Bluefish Turns Belly-Up

Question

Earlier this afternoon I was using Bluefish Editor on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with no problem. After installing this afternoon's kernel patch (3.13.0-76-generic), even before rebooting, Bluefish will no longer launch. The first twice I saw the "Applicaton has crashed" alert; now I don't even see that. The only trace I can find is a single-line entry in syslog:

kernel: [ 2947.945466] traps: bluefish[10388] trap int3 ip:7feb062cec13 sp:7fff52a723b0 error:0

I have reinstalled, then removed and reinstalled; what else should I try? I'm working with Bluefish 2.2.5 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS.

Corrupted local files

In many cases, when removing/reinstalling does not work, corrupted local files are the cause. Often these local files are in a hidden folder (starting with a dot) in your home directory.

In the case of Bluefish, just remove the folder ~/.bluefish. That should work :)
