Edit Polygon crashes Horizon 2.7.1/FreeBSD 15

[jfatcl]

As the title says. The editor crashes with status 139, any action (move/delete/enter datum) provokes it. Drawig a polygon is ok.
I also get these messages during startup and when opening an editor:
Gtk-Message: 17:45:30.347: Failed to load module "colorreload-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: 17:45:30.347: Failed to load module "window-decorations-gtk-module"

Windows seems unaffected (but I use there v2.7.2). Maybe it's a problem of a library?

The startup messages are harmless and can be ignored.

Have a backtrace from gdb?

[jfatcl]

This was right after the crash (don't know if that's what you want):

I just cloned the repository, built it and there's no error. About page shows this commit: 53fff87

[carrotIndustries]

That looks like the backtrace from the running horizon-eda process that didn't crash. You have to attach gdb to the horizon-imp process and then let it crash.

[jfatcl]

Hmm, if I start horizon-imp -k /package.json it core dumps immediately. Backtrace:

Same with a non-existing package.

I do not use gdb much, how do I attach to the running horizon-imp process, or from the main program when the imp is called? I used the set-follow-... settings, as well as "attach ". In both cases the was no backtrace after the crash.

gdb -p $(pidof horizon-imp) assuming that there's only one editor running. May require sudo.

[carrotIndustries]

Weird. Given that

I just cloned the repository, built it and there's no error.

makes me assume that the issue likely isn't directly with Horizon EDA 🤔

[jfatcl]

Guess so. I just verified it again, same operation -> no crash.
Since the runtime libraries are the same, maybe it's a build dependency (I used the pkg, not the port)? Anyway, I write the maintainer.

[jfatcl]

Before I could file a bug report I noticed that there was an pkg upgrade coming. So I decided to sit this out for a while. I just upgraded the package, unfortunately not only horizon but all of them. Result: the imp doesn't even start but it fails with "GLib::Error: Unable to create a GL context"
The self-build version (see above) has the same problem, so I guess this is now a runtime library problem (which is strange because the shared libs dependencies are the same). I will file both errors at FreeBSD but leave the following information for reference here:
This is the backtrace:

Does the Open GL area demo from gtk3-demo work?
