Crash on window resize

Hi,

I'm running Jalview 2.5.1 on Ubuntu Linux. Sometimes Jalview crashes
when I resize the window. I can only replicate this sometimes, not all
the time, by doing the following:

1. Open FASTA alignment in Jalview.
2. Maximize the alignment window.
3. Resize the Jalview app window to make it smaller.

I saved output.txt from the last time this happened, but it's about 3
MB. Please let me know if I should send it to this list or somewhere
else. The main thing I see in this file is a bunch of
java.net.UnknownHostExceptions about my proxy server. But that server
is currently disabled.

If needed, I can also send a FASTA alignment that often causes this crash.

I did modify Jalview to increase the memory, per the InstallAnywhere
Linux instructions at <http://www.jalview.org/jvmmemoryparams.html>.

Thanks,

Hi there Jeremy. Thanks for taking the time to investigate the problem!

If you could register at the jalview bug tracker (issues.jalview.org), you should be able to create a new bug under the Jalview project, and then upload the file.

Alternately, you could trim down the console text to a managable size and send it to to me directly. I suspect that of the 3MB of text, the only relevant bit of the console output is the first 5 lines (containing the version/platform info) and the last 100k or so - which most likely contain the last set of exceptions, and the JVM's stack dump which was generated when the crash occured.

Jim.

Hi Jeremy.

I took a look at your bug report (http://issues.jalview.org/browse/JAL-603) and realised that you are using openJDK, which doesn't fully support Jalview's GUI, so I won't be fixing this bug anytime soon (probably because its a bug in the open JDK, rather than in Jalview).

The workaround for you is to either install the InstallAnywhere version of Jalview 2.5.1 - making sure you use the installation package that includes the JVM, or install a Sun JDK on your machine. Either way, it's unlikely that you'll see this problem on the 'Official' Java 1.6 runtime.

Thanks for filing the bug report - I'll keep it open for anyone interested in resolving the issue.
Jim.
