No crash here. The core problem is thread safety issues in the signature checking code. Crashes can also be triggered by switching messages quickly or rechecking the signature quickly. GPG takes much longer to check the signature on Windows than Linux, so Windows is more prone to the crash. |
Created attachment 2237 [details] stack trace of the crash There's a race condition between applying preferences and rechecking the signature of an open message that can cause a crash. It's finicky to reproduce, but: 1. Open a signed message 2. Open the preferences window 3. Under Display -> Fonts toggle "Derive small and bold..." and hit Apply Step 3 usually needs to be repeated a few times. Having a compose window open seems to help reproduce it, but that's probably just coincidence.
