I've been holding this back for a while, probably for about 3-4 months actually.
I never reported this before because I thought it might just be me (still might I guess), but I've had this problem since Ubuntu Dapper and still have it in Feisty beta. I always install new version on a freshly formatted disk, never upgrade. The problem still happens with wxWidgets 2.8.1 from the Ubuntu Feisty repos.
What happens is that before the main window is completely rendered, codeblocks hangs.
The problem always happens when the compiler plugin is loaded, and never happens when it is not loaded.
I've attached a screenshot, and circled an area. That area continuously flickers, as if it is stuck in a permanent loop or something.
The terminal "spits out" this when it starts to render the main windows:
(codeblocks:14184): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_window_realize_icon: assertion `info->icon_pixmap == NULL' failed
This error message don't happen when the compiler plugin isn't loaded.
It doesn't slow down the computer or anything, only codeblocks is unresponsive.
I can't give you a core file since it doesn't actually crash. I'd love to debug more for you, but I have no idea how to use gdb.
Thanks
