connectbot - issue #618

Crashes after upgrade to Jelly Bean


Posted on Nov 9, 2012 by Swift Bird

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install ConnectBot Samsung Galaxy S 3 2. Upgrade it to Jelly Bean 3. Run a SSH session and use it a few minutes 4. Switch to another application, and use it several minutes 5. Switch back to ConnectBot

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to use the SSH connection, but ConnectBot freezes and then crashes.

What version of the product are you using (you can see this by using Menu -> About in the Host List)? 1.7.1 (from F-Droid)

What type of system are you trying to connect to? Debian GNU/Linux Sid with tmux and Weechat

If you are able to connect, what is the output of "echo $TERM", "uname -a", and any other relevant information on the host? echo $TERM => screen uname -a => Linux Hydrogen 3.2.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 23 02:45:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'm sending you the logcat captured while ConnectBot was "crashing". You can see the string "#limnoria-bo" (at the tenth line, and in the core dump), which is part of the text displayed in the terminal.

Regards, Valentin

Actually, it happens when I enable the virtual keyboard, ie. when I click the Keyboard button, or when I switch from another app. But, it does not appear if I rotate the screen (with or without the keyboard enabled)

Workaround: remove Samsung's OS and replace it with CyanogenMod 10.1. It works perfectly now.

For the record: I just got a Samsung Galaxy S3 and I'm experiencing these crashes as well. The app crashes when I'm using the stock Samsung keyboard.
