Dictionary Crash - LC 5.5.1

Post by iwannaprogram » Sat Aug 25, 2012 5:52 am

Hey, I was wondering how i could resolve an issue i am having with the Dictionary..before i try to purge & re-install.

I am using LC, 5.5.1 (1487), Xubuntu, 64, 3.2.0-23-generic


Scenario

Startup LC, load Dictionary, click on everything that is click-able > no crash

Startup LC, load Dictionary, click on everything that is click-able, then enter search term, click on left-side panel objects (no crash), click on results > crash


Does LC keep logs of crashes somewhere?

There is a known issue with the dictionary crashing the IDE in some Linux distros. I don't have the problem running OpenSUSE, but it has been reported under several Ubuntu installs as well as Fedora. I didn't find it a problem under Mint 9 or 10 but it seems to exist in Maya. A bug report was filed, but it's hard to say what kind of a priority it's been given. Have you tried BvG Docu? http://bjoernke.com/index.irev?target=bvgdocu (I don't know if this will solve the problem, but it's a suggestion.)

Just wanted to post an update that this was fixed in LC 5.5.2.
