Tue 02 Jun 2015 03:36:30 PM UTC, comment #9: I pushed the patch here: http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/ede7224d062f Closing the bug report.	Pantxo Diribarne <pantxo>
Tue 02 Jun 2015 02:49:41 PM UTC, comment #8: @Pantxo: The patch works for me. I'm okay with pushing this to stable as well.	Rik <rik5>
Mon 01 Jun 2015 10:10:32 PM UTC, comment #7: The attached patch fixes the issue with copying to clipboard while in --no-gui mode. May I push it to stable and close this report? (file #34144)	Pantxo Diribarne <pantxo>
Wed 22 Apr 2015 03:54:06 PM UTC, comment #6: Much better. I no longer get segfaults with the test case in comment #3. Like Guillaume, I am unable to copy to clipboard when running --no-gui so that issue still remains. Interestingly, I can see the plot window go black when it does the "printing", but the result isn't transferred over to the clipboard for pasting.	Rik <rik5>
Wed 22 Apr 2015 10:46:59 AM UTC, comment #5: It seems much more stable now: the image is in the clipboard each time and I haven't observed any segfault. However it doesn't seem to work when running Octave with the "--no-gui" flag (it might be another peculiarity of my testing platform though).	Guillaume <gyom>
Wed 22 Apr 2015 05:43:24 AM UTC, comment #4: I checked in the following changeset. With it, I'm able to copy images to the clipboard on Windows and my Debian system. I think the problem was that printing to the file needs to happen in the interpreter thread and copying the resulting image from the file to the clipboard needs to happen in the GUI thread. At least that's what this patch attempts to do. http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c36f2b083613	John W. Eaton <jwe>
Sat 18 Apr 2015 09:36:01 PM UTC, comment #3: The following code always segfaults for me. ./run-octave -f sombrero # 5 <CTRL+C> keystrokes quickly in figure window	Rik <rik5>
Sat 18 Apr 2015 11:36:25 AM UTC, comment #2: After this changeset: http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/c58cf3a65519 I don't have a segfault with a blank figure any more but it still behaves somehow randomly otherwise.	Guillaume <gyom>
Sat 18 Apr 2015 12:11:41 AM UTC, comment #1: Confirmed. This bit of code is de-stabilizing. I don't get exactly the same behavior as you, but I do get segfaults. For me, a blank figure only leads to an error message, but not a segfault. On the other hand, using Ctrl+C twice leads to a segfault on the second time.	Rik <rik5>
Fri 17 Apr 2015 04:35:45 PM UTC, original submission: I am testing the copy to clipboard option recently introduced by @jwe and noticed a number of things: I sometimes have to select "copy" several times before it effectively appears in the clipboard (tested by Edit>Paste in GIMP) and it never seems to be there the first time I "copy" a figure. If a figure is empty, there is a segmentation fault: >> error: print: no axes object in figure to print error: called from print at line 305 column 5 [xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue [xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called [xcb] Aborting, sorry about that. octave-gui: xcb_io.c:274: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed. panic: Aborted -- stopping myself... attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'... save to 'octave-workspace' complete Aborted I've seen that the code will ultimately ask for image format but maybe default for now could be PNG, to minimize compression. Definitely not "normal" usage but if I press Ctrl-C repeatedly (quickly) in a figure, Octave will eventually segfault: >> octave-gui: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. octave-gui: Fatal IO error 2 (No such file or directory) on X server :0.0. panic: Segmentation fault -- stopping myself... attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'... save to 'octave-workspace' complete Segmentation fault	Guillaume <gyom>
