Re: [Beaver-devel] Menu sensitivity while opening file

[Tobias Heinzen]

I spend now some time over this problem and I can't find any solution 
(since I don't really know what exactly is causing the problem). The 
Error "invalid next size (fast):" possibly indicates that an array has 
gone over it's boundaries and tainting some memory. But some runs with 
valgrind disproved that theory as it said nothing about that (could be 
that valgrind does not check such things).

Another possibility is, that the use of the deprecated gtk_item_factory 
is causing these errors. But this is also difficult to prove. A solution 
would be to remove this feature for the time beeing. Also I found out 
that the bug only happens with specific files. Only those were affected 
and are producing the error. I do not know exactly what it's different 
in those files.

I also had to make some changes to the Makefile again (especially 
setting some permissions correctly, since the about.pxm file couldn't 
get loaded)

Tobias
