X Window System error - GTK+ Look and Feel

[cam_daw@…]

When using the "GTK+" Look and Feel, JOSM crashes randomly
Edit --> Preferences --> Look and Feel --> Look and Feel: GTK+

It crashes especially when uploading changes, but will crash at other random times as well.
Such as: * When uploading changes (this is the most frequent)

• When loading up JOSM
• When clicking on the "File" menu

This is reproducible with JOSM versions 3373 (latest) and 3329 (tested)

A valid work-around can be made by changing the Look and Feel to Metal or Nimbus.

Operating System:
Ubuntu 10.04 64bit

Output of "java -version":

java version "1.6.0_18"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.8) (6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

The attached logs were created when running JOSM thusly:
java -jar -Xmx2056m josm-tested.jar

Does not happen to me on the same system with the same java.

Did you try it with a fresh preference-file ?
You can set the pref-dir with -Djosm.home= .

I use:

java -Xmx2048m  -Djosm.home=$HOME/.josm-latest -jar /usr/local/share/josm/josm-latest.jar --maximize

Only thing I noticed that JOSM breaks my window-manager (xfwm) with xfce. It is in fullscreen and does not get out of it, lieing under the top-panel. This does not happen with the option --maximize.

Thanks skyper,
That worked for me :)

I assume therefor that I must have had a corrupted preference file / directory that had triggered the crash.

If it crashes again for the same reason, and if it is reproducible, I'll re-open this ticket.
But for now it seems to be nice and stable. So am marking this ticket as fixed.
