Backtrace Edit (15.3 KiB, text/plain)

I get this crash as well, but only when it's running as a panel applet. When I run it as an application-- launched with "mono --debug /usr/lib/tomboy/Tomboy.exe" with icon in the information area instead of the panel-- the crash does not occur.

I'm missing some -dbgsym packages but I can't tell which ones.

Also, I'm fairly certain that this crash started after the upgrade from 0.15.6 to 0.15.7-0ubuntu1.

tomboy-debug.txt Edit (3.1 KiB, text/plain)

Confirming this crash. Happens when selecting "Search All Notes" from panel icon, or "Search" from an individual note.
I get the same backtrace as Frank.

Attaching the output of
$ mono --debug /usr/lib/tomboy/Tomboy.exe --sm-disable --panel-applet --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:TomboyApplet_Factory --oaf-ior-fd=33

which seems to have more information.

Janne, just fyi, because of this bug Tomboy 1.0 also introduces a change that redirects all output from Tomboy (when run as a panel applet) to a separate log file called tomboy-panel.log. Note that logs and other Tomboy-related files have moved in recent development releases:
