LOADSPRITE/SHOEBOX & screen resolution change in Linux

I've found that after multiple screen resolution on Linux, LOADSPRITE (after using SETSHOEBOX) makes the program segmentation fault.

yikes :/
can you bring something reproducable? Or - can't we silently ignore it? :whistle:

MrTAToad

Ah no - it cant be ignored just yet :)

I'll see if I can do some small example...  As usual something small doesn't do it :(

I'm hoping it may be solved - it ran 4 times okay in the VM okay (fullscreen and window mode), so need to test on a proper installation tomorrow.

Unfortunately it segment faults on a proper Linux installation...

MrTAToad

Still segment faults unfortunately on a proper system - this is on a 64-bit Linux.  This is usually on startup when trying to load the first graphic in a shoebox file, although it can also happen after the screen resolution change.  It seems to be very random...

I'll try a 32-bit version later -full screen here faulted too - only this time with an GLB Error 9
bounds: [ 0 ]
access: [ 0 ]
This was a bit tricky to find, but it was a problem cause by fading the music down...

Unfortunately, there is still a segment fault after one or more screen resolution changes :( or even at first loading - it seems to be somewhat random...

soundls like a bug that might be SDL related, even.

The odd thing is that it can crash even when running just one time...
