Editor keystrokes get eaten when the mouse is over the tabs
« on: September 09, 2011, 09:10:04 pm »
Hi guys. I had posted this before, but the thread is several months old.

Whenever the mouse goes to the tabs zone in the editor, my keystrokes get eaten. It's a very, VERY annoying bug! Is this fixed yet?

Just in case, I just reported this to berlios: https://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=18348&group_id=5358

Thanks!

This should not happen, if you uncheck "Settings -> Environmanet -> Enable scrolling with mousewheel" (if revision is >= 7343).
You might also need to turn off tab-tooltips, because they (still) block keystrokes (wxWidgets design).

Both issues are on my todo-list, but not easy to solve, and my time is limited at the moment.

Have you tried my suggestion to use wxWANT_CHARS in the tooltips constructor (need to change the wxWidget's code)?

I have revision 7050. I really hope it's fixed in that revision you mention, because in my current version, it still happens.  As I can no longer compile C::B, do you know of a nightly without known issues (i.e. crashes)?

Why your compilation fails?
Trunk should compile fine on all major platforms (windows and linux).

With saying "I can't compile", I meant that I didn't have the time to develop and compile, and I had deleted the C::B sources. But I can compile now, I'm back in development :D
