Description

Bug Summary

LMMS crashes when I try to save a project. This happens seemingly at random - I can't figure out what causes it.

Terminal output at time of error: /tmp/.mount_lmms-1BFjLc8/AppRun: line 24: 361181 Segmentation fault (core dumped) QT_X11_NO_NATIVE_MENUBAR=1 "$DIR"/usr/bin/lmms.real "$@"

LMMS 1.2.2 on Pop!_OS (Ubuntu) 20.10

Research direction

Start by reproducing the project-save crash using LMMS 1.2.2 on Pop!_OS/Ubuntu 20.10 and collect the reported core dump or a more complete backtrace. Done means saving a project no longer causes a segmentation fault under the reported conditions, with the fix verified against the intermittent behavior.
