Description

When I go to MythNews? and exit it using the Escape key, my frontend segfaults:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

As far as I can see in the sefault, it happens at MythSreenTypes?.cpp, line 185. There it says:

if (m_CurrentFocusWidget && m_CurrentFocusWidget->keyPressEvent(event))
        return true;

From this code it is not clear to me why there would be a segfault here, but maybe I am wrong.

My frontend version is: 0.22.20080416-1

Is there anything I can do to debug this problem further?

Could you rebuild mythfrontend and the plugins after doing a make distclean.

P.S. I could be pedantic and point out that the version number you gave has nothing to do with the frontend version whatsoever but I won't ... (mythfrontend --version)

I already did a make distclean and rebuilded all the plugins. To make absolutely sure I first deleted alle the mythtv plugins and binaries.

Sorry about the version info. This is what mythfrontend --version says:

Resolution: fixed
Status: infoneeded_newclosed

(In [17085]) Fixes #5218

I've no idea how I let this bug slip through or why I was unable to reproduce, but segfaults leaving certain plugin screens should now be fixed.

(In [17092]) Remove the unpopular menus from the main mythgallery screen and put them in mythui popups instead, this gives more room for thumbnails and matches up with the behaviour everywhere else in MythTV.

Includes a couple of warning fixes; the mythgallery fix for #5218 which I had left out of [17085] because this commit was pending; and a simplification of ThumbGenEvent?.

Thanks should go to Paul for [17088], [17089] and [17090] - he just didn't know that I'd already fixed these problems in my tree.
