IDE checkbox problems

[johne53]

Since upgrading my copy of C::B about 3 weeks ago, I've been having constant problems with the various check boxes in C::B's IDE. Any box that is checked doesn't appear checked when I select it (I can only see that it's checked when I select some other check box or a different control).

For example, let's say I load a particular project and examine its Build Options. If the Debug version has "Produce debugging symbols" selected I can see that it's selected (at first) but if I then select that project option, the tick disappears from the check box (making it look like I've unchecked it). At this point, checking and unchecking the relevant box makes no difference (at least not visibly) so I cannot tell (while that option is selected) whether or not it's checked.

Has anyone else had this problem? It's 100% consistent for me.

No-one else has encountered this...?

I have not seen it. Please post SVN number. wxWidgets version and OS info.

Thanks, I'll do that soon. Can you please tell me how to find out my wxWidgets version?

[Edit...] It's okay, I found it:-

SVN 4349
Build Aug 5th 2007 (20:48:23)
wx2.8.4
OpenSuse 10.2
KDE desktop

Incideantally, this was installed from a package manager - not built from source.

If it's any help, quite a lot of the combo boxes also seem to dropping upwards, instead of downwards - although I'm not sure if they were already like that (I think probably not though)

The wxWidgets you are using is 2.8.4 so it should be OK, I have no idea of what to try except to see if there is a newer GTK 2 that you can install. Note, I am a windows person so you might want to wait till a Linux person responds.

Since you installed codeblocks from a binary package, you may not have wxGtk 2.8.4 installed (cb just tells the wx-version it was compiled with so that may be confusing).
Please check that you've installed wxGtk-2.8.4.
You may also want to think about compiling cb by yourself (I've used it on OpenSuse 10.2 successfully).

Thanks guys.... Raph - according to Yast, my version of wxGTK (2.6.3.3-30) is up to date. Clearly that's wrong. Can you let me know where I could obtain the more recent version?

Using Google, I managed to find 2.8.4 packages for Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat and a few others - but not for OpenSuse....

I compiled wxGtk-2.8.4 myself but you should find some external repos containing the binary package here.

AAAARRRGH!! Thanks for all your help with this, raph. It turned out that I had wxWidgets 2.8.4 installed - but wxGTK was only 2.6.3.

I've now upgraded wxGTK which is showing 2.8.4.0-24.1. wxWidgets is showing 2.8.4-11.1 Unfortunately, it hasn't solved the problem..... 

Back to the drawing board...!
