A Debian sane user has reported a bug with xscanimage exiting in<br>
undesirable places.  By installing<br>
newer version of some of the supporting libraries, I managed to make<br>
xscanimage exit without any accompanying error messages.<br>
<p>
Here's my description of how to reproduce the bug. <br>
<p>
start xscanimage with a Umax Astra 1200S<br>
Click on "Preview Window"<br>
move the scan resolution slider<br>
click on "Preview Window" again<br>
<p>
after the second "Preview Window" click, xscanimage exits.  I include<br>
the library version which I am using (the number after the dash is the<br>
Debian release number and can be ignored by non-Debian people, as can<br>
the "1:" in the libgtk1 version).<br>
<p>
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?<br>
<p>
Please include a cc to "20690-forwarded@bugs.debian.org" for Debian<br>
bug-tracking purposes.<br>

<p>
I have found that when I click the Preview Window in the umax area, then<br>
adjust some settings, and click the Preview Window button again, xscanimage<br>
will crash.<br>
