

Indeed it seems to be working now.

Nice - glad we sorted this out. I think this was also related to some GTK errors being printed in the console which are completely gone now.
