[SOLVED] Menu bars not refreshing
« on: July 22, 2016, 02:47:49 pm »
Hi everyone.

I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 on a virtual machine (virtual box)

I installed code blocks and i started coding but sometimes, the visual interface is bugging and some toolbars don't show up.

Example:


In this example, it's the file selection toolbar that doesn't work. It is there, but not refreshing.

Sometimes, it's the button toolbar (run, run&build, build, etc) that doesn't work, but sometimes it's the project arborescence tree on the left that disappear. And sometimes, all of them at the same time.

I'll add that this is not a problem of disactivated toolbars, they just disappear as if they crashed and stopped working. Usually, the toolbars are here but when i do some certain kind of actions (open a context menu for example) then some toolbars stop responding.

I don't know if it's a Codeblocks problem, or linux, or the virtual machine software, but it's quite annoying to program with half the interface missing :(

If you have any ideas or questions, please tell/ask me ;)


Thanks by advance
See ya!

You are using a 3 years old code::blocks on recent ubuntu. This will fail. Please try a more recent build or build it yourself. We couldn't know 3 years back how Ubuntu a will change... ;-)

i don't think so, look at the title of your app: It says "Codeblocks 13.12" ;)

Ubuntu ≠ Code::Blocks

Aw I didn't see i was installing the wrong version.

I went for the good old:

Code
sudo apt-get install codeblocks

It worked so i didn't really look at what it installed.
I'm gonna fix that and let you know about it.


Thx
