Bluefish HTML Editor

I upgraded today to OSS Leap 15.5 KDE in hopes of getting a working version of Bluefish. The same is happening in Bluefish 2.2.12 as when I had 15.4: When I attempt to save settings from preferences when hitting OK button, the app disappears (crashes). I am unable to save any kind of settings in this app. In 15.3 and previous versions, Bluefish worked just fine. Do you have a suggestion for a repository with a stable version? Or a suggestion for alternative stable HTML editor? Thanks in advance.

@HealingMindNOS Hi, you need to start from a terminal session and see what the output says when it crashes.

Compiled the last Version and I do not have your issue.

bluefish -v
Bluefish Editor 2.2.14
Besuchen Sie uns auf http://bluefish.openoffice.nl

Also the bluefish from Education Repo seems to be working here on Leap 15.5.

I can change preferences and save them without problems.

Here is the readout from my Konsole upon activating bluefish:

Here is Konsole whenever I attempt to save a setting (I tried it 4X):

Here is Konsole when I hit the OK button in settings:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

You are running Bluefish 2.2.12.

In the Education Repo its on Version 2.2.14.
That was also the Version I installed two times,

  1. by using configure - make - makeinstall
  2. by uninstalling the above Version and installing the one from the Education Repo:
    https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/15.5/

OK, that’s what I needed. Thank You very much! :people_hugging:

I have 2.2.12 on Leap 15.5 and it has run without any problems from the outset. I wonder if there was conflict with the Gtk libraries you had installed.

Apparently so, conflicts akimbo. What matters is I now having a working dedicated HTML editor.
