When you run gitk from a git repository on Windows it starts up and starts updating its 'Row X/Y' output labels. This lasts for a few seconds but if you terminate the application before this updating is complete you get a Windows message stating: 'Wish Application has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.' and the standard 'Send Error Report'/'Don't Send' buttons. Hope this helps. Best regards, Jurko Gospodnetić ``` ## Eric Raible, 2008-07-28 16:29 Subject: Re: gitk crashing on Windows.

I don't think so. The error Jurko reported might be the same error that was reported earlier and filed as issue 125: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=125 I don't think the problem is Windows-specific. At least on Mac I am seeing similar problems. When I hit CTRL-q while gitk is still reading the commits, it crashes with as segfault.

But the fact remains that it used to reliably crash on me, and no longer does with more recent source. But I still can't find a relevant commit, which makes me feel like I'm a) still a complete git newbie, or b) imagining the whole thing. - Eric ``` ## Dmitry Potapov, 2008-07-29 13:15 Subject: Re: gitk crashes when quitting gitk while it is is reading commits (was Re: gitk crashing on Windows.)

On Linux, when I hit CTRL-q (after a few attempts), I got this: invalid command name ".tf.histframe.pwclist.canv" while executing "$canv yview" (procedure "drawvisible" line 5) invoked from within "drawvisible" (procedure "layoutmore" line 14) invoked from within "layoutmore" (procedure "chewcommits" line 5) invoked from within "chewcommits" ("eval" body line 1) invoked from within "eval $script" (procedure "dorunq" line 9) invoked from within "dorunq" ("after" script) X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 8 (X_MapWindow) Resource id in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 2453 Current serial number in output stream: 2456 Dmitry ```
