Bug Description

Binary package hint: brasero

Brasero crashes without any error mesage (it just closes) if you try to do copy and paste in an audio project.
Steps to reproduce:
1) open a new audio project
2) add a file (in my case a mp3) to the project
3) mark this file
4) press Ctrl-C to copy
5) paste with Ctrl-V => crash

% brasero --version
GNOME brasero 0.8.3
on Intrepid

Thank you for your bug-report. Could you please try versio 0.9.1-0ubuntu3~intrepid1 from intrepid-backports? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports for information on how to enable. Version 0.8.3 seems not to be published in intrepid, did you compile it yourself?

Oh I'm sorry, because of Bug #294268 I did compile it myself. I forgot to use --prefix=/usr though, that's why I had two versions installed. (I had reverted to the package manager when the fix was committed)
However this bug still affects version 0.9.1 from the Intrepid backports. The output to the terminal is as follows:

% brasero
zsh: segmentation fault brasero

OK, please follow the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach a backtrace with full debug-symbols to your report. The needed packages are:
brasero-dbgsym, libtotem-plparser12-dbgsym, libglib2.0-0-dbgsym, libgtk2.0-0-dbgsym

Thanks.

Before following your suggestions, I wanted to attach the output of "braser --debug", but the funny thing is that I can't reproduce the error any more.
But I made an interesting discovery. It seems that you can't copy an element of the brasero content list but you can paste to the content list. (the list which shows you which (audio) files were already added to the project) Actually this behaviour is somewhat logical, who wants to have the same track several times on his disc? (I did)
So this time brasero tried to import "gpg -o - --export 428D7C01 | sudo apt-key add -" on Ctrl-V because that was the last string I had copied. (from the manuel you linked)
So it seems that it was whatever I had copied to my clipboard the other day what crashed brasero.
My proposal is to check the clipboard content before pasting and adding it to the project. (only files allowed)

Please let me know if I can help you in other ways with this bug...

a backtrace is needed in order to see where it's crashing, please try to obtain one with the instructions previously described, thanks.

Well I'm lucky, pasting is crashing brasero at the moment, it seems that the clipboard is actually empty...
I'm attaching the output of "brasero --debug", the backtrace will follow soon

I'm lucky, I succeded in generating the backtrace, but as I don't know how to install the *-dbgsym for backported apps, this is for GNOME brasero 0.8.2 (ie not from the backports)

I'm almost sure that brasero crashes because I paste an empty clipboard. Now my clipboards isn't empty anymore, so as well no crash anymore

As far as I can see, this bugs seems fixed. No crash and the "Paste" entry in the context menu is grayed with an empty clipboard.
Thanks
