Crash when object is selected
Closed, ArchivedPublicKNOWN ISSUE

Description

I have some objects in a blend and when I select one blender crashes, I reopen the blend and it crashes again when I select the same object. I can reopen the same blend and the same thing keeps happening.

I can't reproduce another blend that does this but I will attach the one that does


just select one of the three boxes in the middle to crash, not sure if it works on other computers though

Event Timeline

Doesn't crash on our machines here.

Could you give a bit more info? (Operating System, Graphic Card, ...)

Yeah,
It's a vista home basic 32-bit OS

VisionTek Radeon x1300 graphics card

I can check if it's the OS, I have two other vista computers I can use within a week, and if I have problems on them too then, well we'll know if it's the just vista

Can you try selecting With Ctrl+RMB?
This uses the object center rather then the graphics card for selecting.

o thanks, that works

so its the graphics card I guess

If your willing to spend some time helping a developer find out where it crashes, by testing a debug build, that be useful. otherwise a blender developer would probably need to be able to reproduce your bug.

Its possible blender is missing some check for glSelect failing, however in this case blender would be unusable anyway.

You could also try to provide some details.
Does it crash when selecting
* Posebones
* In wireframe/textured/solid
* meshes/metaballs/curves etc.
* Selecting in editmode.


Could you try installing a different driver for your graphics card? if its not fixed report this bug to your graphics card vendor.

This is a generic request to test your bug report and see if it is still an issue in 2.5alpha2 if so please let me know by making a comment in this report ie 'also in 2.5alpha2' and I will add it to the 2.5 bug list.
