Bug Description

Reproduced on Windows XP (32-bit) with Inkscape 0.92.x rev. 15025.
Not reproduced with trunk rev. 15028.

Steps:
1. Open a blank new Inkscape instance.
2. Resize the application window to the minimal possible size.
-> Crash with the following errors:
  - an error window showing "Glib-ERROR **: gmem.c:239: failled to allocate 16 bytes aborting..." (the bytes value changes each time you try).
  - a console message saying "GLib:ERROR:gmain.c:2444:g_main_dispatch: assertion failed: (current->dispatching_sources == &current_source_link)"

GDB backtrace attached.

Probably related to a bug in the devlibs (glib is rather old). Since we have no plan to update the win32 devlibs for 0.92 (particularly glib), I suggest we try to find a workaround in the code.

Could anyone test the Windows 64-bit package and confirm it only affects win32?

Give me a link to which package you want to be tested, and I'd be more than glad to do it. Running Windows 7 x64 here.

Thanks Rick!
Just checked ftp://download.tuxfamily.org/inkscape/win64/, and there's no package available for the 0.92.x branch for now. I'm going to ask Eduard if he can provide the missing package.

Tested again with 0.92.x rev. 15043. The trace is not always the same. Apart from the one already reported, it sometimes crashes in one of the following functions:
- in sp_desktop_widget_size_allocate(_GtkWidget*, _GdkRectangle*) ()
- in sp_desktop_widget_update_zoom(SPDesktopWidget*) ()

The bug is apparently due to a typo when mass renaming a var.
Patch tested on Windows XP, Inkscape 0.92.x rev. 15043.

The same patch seems to also fix bug #1608152 "Canvas drawing errors".
Please test!
