Application crash during parameter input in ruler properties (reproducible after some work time)

edited September 2021 in KLayout Support

Hi folks,

I encounter a strange problem, when working with rulers in klayout: I often use rulers to dimension chip features for creating images, which are then used by other AutoCAD engineers. For older designs I often have to adapt the properties of the ellipse rulers to catch the correct curvature of a feature. First, everything works like expected, but after some parameter alterations, the klayout application crashes with some sort of code like printed below. Sometimes I can work a little bit longer, sometimes the program crashes after some alterations only.

Exception code: 0xc0000005
Program Version: KLayout 0.27.3 (2021-07-23 rcb085069e) AMD64

  • The dump does not tell a lot.

    Could you explain a bit more in detail what you are doing? Do you adjust the dimensions by dragging the ellipse or do you change the values with the properties dialog? Are you closing the dialog or do you keep it open? Do you delete rulers? Are you adding new ones?

    Your answer is coming very fast. Nice to see, that the tool is maintained so well!

    The crash happens, when I am editing ruler properties with the properties dialog on an existing ruler. For example, during the typing of a value in a field. It does not happen, when I add or delete a ruler or change the ruler by dragging. Often, I can work for some minutes without crash, but when it crashed once, it crashes quite fast, when I restart the program and try it again. After a computer restart, this is recovered again.

  • @floz Thanks for this description. I see you're on Windows.

    I'll try to reproduce the problem although there is no warranty. Random fails are always difficult to trigger.

  • Hi Matthias,

    yes with Klayout I mainly work on Windows, but it happens on Linux also.

    Regards, Florian

  • Hi, Matthias!

    May be logging could be helpful at least to restore sequence of events? But I'm not sure about level.

    @floz I tried many times to reproduce the problem without success. Maybe you have special settings?

    Could you paste a screenshot from your ruler properties dialog?

    Thanks,

    Matthias
