Update pushed to core/updates_testing . Florian, can you write an advisory? The version is 3.0.1 with 1.1 (%mkrel 1 and subrel 1).

> Florian, can you write an advisory?

Sure, here goes suggested advisory:

========================

In abiword versions prior to 3.0.1, when trying to change the background color via the menu Format > Page Background > Page Color and clicking on any color with the mouse, then OK, the background color will not be changed.

This is because the color selection dialog was broken, the color would have needed to be selected either with enter or space key, and then abiword would crash with a segmentation fault.

This update fixes both issues.

========================

Updated packages in core/updates_testing:
========================
i586
abiword-3.0.1-1.1.mga5.i586
abiword-devel-3.0.1-1.1.mga5.i586
python-abiword-3.0.1-1.1.mga5.i586

x86_64
abiword-3.0.1-1.1.mga5.x86_64
abiword-devel-3.0.1-1.1.mga5.x86_64
python-abiword-3.0.1-1.1.mga5.x86_64

Source RPMs: 
abiword-3.0.1-1.1.mga5.src.rpm

Status: NEW => ASSIGNED

As I'm not the packager this time, I can confirm (again) that the update to abiword-3.0.1-6.mga5.x86_64.rpm fixes both mentioned issues, the crash and the color selector in general.

Background color can now be changed as expected \o/


Only other thing I noticed is that when selecting text, the highlighting of the selected text is in black - vs. black text, which is a pretty bad choice. But not related to the update, 3.0.0 shows the same issue. Might also simply be a local theming problem.

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA5-64-OK

I can confirm that Florian is correct, the Abiword 3.0.1 package in the core/updates_testing repo fixes the problem.

I am the original poster in the the forum thread Florian links to in his bug description.

Off topic but just curious about subrel usage. Version is already bigger value than the previous one. So why you used subrel? Release should be enough?

Good point actually, also mentioned in https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy#Maintainer_.28or_any_interested_packager.29

But in this particular case, the release in cauldron is already much higher, I don't think this warrants to re-submit the update candidate without subrel (which would also require intervention by sysadmins for manual removal).

Testing on mga5-32

Packages installed from testing:

python-abiword-3.0.1-1.1.mga5
abiword-3.0.1-1.1.mga5

Page colour can be changed using the menu with the mouse.

(I see the same black on black problem with highlighted text as mentioned in comment #3)

OK for mga5-32

Whiteboard: MGA5-64-OK => MGA5-64-OK MGA5-32-OK

This update is now validated.

The Advisory needs to be uploaded to SVN. The packages can then be pushed to updates.

Keywords: (none) => validated_update
CC: (none) => sysadmin-bugs

An update for this issue has been pushed to Mageia Updates repository.
