Crashing all the time in the last few days

During the last few days, I downloaded about half a dozen XaraLX builds and all of them crash immediately whenever I try to open any XAR file or try to draw anything (as soon as I release the mouse button). This is also true for the latest 1349 build I downloaded just minutes ago.

I am using Ubuntu Dapper Drake Linux and until this week, Xara worked all right for me.

At first I thought this is some transitional phase and will be fixed in later builds but now I am not sure - maybe I am the only one getting this crash?

The crash report follows (starting Xara, trying to draw a rectangle):

Your crash seems to be somewhere inside the CDraw library, and there may be nothing you can do about this until someone at Xara notices and fixes it. Given that you have a stack trace, you might want to report your bug at the Xara Bugzilla

That's an interesting one. Can you file a report at http://bugzilla.xara.com/ please. I don't think we've seen that report before, and if it's repeatable would be very interested. I developer on Ubuntu Dapper x86_64 and can also run on Ubuntu Dapper i386, so if it goes wrong for you simply drawing a rectangle I'd be most interested to know why.

Thanks, I did that: http://bugzilla.xara.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1189

thats exactly my expirience to. I run kubuntu 6. I did try do install some older versions, but without success. Does someone know what the last woring version was? The stable version I cant use cause I need the line gallery ...

Oky, I found 1239 that one works.

This has been fixed as of rev. 1355.

Looks like we made an error on the compile flags for CDraw so it wasn't working on older CPU's. Sorry.
