If you require any additional information to troubleshoot this issue, or if you would like me to run any tests, feel free to let me know.
I had the same Issue in Fedora 29. I noticed, however, that the sample project (book-of-acts) did not crash, so I messed around and got a created project to not crash. Here's what I did:
- Created a project titled 'new-project.msk' saved at '~/Documents/manuskript-projects/'
- Extracted 'new-project.msk' into the same folder, which made a file called 'new-project'
- Replaced the 'settings.txt' file that was created in 'new-project' with the 'settings.txt' file found in '/manuskript-0.8.0/sample-project/book-of-acts/' (it was the only file that varied widely from the one created in 'new-project')
- Copied the 'book-of-acts.msk' file from '/manuskript-0.8.0/sample-project/' into '/Documents/manuskript-projects/' and renamed it 'new-project.msk'
This is obviously not a solution, but hopefully someone who knows more than I do can use it to find the real issue.
@tyhawk and @Obsurdity how did you install Manuskript?
In a new Fedora 29 x86-64 Virtual Machine I installed Manuskript with:
sudo su -c "dnf install manuskript-0.8.0-1.noarch.rpm"
To create a new project I ran manuskript from the command line so that I could capture the console output. I chose to create a new project using the Novel template and the project created and saved properly.
Following is the log output from running manuskript:
[fedora@localhost ~]$ manuskript

EDIT: Note that I did not observe the following line that @tyhawk experienced.
Icon theme "NumixMsk" not found.
This suggests that something is wrong with the manuskript installation.
I'm running Manjaro, which is Arch based, and Manuskript is in de AUR (Arch User Repository). The "install script" is the PKGBUILD file (https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=manuskript-git).
The project that keeps crashing is a new project, started with version 0.8.0 using the empty template. I am saving the project as multiple (uncompressed) files because I put everything in a private Gitlab repo and I don't want my material to be held hostage by a single piece of software, saving everything in some obscure file format. One of the reasons I love Manuskript is because it allows me to do just that.
I doubt the missing icon theme is the reason for the crash as it only happens on the editor tab.
I haven't had time to troubleshoot further, so I haven't checked my already existing projects yet nor the workaround proposed by @Obsurdity
To investigate further you might consider Running Manuskript from Source Code on Linux to see if the segmentation fault still occurs.
If the problem persists then you might run the GNU Debugger to capture a stack trace of the crash.
To do this, change into the source code directory for Manuskipt and run the make debug command.
When the GNU Debugger starts with prompt (gdb) type run and then try to reproduce the crash. The debugging output should hopefully point to where the segmentation fault occurs.
@Obsurdity I tried your workaround by copying the settings.txt file from the example project, but the crash still occurs. The workaround doesn't seem to work for me. I did change a few settings though, so I will try to figure out if that causes the issue today.
@gedakc, I installed using the same method as you from the Manuskript website. I still haven't had any more issues, and can create new projects without issue.
Thank you for your responses.
@Obsurdity thank you for reporting back that Manuskript is working well for you now that you Run Manuskript from Source Code on Linux.
I'm beginning to suspect a problem with the ArchLinux AUR Package. The reason is because the problem disappeared after @Obsurdity chose to Run from Source Code. Additionally another user of the AUR package also experiences problems and has reported the same console log message Icon theme "NumixMsk" not found. See issue #472. The missing icon them is a symptom of at least one issue with the ArchLinux AUR package.
@tyhawk would you be able to try to Run Manuskript from Source Code on Linux?
If this fixes the problem then perhaps one of you could report the issue to the ArchLinux AUR Package maintainers.
I'm trying to determine what entry in the settings file causes the crash, if only to be able to point the package maintainer to a possible solution. I'm also contemplating the possibility that this could be a bug that may hit other platforms in the future if not resolved, as Arch-based systems use very new packages. I know the issue doesn't seem to occur on OpenSUSE, but is that Leap 15 only or Tumbleweed (which is on par with Arch) as well? I haven't had time to test this on a fresh Tumbleweed install (yet).
The ArchLinux AUR Package is old (0.7.0.r0.g97e4679-1). The most recent Manuskript release is 0.8.0 and the develop branch in git includes many more improvements.
I suggest running from source code with the develop branch. If you can reproduce the error then create a new Manuskript issue here, describe the steps you take to recreate the crash, and include the console log (the text from the terminal window when you invoke manuskript until the time of the crash).
@gedakc It installs from the current git master branch, so installing it with the PKGBUILD will install version 0.8.0. That's also the version I am running currently.
Thank you for the info about the ArchLinux AUR Package pulling from the current git master branch.
If this is the case then it appears that there is still something different between Running from Source code with the git master branch, and running from the ArchLinux AUR Package. Specifically the ArchLinux AUR Package console log shows "Icon theme "NumixMsk" not found" on start up, and this indicates at least one thing is different, and we don't know how many other things are different.
Note that I have been unable to reproduce the issue on Kubuntu, Fedora, or Windows. That is why I ask you to try Running from Source Code.
I have a problem with an identical description though I don't know if it's the same issue. I am on Fedora 29 with GNOME. I believe the problem does not appear if you use the default (for me) theme - I was using Adwaita-Dark, and here is the backtrace from gdb (running make debug on develop branch)

It also occurs with Adwaita, and Breeze themes (the backtrace is similar but the frames with Adwaita stuff above are a single frame in breeze.so). I don't think this will be a theme bug since it occurs in two different theme engines.
This bug doesn't just happen when I'm doing nothing though - it happens due to focus events of some kind. Basically I can trigger it by opening a piece of text in the editor (with an affected theme selected) and waving the mouse around (within the window and out of the window - I have focus follows mouse - and also to the window titlebar.)
I hope this helps track things down. It's a bit annoying though because I use a dark GNOME them and cannot get Qt themes to follow it without explicitly selecting a similar dark one. I have a qt5ct-style which IIRC is supposed to use the GTK style, but it crashes the application when I select it.
Sorry for the late respons, but between real life stuff and switching from Manjaro to OpenSUSE, I've not had time to further test this issue. On Manjaro, I came to the conclusion that the likely suspect were these settings in the settings.txt:
+ "marginsLR": 5,
+ "marginsTB": 5,
Whenever I changed these from 0 (default?) to anything else, Manuskript crashed within a few minutes.
On OpenSUSE, I've not encountered the issue yet, even though I use the same source files. I can only assume the issue is caused by something in the code combined with the Manjaro packages that Manuskript requires to run.
On a side note, I created an RPM for Manuskript, which is available through OBS. Feel free to link to it on your site if you like: https://build.opensuse.org/repositories/home:tyrannishawk. It hosts builds for Tumbleweed, Leap 15.0, Leap 15.1 and ARM.
Sounds like it is related to Qt which handles the margins and most visual properties.
so, today I have same issue, On Manjaro, but package was from repository (community or extra as I remember). I searched here more about it and reproduce problem with make debug, logs were interesting in one place...

this log seems to point to where the bug is (QWidget::mapFromParent), If I really know how to work with gdb, I should start fixing, but I don't know, so, I need some time or more help.
