[PyQt] To long text in qlabel crashes my gdm

[Jan Kotanski]

Hi,

I've just noticed that the following script

    from PyQt4.QtGui import QDialog, QVBoxLayout, QApplication, QLabel

    import sys

    class DateDialog(QDialog):
        def __init__(self, parent = None):
            super(DateDialog, self).__init__(parent)

            layout = QVBoxLayout(self)
            self.mlabel = QLabel(self)
            self.mlabel.setText("a"*2000)
            layout.addWidget(self.mlabel)


    def main():
        app = QApplication(sys.argv)
        w = DateDialog()
        w.show()
        sys.exit(app.exec_())


    if __name__ == '__main__':
        main()


crashes my gdm with the following error:

I use debian jessie with gnome 3 and python-qt4 (4.11.2+dfsg-1)

Is it a known problem? How to fix it?


Best regards,
