Crash On Print

[Owen Arnold]

Found this issue as part of testing for release #6400. This only affects the new mountain lion package. It doesn't happen on any other platform that I've tested, and it also doesn't happen if I install the older snow leopard package on the same hardware. The crash on printing does not affect all types of plot. 1D plots seem fine.

• Load a Matrix Workspace
• Bring up a Color Fill Plot
• Go to File -> Print
• Print -> Mantid Crashes.

As we are not officially supporting the 10.4 yet, I've pushed this issue to the next release.

Moved to r2.6 at the end of r2.5

[Russell Taylor]

I've seen this crash too and find that it goes away when I upgrade to Qt 4.8.5 (it was there with 4.8.4) so presumably the solution is to upgrade the build server that makes the package.

[Martyn Gigg]

I'll make a note and upgrade the buildserver next week.

[Martyn Gigg]

I've upgraded the package on the buildserver and following the instructions above with a package from develop doesn't seem to crash on our 10.8 box

[Russell Taylor]

Tested it on my Mountain Lion machine with packages from the ISIS buildserver and printing now works fine with these.

Looking wider, this minor Qt upgrade should be a low risk change and this will be checked by the pre-release exploratory testing.
