Kompozer/Nvu issue

Recently started using openSUSE 11.1, have a problem with Kompozer/Nvu for website design. While working on an existing page, the program disappears - no error messages, no warning, just gone. I have removed the program and reinstalled, and it still happens. I have also edited my user profile to make sure I have the correct permissions, with no change. Any suggestions?

I can second there being something seriously haywire with kompozer 0.7.10 crashing unexpectedly. It is, sadly, simply too undependable to used for anything at all.

I’ve been able to reproduce the same kind of crashing activity ( an easy test is to try FILE -> Recent Pages and wait for the crash ). Right-Click Menus seem to provoke crashes, as well as Save As, Color Setting Fonts.

It happens in 11.0, in 11.1 with kde 3.59 and kde 4.1.2 as well as in XFCE. I thought it was related to username and permissions, but have tried everything from new users and newly installed komposer to completely new installations on new machines.

And it’s alway broken. Frankly, I’m looking at Quanta, Amaya, Bluefish, Arachnophilia, Komodo - anything that has WYSIWYG, code views, Before I give up totally, though, I am going to reinstall an old 0.7.7 and try that on a new machine, Then if that fails, go back to the old NVU.

I don’t know if this is related to something that changed in OpenSUSE 11.n —> anyone with experience using it currently is welcome to chime in with some config details.

Hi,

have also a look on this thread:

you could try Kompozer or NVU through wine.

I use Seamonkey Composer.
