gtk_widget_get_scale_factor: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
I'm getting this error on Ubuntu 25.04/x86_64 using the yaru-dark theme.
geany --version
geany 2.0 (built on 2024-11-11 with GTK 3.24.43, GLib 2.82.2)
I ran it with valgrind to try to get some debug output using G_DEBUG=fatal-criticals valgrind --tool=memcheck --leak-check=yes --show-reachable=yes --num-callers=20 --track-fds=yes geany &> geany.bt.txt in case that helps figure this out:
Seems to originate from the addons plugin.
It would be useful if you could compile and install Geany plus geany-plugins and try if the problem is present also in the latest version from git master.
In addition, if you are able to reproduce the problem, try to debug Geany using gdb
gdb geany
and then then run it using
r --g-fatal-warnings
If it crashes, please post a backtrace you obtain by typing bt.
I can confirm that this issue does not crop up when building geany and geany-plugins from git master!
This is the requested gdb backtrace:
(gdb) r --g-fatal-warnings

I've transferred this issue to geany-plugins.
The error message seems to come from within the gtk_status_icon_set_from_icon_name() call but I'm not sure if we can actually do anything about it.
FWIW I don't get this, but I get:
(geany:487193): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 23:33:17.361: gdk_window_thaw_toplevel_updates: assertion 'window->update_and_descendants_freeze_count > 0' failed
with the systray addon (and it does trace back to a GtkTrayIcon, so it's unlikely to be a coincidence 🙂 )
Not sure if we can do anything about it, unless there's some weird implicit requirement the addon plugin isn't following.
