Ctrl+scroll on filmstrip causes app to terminate

[brucewilliamsphotography]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones

Describe the bug

Using 5.4, and if I ctrl+mouse wheel to zoom in/out of the filmstrip (in lighttable view), the app terminates without prejudice.

Steps to reproduce

Open lighttable view
Ctrl + mousewheel to zoom in
Not always immediately, but for me, within 15 seconds, the app will crash.

Expected behavior

keep working and show me the refined set of thumbnails.

Are you using OpenCL GPU in darktable?

Yes

If yes, what is the GPU card and driver?

RTX3070

Please provide additional context if applicable. You can attach files too, but might need to rename to .txt or .zip

I cannot reproduce, on my side I have properly the filmstrip being zoomed in/out. I have done that for more than 10 times, no issue. If it crashes consistently on your side could you attach the log? TIA.

[dterrahe]

It reads like this isn't caused by the scrolling/zooming (because that would be immediate) but by the generation of thumbnails at the new thumb size which is triggered afterwards. So you'd have to figure out which image is crashing.

No, it's not zooming the lighttable that's the issue. It's zooming the filmstrip across the bottom (ctrl+mousewheel), which doesn't force any thumbnail redraws (as best as I can tell).

[brucewilliamsphotography]

Pascal, when I'm on my linux box, I'll get a log for you.

[TurboGit]

@brucewilliamsphotography : Thanks, but there is huge chance that @dterrahe is right. When you control zoom the thumbs are resized and if the corresponding size is not in the cache it will trigger a recompute of the thumb at the needed size. So this is probably the issue you have. The backtrace will most probably confirm this.

Let me know if you need anything else.

[jenshannoschwalm]

@brucewilliamsphotography thanks for the log. To me it seems the pixelpipe crashes after rawprepare so likely in whitebalance

1. Does the same problem happens if you start with disabled opencl --disable-opencl ?
2. would you be able to share _DSC0113.arw and it's xmp file ?
3. not sure if any masking problem might be involved here - could you repeat creating a log with -d pipe -d imageio -d opencl -d masks

[brucewilliamsphotography]

Jens,
Attached is a partial log (just what I could capture from the terminal, which I suspect has a limit to the data it can hold).
If this isn't enough, let me know. This was run with the pipe, imageio, opencl and mask arguments.
I can share the raw file you requested, but it doesn't matter what section of the timeline I try to zoom in on, dt cashes, so I don't THINK it's related to one particular image. Interesting side note, I just fired up dt to search for that particular image, and it crashes before I can even run a query in the Collections module!

Hi, i think this issue is likely fixed on master/5.6.1 branches. Would you test again tomorrow with nughtly app or compile yourself?

[TurboGit]

@jenshannoschwalm : You live in the future :) 5.6.1 -> 5.4.1 !
