Crash when changing name

Reported by: iStig Assigned to: evands
Priority: highest Milestone: Adium X 1.2.5
Component: Adium Core Version: 1.2.4
Severity: blocker Keywords: nickname name crash
Cc: Patch: None
Pending: 0

Description

When I change my nickname in the Adium preferences window, Adium crashes. This only started happening today, and it's bloody annoying, as you can imagine. Right now, it's an incomplete version of my name, because I (obviously) can't change it.

I haven't installed anything in the last few days, and it only started happening now. There are no special characters or anything in the names I'm trying to change it to.

If this is an April Fool's day joke, it's terrible.

The only joke I see here, is a report of crashing without a crash log or debug log! Tsk tsk... results of TroubleshootingTips? ReportingBugs? All requirements!

  • summary changed from Name changes kill Adium to Crash when changing name.

For competion, the way I caused it was:

  1. Open preferences
  2. Go to Personal pane
  3. Change name - I added my last initial
  4. Wait about 10 seconds - maybe less - and it crashed.

jas, your reproduction with 1.3svn isn't the same crash as the original reporter's crash with 1.2.4.... but might be related.

04/03/2008 09:37:50 AM changed by evands

Hm, actually, might be the same. My bad :)

04/03/2008 09:44:41 AM changed by evands

I can't reproduce with the steps above on 1.2.4 or 1.3svn. Does this crash for you if performing these steps immediately upon launching Adium, having held shift to prevent accounts from connecting?

04/03/2008 10:05:25 AM changed by jas8522

I can reproduce it without connecting to any accounts. I think I figured out the exact steps to reproduce - I missed a key fact.

  1. Open Adium Personal Preferences such that you can still keep an eye on your name in the toolbar of the contact list window
  2. Change your name in personal prefs, and notice that it takes a second to update in the contact list toolbar. You will not get a crash at this point.
  3. Change your name in personal prefs again, but this time close the preferences window before the name gets updated in the toolbar of the contact list window - crashes every time.

Now that is what I'm talking about!

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

(In [23024]) Trigger changes on the alias and displayname fields immediately when the personal preferences are doing to close; this keeps any changes which were just made and does so before we deallocate. Fixes #9565.
