I've built git from sources and the version is: wink@pacific:~/foss/protobuf-2.1.0$ git --version git version 1.6.3.GIT -- Wink ``` ## Jeff Epler, 2009-07-06 00:16 Subject: Re: Git gui error RenderBadPicture Message-ID: <20090706001658.GA3745@unpythonic.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20090706001658.GA3745%40unpythonic.net In-Reply-To: ``` This is likely due to a bug in Tk, the widget toolkit of 'git gui'. The bug was set to "obsolete" back in 2007, but there's no indication the problem was fixed. https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=112997&aid=1821174&group_id=12997 Jeff ``` ## Wink Saville, 2009-07-06 00:47 Subject: Re: Git gui error RenderBadPicture Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/d4cf37a60907051747n4ca55c28oed36a0349ace7948%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20090706001658.GA3745@unpythonic.net> ``` A little more information, using Ctrl-Q for exiting doesn't get around the problem. That only works if you happen to exit immediately, if you do something such as click on a file and show the differences it also reports the same error. -- Wink On Sun, Jul 5, 2009 at 5:16 PM, Jeff Epler wrote: > This is likely due to a bug in Tk, the widget toolkit of 'git gui'.  The > bug was set to "obsolete" back in 2007, but there's no indication the > problem was fixed. > > https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=112997&aid=1821174&group_id=12997 > > Jeff > ``` ## Pat Thoyts, 2009-07-06 09:22 Subject: Re: Git gui error RenderBadPicture Message-ID: <87tz1qjhcd.fsf@users.sourceforge.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/87tz1qjhcd.fsf%40users.sourceforge.net In-Reply-To: ``` You might like to raise this on the Tk bug tracker at sourceforge. On my Ubuntu system I can reproduce this with Tk 8.5.7 but not with 8.4.19 nor the current HEAD (8.6b1.1). As this is something in the use of Xft I'd not expect to see a problem with 8.4.x as this was added to 8.5+. I can't see anything explicit that should have fixed this in the 8.6 tree though. -- Pat Thoyts http://www.patthoyts.tk/ PGP fingerprint 2C 6E 98 07 2C 59 C8 97 10 CE 11 E6 04 E0 B9 DD ```
