Crash on File Open Dialog in Linux Mint 21.3 #204

Closed Baralheia closed 1 month ago

Baralheia commented 1 month ago

Description: In Supercell WX 0.4.3 and 0.4.4 on Linux Mint 21.3, invoking a File Open dialog causes the application to crash. This occurs both with the AppImage and the tarball. If run from the Terminal, debug output suggests Supercell is unable to load theme icons due to "invalid IHDR data" but I've confirmed that the specific image that is being loaded exists and will open in an image viewer without error. This issue prevents me from changing the default alert sound or any of the color tables for the various radar products - basically anywhere a file open dialog would be invoked.

To Reproduce: In Supercell WX, go to File > Open > NEXRAD Product. Application will crash within a second or two. Alternately, go to File > Settings, select the Audio page, then click the "..." button to the right of the Sound filename. Application will crash within a second or two.

Expected Behavior: A file open dialog should appear without crashing the application.

Thanks for the report. I'm able to reproduce it in a fresh install of Linux Mint 23.1. Not ideal, but you can workaround the issue in the non-AppImage version, from the bin directory:

$ cp supercell-wx supercell-wx-patched
$ sed -i s/png_/PNG_/g supercell-wx-patched
$ ./supercell-wx-patched

I'll work to figure out a proper fix for this.

The problem appears to lie within libqgtk3.so. You should be able to remove the .so file (plugins/platformthemes), and the application should work as normal.

I will probably end up removing this file from future distributions, and/or see if I can file a bug report with Qt (assuming I can reproduce this with a minimal example). This file is used only for GTK theming, where other themes (e.g., Fusion) likely give a better experience.
