The error "gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in GtkNotebook" is shown for unknown reason

[ryonakano]

Although the app works, every time when I click the "New Sheet" in the welcome screen, the following errors are shown in the terminal:

(xyz.gelez.spreadsheet:14673): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 21:05:55.620: gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in GtkNotebook

(xyz.gelez.spreadsheet:14673): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 21:05:55.620: gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in GtkNotebook

(xyz.gelez.spreadsheet:14673): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 21:05:55.620: gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in GtkNotebook

But since the app doesn't use GtkNotebook anywhere, I have no idea how to fix :man_shrugging:

[elegaanz]

Try to run the app in GDB with G_DEBUG set to fatal-criticals as explained here. I think this should work:

G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals gdb path/to/spreadsheet

And use run in GDB to start Spreadsheet.

The app should crash when encountering these messages. At this point, use the bt command of GDB to get a backtrace.

Thank you very much for the way to debug. I got the following log:

According to this line:

#14 0x00007ffff5ae8a68 in granite_widgets_dynamic_notebook_insert_tab () at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgranite.so.5

It is because Spreadsheet uses Granite.DynamicNotebook. And indeed it uses Gtk.Notebook internally.

I have no idea how to fix this issue tho… :confused:
