Xreader crashes deleting annotations

[jbergengh]

I just wanted to post a reminder that Xreader still crashes when deleting annotations. I posted this bug report a while back as issue #564. I just updated the issue with more info. This is a repeatable, full-on crash of Xreader. I've learned to work around it, but it still catches me off guard and I lose work occasionally.

UPDATE: Atril crashes exactly the same way in this Mint Mate beta.

I confirm the bug . mint@mint:~$ xreader Segmentation fault (core dumped) . logs.zip

This should be fixed in 3.6.1 (in the beta). Please confirm when you get a chance.

Thanks!

@mtwebster 3.6.1 fixed the issue but seems to have created another.

Open a PDF Add an annotation Immediately right click the annotation and remove it. Xreader 3.6.1 crashes.

BTW, in case you didn't notice, Atril has the same issue.

Ah sorry, fixed it - https://github.com/linuxmint/xreader/commit/b4b3a3ca2d95d0e9272517234085a4f0cf73baea

Someone needs to test more...

Not sure we'll get another version out today - if you want to re-check it, you can get the auto-build packages: https://github.com/linuxmint/xreader/releases.

@mtwebster I'm more than happy to test it, but I'm not smart enough to know what to do with those auto-build packages. I'll wait for version 3.6.2 Xreader has some other issues I need to submit as well. It saves bookmarks without asking, and sometimes doesn't save annotations when you hit save. No doubt you've got your hands full now, so I figure these can wait.

Yeah I noticed a bunch of things related to annotations alone (most annoying for me was the expanders in the annotation list always closing) - it definitely needs some attention.

@mtwebster so far 3.6.1 seems to fix the problem
