Hi! I hope you won't kill me if I post some bugs here instead of over at BerliOS. I really don't want to register just for that, and these bugs are so small. =/ (But I will if you insist though.)

Alright, here goes:

1. Abbreviations: The "--->" thingy inserts an actual tab character even though I've told CB to insert tabs as spaces.

2. The caret doesn't stop blinking when I press the tab key, so after repeated tabs the caret disappears and I must wait a short while to see where I am. (In contrast to when I press backspace several times and always see the caret.)

[edit]
I'm using WinXP SP2 and the latest CB nightly.

Thanks for the best IDE ever!

The problem there is that it uses a cbStyledTextCtrl (the preview window over there) which haves the settings hardcoded, they aren't readed from the settings that cbEditor (the main editor) uses.

The following editor-preview windows haves that inconsistency:
-Source formatter (AStyle)
-Default code
-Abbreviations
-Syntax highlighting


Another little inconsistency is that 'Syntax highlighting' let's you select a language other than C/C++, while:
-Source formatter (AStyle) does not: it's ok as AStyle doesn't support another language, but there should be a warning. In the future even supporting other source formatters for other languages will be better.
-Default code does not: this shouldn't be difficult to solve.
-Abbreviations does not: neither this.

2. The caret doesn't stop blinking when I press the tab key, so after repeated tabs the caret disappears and I must wait a short while to see where I am. (In contrast to when I press backspace several times and always see the caret.)
Have you tried disabling "Hide cursor as you type" in Windows' cursor settings?

1. Oh, okay. Just wanted to point it out. =)

2. Maybe you thought I meant the mouse cursor? =) I mean the focus marker which blinks where you type (while you're not typing). This is the only program I know of that "misbehaves" on this issue. I mean, it does work for backspace.

I also tried what you said, but it didn't help. Not very surprising though, since the mouse cursor shouldn't have anything to do with it. I hope.

I can reproduce it, but it's a Scintilla issue (I can reproduce it in SciTE), so make sure you submit a bug report to them here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2439

Nonetheless, you can configure the color & width of the caret in Settings->Editor->Gutter, margins and caret.

Scintilla should have a method to disable blinking too.

This doesn't seem big enough for a bug report (yet). It's probably a small thing. I noticed in the nightly I got that the tools command

explorer.exe ${PROJECT_DIR} doesn't work anymore. It lauches the tool but the window never opens up. and it kind of stalls under I open the folder manually. Also Mandrav added another command, but it's not listed in the window.

Thank you for that. I've been squinting at that skinny caret for 6 months.

lo, as you can see from my poster count, i'm new here. first of all, congratulations for your program, even if i started c++ studying only few months ago, i want to say that this is the one of the best compiler i've ever used, thanks for your work.

now, i got an issue installing this build (it's the first time i install one, so maybe i've made some stupid mistake). i've downloaded zip files and overwrote the old ones in the CodeBlocks directory. when i try to run the program, i got an error that says: "impossible to find ingress point GetStringFromArray of procedure in dynamic linking library codeblocks.dll". is it a known issue? what can i do to fix it?

thanks for the help. see you around :)

did you overwrite RC2 ??

It is best to do a clean and seperate install. You can reuse the Mingw from RC2, or you can install Mingw manually.

See the wiki on the main page : cookbook for the nightlies, it explains on how to do that (ignore the other stuff).

It does. I probably could submit a patch for this pretty soon. :D

there are several issues with Code Completion (is being redesigned : work in progress)

Just to know : this work is really in progress or it is in stand by ?

i've uninstalled and reinstalled codeblocks. now it seems to be ok, thanks ;)
