r3495 Mac pak128 - crash when scrolling

July 05, 2010, 02:40:25 am

I'm running into a crash on the Mac version of Simutrans. This occurs when I'm scrolling the map by holding down the arrow keys. It happens frequently enough, but unfortunately, I haven't figured out the exact circumstances of the crash to reproduce it reliably. Here's the message printed out:

2010-07-04 15:26:35.720 sim-macintel[6357:10b] Exception raised during posting of notification. Ignored. exception: '*** -[NSLayoutManager glyphRangeForTextContainer:]: given container does not appear in the list of containers for this NSLayoutManager.' invoked observer method: '*** -[SDLMain applicationDidFinishLaunching:]' observer: 0x426500 notification name: 'NSApplicationDidFinishLaunchingNotification'

At this point, the game stops responding, and it segfaults a few seconds later.

This is on OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) on a Macbook Pro, with the latest nightlies (tested with r3495). I tried running with "-log 1", but all that seems to do is create an empty file at ~/simutrans/simu.log.

Let me know if there's anything else that would help debug.

could you please try to run the program in a debugger and provide a backtrace when it crashes? Dont know how to do that on MAC though :/

I remember somebody reporting in another thread a problem with using the arrow keys to scroll on the Macintosh platform, and suspecting the cause to be related to SDL.

I can run simutrans under gdb. But... I can't get it to crash anymore! I guess that's good, all things considered. I'll follow up if it crashes again and I have a backtrace to show.
