Hi there! I've been using CodeBlocks for a few years on Windows, so when I got my PocketCHIP for on-the-go programming it was natural for me to want to install it there.
PocketCHIP runs a Debian Linux distro and has a small resolution screen (480 x 272).
I installed the latest codeblocks available (16.01 - rev. 10692, SDK version 1.29.0) via apt-get install codeblocks
The nature of the problem seems to be with the UI wigets. Many times the container widgets don't behave correctly.
Some specific examples:
When viewing code files in tabs, often a selected tab will not show any content - it just comes to the front but contains no scrollpane with the code.
When hiding some windows (Messages, Log, for example) the widgets won't give up their screen space - the contents disappear, but an empty grey space remains that the remaining visible windows won't fill.
I can provide some screenshots if that would be helpful.
I made a post about it in the official PocketCHIP forum and have had two other users confirm they are also having the same issues. Can anyone help us make CodeBlocks usable for PocketCHIP?
