Crash with auto-hidden repository view and Zooom

Postby mjpieters » Wed Feb 14, 2007 11:25 am

Hi,

I am evaluating Synchro SVN after hearing positive stories about it. My first impression is certainly good, except that I can make it crash consistently when setting the repository view to auto-hide while another Mac extension, called 'Zooom', is active. Zooom is an extension that adds easy resizing, moving and auto-raising to the Mac window manager, making it behave in a similar way to many X11 window managers.

Platform: Mac OS X (10.4)
Steps to reproduce:
  • Run Zooom (http://coderage-software.com/zooom/)
  • Start Synchro SVN with the default layout (no prefs changed)
  • Switch the repository view to auto-hide (yellow bubble)
  • Mouse-over the resulting tab, then try and move the mouse to the 'add repository' button

At this point Synchro SVN will crash, wether or not the app has been added to the Zooom ignore list. I'll also report this problem to the Zooom authors of course, it's just that this is the only time I ever ran into such a problem.

Please let me know if you want me to email the stack trace.

Hello Martijn,

Indeed, the steps you indicated are reproducing the problem. Searching on the Internet I found in the forums of coderage-software different reports regarding the interraction between the Java applications and the Zooom. It looks that Zooom uses some API that Apple has not fully implemented in the Java Virtual Machine for the Mac OS X. See for instance:

http://coderage-software.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=36&highlight=java

The workaround is to avoid making the dockable frames auto-hiddable.

Thank you for letting us know about this,

Dan

Indeed, not making windows auto-hide avoids the problem altogether.

The problem with Zooom and Java is that Zooom cannot resize or move Java windows, but it doesn't actually do anything to them because the API is lacking. You need to first press a modifier key before Zooom would attempt to move or resize anyway, and the crash occurs without any Zooom-specific modifiers being pressed.

The way I understand it, Zooom does install some Window Server event taps, and the presence of such a tap may trigger a bug in the Java libraries. De-activating Zooom removes the event taps, thus avoiding the bug.

Here is an excerpt from CodeRage's response to my report (they saw the trace):

Here's hoping that they are the ones passing in a NULL pointer to some system routine from their JNI library, and thus can control this bug.


I also suspect that the fault here lies with Apple (assuming that libawt.jnilib is a core Java API). As you can see from the following trace, the bug appears to be caused by libawt.jnilib when com.apple.AppKit attempts to access some accessibility info:
