The cset works for me.  Marking as fixed and closing report.

I was able to reproduce the problem.  The following changeset seems to fix it for me:

I attach a strack trace obtained with the current default "d0f9826f677d+".

I'm reporting a segfault in the same vein than bug #44875 so it might be hard for others to reproduce.

If I run this executable:


#!/usr/bin/octave -fqH

F = figure ("Visible","off");
axes ("Parent",F);
uicontrol (F);

set (findobj (F,"FontUnits","points"),"FontUnits","normalized");
set (F,"Visible","on");


I get a segfault each time with 4.2.1:


> ./testfig
warning: base_graphics_object::get_properties: invalid graphics object
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_cast'
  what():  std::bad_cast
panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to 'octave-workspace'...
panic: attempted clean up failed -- aborting...
octave exited with signal 6


and a segfault about one in ten times with 4.5+:


> ./testfig
warning: base_graphics_object::get_properties: invalid graphics object
fatal: caught signal Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


The script was initially much longer but I reached the point where it doesn't crash any more if I remove a single line. Not sure each of them is necessary as it might just be a race condition.

I couldn't initially reproduce it from the Octave command line but just noticed I actually can if I paste all of the above followed by delete(F):


F = figure ("Visible","off");
axes ("Parent",F);
uicontrol (F);

set (findobj (F,"FontUnits","points"),"FontUnits","normalized");
set (F,"Visible","on");
delete (F);
