Changing Theme I get "fb->Attachment[BUFFER_BACK_LEFT].RenderBuffer" and Mythfrontend dies

[paolo.asioli@…]

Hello,

I've just recompiled the latest svn version and still I get this error. After changing the Theme in Setup/Appearance? I get the Assertion failed from via_context.c: "fb->Attachment[BUFFER_BACK_LEFT].RenderBuffer?" and mythfrontend dies. Then after restarting the frontend the new theme is in place. it's just a bit annoying but not blocking.

What do you have the Menu Theme setting set to?

I think this is the same error as in #2580 and #2738 which only affects the classic menu layout.

(In [12373]) This fixes a problem where exiting the Appearance settings sometimes causes a segfault. It actually only affects the classic menu layout but it was only by luck the DVR and default layouts worked.

Basically this commit makes sure the AppearanceSettings? dialog is deleted and cleaned up before doing the JumpTo?("Reload Theme") so that when its detached from the MythMainWindow? it doesn't send an ExitToMainMenuEvent? which was causing all the problems.

It also only reloads the theme if the user completed the settings dialog by pressing "Finish".

Fixes #2860, #2580, #2738.

hello,

I've just recompiled revision 12377 from trunk and still I get the following error when exiting from the Appearance menu in frontend.

I've tried with both default and DVR menu theme but with no result.

Must be a different problem to that fixed in [12373].

Can you get a backtrace of the crash and attach it to this ticket. Re-open the ticket when available.
