Crash on opening feed properties :: Loading /usr/share/liferea/liferea.ui failed

Liferea crashes when trying to open the feed properties.
right-clicking feed > Preferences / opening top menu > Feed > Properties

** (liferea:26056): ERROR **: Loading /usr/share/liferea/liferea.ui failed.

Pretty sure this started happening after upgrading to gtk2 v 2.24.28 / gtk3 v 3.18.0, but this is unconfirmed guessing...

liferea debug-all output (1.4MB / tar.bz2) --> https://db.tt/t7hgoLoM

arch linux
liferea --> 1.11.5.r5336.g2f3d1aa-1
gtk2 --> 2.24.28-1
gtk3 --> 3.18.0-1

I can confirm this bug on Liferea 1.10.16 and Gnome 3.18

Hmmm strange.

The file /usr/share/liferea/liferea.ui does exist?

And can you load it with the glade UI editor?

[glitsj16]

Confirming that the file does exist and has the usual read permissions.. It loads just fine with the glade UI editor (glade-gtk2).. Puzzling indeed. Will try to downgrade some libs and see if that changes something.. Thanks for looking into this.

same OS (archlinux)
this happens with liferea git and also the production version 1.10.
the file exits and readable.

The actual error is Object with ID liststore6 not found. The propdialog uses that object and it is not in the list of requested objects in liferea_dialog_new.

It worked with GTK+ 3.16 and no longer does with GTK+ 3.18, not sure why. Adding liststore6 to the requested objects "fixes" it.

I'll send a pull request, but there may be a better fix, as it worked before ...

[glitsj16]

Confirming that Leiaz's proposed fix does solve this issue with GTK+ 3.18 on archlinux. Thanks Leiaz!

@Leiaz @glitsj16 Thanks for the fix and the retest! This solves it for 1.11 (which was missing the liststore6 declaration).

The strange thing is the report from @rezad1393 about it not working in 1.10 where liststore6 is declared...
