Monodevelop 2.2 RC2 Texteditor crashes reproducably?

Created attachment 327561 [details] console output Description of Problem: I just downloaded the latest version of MonoDevelop (2.2 RC2), tried opening a project (a simple hello-world console application first, then any other project.. always the same) which works fine, but as soon as I want to open a file itself to edit, MonoDevelop crashes. Same with new projects (when MD automatically opens the first file after creation) etc.. nothing I can do. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open MD 2.2 RC2 2. Create a new or open an existing project 3. Try opening one of the project's source files Actual Results: MD crashes Expected Results: Text Editor shown? How often does this happen? All the time Additional Information: The Mac OS X .crash log & the console log are attached. Additionally, I've recorded a screencast that shows the problem & uploaded it to vimeo at:

Looks like a memory allocation issue in pango, the text rendering library that GTK uses. What font are you using? Does this happen with all text files?
Can you try to set another font edit>options>TextEditor>General ? I believe it has something to do with the 'Menlo' font. And yes this is a pango issue we can't do much about :(
Mike, I indeed had Menlo set as font. It was just somewhat surprising because it did work for all builds < 2.2 RC2 (with Menlo set). Should I file a bug with pango instead? Cheers & thanks, -J
Jörg, I believe the issue was triggered by recent changes in MacOS 10.6.2, not MD. I don't know if the Pango devs are aware of it yet - it might even have been fixed in a newer Pango release - but if you could follow up with upstream that would be very helpful, thanks! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 554451 ***
