Description
Is this a new report?
Yes
System Info
Void 6.12.33_1 x86_64 AuthenticAMD uptodate FFFFFFFF
Package(s) Affected
LibreCAD-2.2.1.1_1
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
LibreCAD should be able to load its own DXFs. Flatpak v2.2.1.1 and AppImage v2.2.1.1 versions, as well as FreeCAD 1.0.1_2, load the same files without error.
Actual behaviour
Void's version of LibreCAD consistently crashes when loading DXFs created or modified with LibreCAD. This includes files from the Flatpak and AppImage versions. DXFs created by other software seem to work, or at least couldn't find any files online that caused crashing.
No error messages, just [1] 7676 segmentation fault librecad
Steps to reproduce
- Launch LibreCAD and attempt to open any DXF that has been created or modified with LibreCAD
1a. Saving a blank DXF (specific version seems to be unimportant) and loading it is enough to trigger the issue - Instant crash.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash with a blank DXF saved by LibreCAD-2.2.1.1_1, then compare Void's package with the Flatpak and AppImage versions that load the same files. Done means Void's LibreCAD can load self-created and modified DXFs without a segmentation fault.
