Segmentation fault without crash dump while viewing menu #4103

ladenberger · 2016-01-14T14:43:31Z

Sometimes I get an segmentation fault without crash dump when viewing the submenus of my menu items in the top menu bar.

It is hard to reproduce this error since it happens sporadically. But I think a minimal electron application could help to reproduce this error: Create a minimal electron application with two menu items that have also submenus (with e.g. two submenu items). Click on both menu items alternately as long as the application crashes.

I use electron v0.36.3.

@ladenberger What platform are you seeing this on? Or multiple platforms?

ladenberger · 2016-01-15T07:03:48Z

I am running electron on Linux-x64.

Can you try whether v0.36.2 has the problem? There was a menu bar change could be related.

And can you set the ELECTRON_ENABLE_STACK_DUMPING environment variable to 1 and then reproduce the crash? The stack trace would be printed in terminal and can be helpful.

env ELECTRON_ENABLE_STACK_DUMPING=1 electron ...

I just tried v0.36.2 and it seems that in this version everything works well.

Back to v0.36.3 - same problem. Here is the stack trace:

@ladenberger Thanks for testing old versions and pasting the stack trace, it is enough for fixing the crash.
