TOPIC: Freezes on Arch when loading or creating soundfont

This has started happening recently, so it could be caused by a change in QT or any other library the program depends on.

When loading an existing soundfont, any soundfont, or creating a new one, the program freezes. GDB shows it's stuck in Pile_actions::Maillon::nombreEltRedo().

I haven't been able to get far with this since the code is very confusing to me (I'm not any good with C++).

Hi Marisa,

Welcome to the forum.

Could you please tell me what is the version of Arch Linux and Qt libraries? Is there a procedure somewhere to build Polyphone on Arch? I'll try to reproduce the problem and check what is wrong. This appears not to be the first problem linked to a newer version of Qt.

There isn't really a "version" of Arch Linux. Everything required to run the program is updated to the latest available versions. Qt5 is at 5.7.0.

Polyphone is available for the distribution from here aur.archlinux.org/packages/polyphone/.

I'm seeing exactly the same behaviour on Fedora 24, which has qt5 5.6.1.

I'll try building the git version and looking at nombreEltRedo

Hello,

Thank you for these reports, I was able to reproduce the bug. Some classes need to be reworked so I cannot provide you a simple patch or workaround. The next version of Polyphone will fix the problem.

Regards,
Davy
