Bug#326990: libqt3-mt: Spinbox code is broken
Package: libqt3-mt
Version: 3:3.3.4-7
Severity: normal
I am packaging scribus. Recently a bug report came up upstream that scribus
installed from a Debian package was corrupting produced pdfs and object
properties on its canvas couldn't be set properly. It seems to present certain
numbers in an incorrect form i.e. 12.:0 instead of 13 in a spinbox. Most of
the time it also resets to 1 instead of advancing to such numbers. All efforts
to locate the bug upstream pointed to Qt3.
For more information please take a look at
http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=2525. I've also built a debugging version
of scribus-cvs located at http://debian.tagancha.org/download. This is a test
package from newer code then what is in Debian, but the bug is both. I used it
to try helping upstream locate the bug, though we weren't successful.
Installation of qt3 3.3.5 on the original reporter's machine fixed the
problem.
Files available for debugging:
scribus-cvs_1.3.0+cvs20050905-2.diff.gz
scribus-cvs_1.3.0+cvs20050905-2.dsc
scribus-cvs_1.3.0+cvs20050905-2_i386.changes
scribus-cvs_1.3.0+cvs20050905-2_i386.deb
scribus-cvs_1.3.0+cvs20050905.orig.tar.gz
You can install the .deb or build your own copy from the source package, of
course. There is extra debugging code in the mspinbox.cpp as can be viewed in
the patch in debian/patches. The .deb was built with 'debuild -e
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="debug,nostrip"'.
Regards,
Alex.
