I justed upgraded to rev 6187 and suddenly the project properties window is unreasonably large (vertically it nearly fills the whole screen with a lot of unused space at the bottom in most tabs). Horizontal size seems to be okay.

Ubuntu 9.04, 64 bit

can confirm this also happens on windows.

the window cannot be resized either.

Just noticed, that I posted this in the wrong forum section. You might want to move it to the development section, so it doesn't get lost. This bug surely should be fixed first, if you want to have a new release.

It's best to report it to the bug tracker, there wouldn't be lost... :lol:

Also have you tried to delete/move ~/.codeblocks ?

Zini · « **Reply #4 on:** March 12, 2010, 10:34:24 am »

I was refering to the announcement for the new release, that requested all show stopper bugs to be posted in the development section.

Anyway, here is the bug report: https://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=16951&group_id=5358

And no, removing .codeblocks didn't fix anything.

Weired... doesn't happen here. Can you post another screenshot with the second (third...) tab, please?

Ok, nothing special here... I guess I need the other tabs, too. :?

Zini · « **Reply #11 on:** March 13, 2010, 09:28:53 pm »

Sorry to disappoint you, but there is nothing special to see either, especially since each screenshot only shows a fraction of the window content.

But after comparing the tabs and doing some scrolling I made the following observations:

- All tabs but "Project settings" and EnvVars use all of the available vertical space.
- The vertical scrollbar slider has the same size in each tab.
- In the debugger tab the "Additional debugger search dirs:" and the "Remote debugging support (GDB only!)" take each half the available vertical space.

And one more:

in the Libraries tab the "Known libraries" frame is nearly exactly high enough to contain all entries without having a separate scroll bar (there is actually space for one more, i.e. one blank line at the bottom).

The error does not happen here (debian 64-bit).

What was the last revision, where it works correctly ?

Zini · « **Reply #14 on:** March 13, 2010, 10:42:48 pm »

Last one I know of is 5892 (didn't upgrade for a while)

Jenna · « **Reply #15 on:** March 14, 2010, 01:49:45 pm »

Does this happen with all projects, also simple wizard created console project (for example) ?
If not, where is the difference ?
Can you provide a simple test project where the issue occurs ?

Zini · « **Reply #16 on:** March 14, 2010, 02:35:50 pm »

Happens with all projects, even a freshly created console project.

Zini · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2010, 08:36:22 pm »

I think I have found a (partial) answer by doing the following experiment:

I renamed one of the .pc files on my system by giving it a different extension (.pc2), so the library finder wouldn't pick it up anymore. And indeed the window is one line shorter now. So it seems a huge number of .pc files causes the problem.

Zini · « **Reply #18 on:** March 14, 2010, 08:42:24 pm »

Further proof: Disabling the Library Finder plugin made the problem go away.

reckless · « **Reply #19 on:** March 15, 2010, 01:20:36 am »

that actually fixed it Oo

hmm i wonder why pkg-config files messes up the viewsize :?

Zini · « **Reply #20 on:** March 15, 2010, 01:26:16 am »

Wouldn't call that a fix. Anyway, it is probably some misconfiguration of the window layout. If it were my preferred GUI library (Gtkmm), I would know which flag to change. Unfortunately I have no clue about WxWidgets, so I can't continue investigating from here without digging through massive amount of documentation (for which I absolutely don't have the time).

reckless · « **Reply #21 on:** March 15, 2010, 03:26:18 am »

aye not a fix as such but good find atleast we now know which plugin causes it

not much into wxwidgets myself im afraid usually i work in old style C and just recently started dablling a bit into C++.

syntax is pretty alike so guess someday ill be able to handle it as well
