Geany 1.26 crashes on Mac Os X opening text file with Unicode emojis

[lucasvieites]

Hi,
I'm having trouble opening a text file when it contains Unicode emoticons (or emojis, as you prefer).
I am attaching a screenshot of how the file looks when opened in the Sublime Text editor (my backup editor, along with vim), a copy of the text file that crashes on my MacBook and the content of the report that it wants me to send to Apple (haha).

Kind regards,
Lucas

Work for me under Debian GNU/Linux, so it must depend on some OSX specifics.

The crash happened inside Pango getting a font metric, try another font to see if maybe something is unusual about this one.

Otherwise its a bug inside Scintilla and needs to be reported to that project www.scintilla.org

@lucasvieites are you using the bundle from here or have you installed with a package manager/compiled from source?

[lucasvieites]

Hi,
thanks for looking into this.
@codebrainz: yes, I'm using the bundle from the download page.
@elextr: good point, I was using Droid Sans Mono when it crashed like that. When I changed to Dejavu Sans Mono I got:

I tried several other classic fonts like Courier New and Monaco, and they all crashed with similar dumps:

Will be fixed in 1.27 bundle using newer pango library which has this issue fixed. Corresponding bugzilla report

@lucasvieites Could you try with Geany 1.27? At least for me the crash is fixed. Another issue is the emoticons don't display correctly (I guess missing Unicode 8 support in some of the libraries used) but at least Geany shouldn't crash.

[lucasvieites]

Hi, this seems fixed in 1.27 on Linux. I'll try at work tomorrow on the MacBook I had issues with before and will update you with the results.

[lucasvieites]

Confirmed as fixed in Geany 1.27 on MacOS X.

Thank you all for the work.
