Strange cursor position with wx3.0.2 (scintilla)
« on: December 20, 2015, 02:58:07 am »
Edit: Posts in this thread were split from: This thread.

The cursor issues are not new however, I have tried to build with 3.0.2 previously, as in months previously, ever so often and the issue has been present each time.  I always assumed that it was attributable to 3.0.2 not being "baked" enough.  However, I guess I should have reported it a long whiles back.  If the issue is in the Code::Blocks source then it has been present for a good while.

If you have any patches I can test apply to any specified SVN build then feel free to post them.  I will gladly recompile away if it helps to stomp out a bug or few.

Edit: I just rebuilt wxWidgets 3.0.2 64-bit without CFG=64 so I did not have to modify that variable in the SVN 10625 project.  Same error as given above.  I am, as stated in the first post, using MinGW-Builds 5.2.0 64 bit and I also have the 32 bit version as well.

Let's try a different tack.  You tell me exactly which compiler to use and either 32 or 64 bit or both and I will build the wxWidgets 3.0.2 versions with that toolchain.  That way we can also rule out MinGW-Builds as the compiler.

What happens on my system, I can compile wxWidgets 3.0.2 64 bit with no errors.  Then I can build codeblocks wx 30 64 also with no errors.  Run it, it loads fine.  However, open a text window the cursor caret does not behave properly.  If you go up or down a line it may leave an old cursor bar graphic there, or up or down, left or right, all the arrow keys: it either leaves a artifact or does not update.  Either graphical garbage or an invisible caret.  No errors are thrown at all that I am aware of.  It just doesn't work like it's supposed to.

I am not a technical expert so I do not know where to begin troubleshooting that.  If you provide a concrete list of steps to try and report the results of then I would gladly do them.
I have 32 bit cb build myself with against wx3.0.2 under Windows XP.
I see some similar issue, see screen shot:

sometimes, I see two cursors in the previous locations, see screen shot:

Here is the steps to reproduce:
When I first put the cursor after the "main()", and I hit the arrow down key. I see the cursor is still there. After that, I hit the arrow down key again, I see the cursor is still there after the "{", and now the cursor is located after the "vector".
I guess it is related to highlight of the "()" or "{}".
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

It works fine on linux when using wx3.0, so it might be windows only issue.

@Morten: Are you able to reproduce the problem?

It looks like it's an issue related to the "indicator" of the scintilla. I have download the latest wscite, but I don't know how to enable the brace indicator in it.

Matching brace highlighting works fine on linux. No visual artefacts observed.

Works fine here, on windows with wx2.8.12 and trunk.

What are the editor options related to highlighting for you?

Yes, on wx3.0.2 it shows the effect. However, we should not seriously try to fix it in trunk. Instead, we should focus and fix the scintilla branch. I am still trying to get it working but so far I didn't have enough time to finish. We lack behind many versions already and there have been massive fundamental changes in the architecture of scintilla. So give it a try, if you like:

No time at the moment. I'm concentrated on fixing all the asserts that come up with wx30.

When debug the scintilla branch with wx 3.02 under windows, I noticed that when an editor opened by the statement:

Code
m_pControl->InsertText(0, enc.GetWxStr());

Code
	case SCI_INSERTTEXT: {
if (lParam == 0)
return 0;
int insertPos = static_cast<int>(wParam);
if (static_cast<int>(wParam) == -1)
insertPos = CurrentPosition();
int newCurrent = CurrentPosition();
char *sz = CharPtrFromSPtr(lParam);
const int lengthInserted = pdoc->InsertString(insertPos, sz, istrlen(sz));
if (newCurrent > insertPos)
newCurrent += lengthInserted;
SetEmptySelection(newCurrent);
return 0;
}
And I see that the null terminated string is needed, but when debugging, I see we pass a string with out the null at the end.
This gives the screen shot:
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

void UTF8FromUTF16(const wchar_t *uptr, unsigned int tlen, char *putf, unsigned int len) {
unsigned int k = 0;
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < tlen && uptr[i];) {
unsigned int uch = uptr[i];

} else if (uch < 0x800) {

putf[k++] = static_cast<char>(0x80 | (uch & 0x3f));
} else if ((uch >= SURROGATE_LEAD_FIRST) &&

// Half a surrogate pair

unsigned int xch = 0x10000 + ((uch & 0x3ff) << 10) + (uptr[i] & 0x3ff);

putf[k++] = static_cast<char>(0x80 | ((xch >> 12) & 0x3f));

putf[k++] = static_cast<char>(0x80 | (uch & 0x3f));
}
i++;
}
if (k < len)
putf[k] = '\0';
}
Now, the last two line, I have k == len, and I see there is NO chances to set the null terminator.

I have 32 bit cb build myself with against wx3.0.2 under Windows XP.
I see some similar issue, see screen shot:

sometimes, I see two cursors in the previous locations, see screen shot:

Here is the steps to reproduce:
When I first put the cursor after the "main()", and I hit the arrow down key. I see the cursor is still there. After that, I hit the arrow down key again, I see the cursor is still there after the "{", and now the cursor is located after the "vector".
I guess it is related to highlight of the "()" or "{}".
The above issue still exists in the scintilla branch(which is scintilla 3.6.2) with wx 3.0.2.
There are two issues:
1, the blinking cursor is not removed when another brace highlight is added(by click on the other brace pair)
2, from the image shot above, it looks like when I hit after the "{", the closing "}" (the end of the main() function body) is not highlighted.
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

If you click from top to bottom as pointed by the screen shot, you get many brace highlight...
See image shot below:

It looks like the old brace highlight does not get clean up.

EDIT: I just tested the SciTE 2.6.2 release, it dose not have such issue. So, it is related to wx 3.0.2's platform support for scintilla.

EDIT2: make the whole editor window refresh(such as minimize the C::B window, and restore it) will totally remove the old high light.

« Reply #19 on: December 25, 2015, 07:33:06 am »
Debugged for a while, I found that, when I click on a brace(if there are some braces already highlighted)
I get to those code:
Code
void Editor::SetBraceHighlight(Position pos0, Position pos1, int matchStyle) {
if ((pos0 != braces[0]) || (pos1 != braces[1]) || (matchStyle != bracesMatchStyle)) {
if ((braces[0] != pos0) || (matchStyle != bracesMatchStyle)) {
CheckForChangeOutsidePaint(Range(braces[0]));
CheckForChangeOutsidePaint(Range(pos0));
braces[0] = pos0;
}
if ((braces[1] != pos1) || (matchStyle != bracesMatchStyle)) {
CheckForChangeOutsidePaint(Range(braces[1]));
CheckForChangeOutsidePaint(Range(pos1));
braces[1] = pos1;
}
bracesMatchStyle = matchStyle;
if (paintState == notPainting) {
Redraw();
}
}
}
This function is called inside the function call "Paint(surfaceWindow, rcPaint);" inside the below function.
Code
void ScintillaWX::DoPaint(wxDC* dc, wxRect rect) {

    paintState = painting;
    AutoSurface surfaceWindow(dc, this);
    if (surfaceWindow) {
        rcPaint = PRectangleFromwxRect(rect);
        PRectangle rcClient = GetClientRectangle();
        paintingAllText = rcPaint.Contains(rcClient);

        ClipChildren(*dc, rcPaint);
        Paint(surfaceWindow, rcPaint);
        surfaceWindow->Release();
    }

    if (paintState == paintAbandoned) {
        // Painting area was insufficient to cover new styling or brace
        // highlight positions.  So trigger a new paint event that will
        // repaint the whole window.
        sci->Refresh(false);

#if defined(__WXOSX__)
        // On Mac we also need to finish the current paint to make sure that
        // everything is on the screen that needs to be there between now and
        // when the next paint event arrives.
        FullPaintDC(dc);
#endif
    }
    paintState = notPainting;
}

Then, we will get into the condition that satisfy this condition "if (!PaintContains(rcRange))", so that "paintAbandonedByStyling = true;" is reached.
Code
void Editor::CheckForChangeOutsidePaint(Range r) {
if (paintState == painting && !paintingAllText) {
//Platform::DebugPrintf("Checking range in paint %d-%d\n", r.start, r.end);
if (!r.Valid())
return;

PRectangle rcRange = RectangleFromRange(r, 0);
PRectangle rcText = GetTextRectangle();
if (rcRange.top < rcText.top) {
rcRange.top = rcText.top;
}
if (rcRange.bottom > rcText.bottom) {
rcRange.bottom = rcText.bottom;
}

if (!PaintContains(rcRange)) {
AbandonPaint();
paintAbandonedByStyling = true;
}
}
}
Back to the function "void ScintillaWX::DoPaint(wxDC* dc, wxRect rect)", you will see the Refresh() call is reached.
Code
    if (paintState == paintAbandoned) {
        // Painting area was insufficient to cover new styling or brace
        // highlight positions.  So trigger a new paint event that will
        // repaint the whole window.
        sci->Refresh(false);
Now, you get a repaint:

Code
void wxScintilla::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent& WXUNUSED(evt))
{
#ifdef __WXGTK__
    wxBufferedPaintDC dc(this);
#else
    wxPaintDC dc(this);
#endif
    m_swx->DoPaint(&dc, GetUpdateRegion().GetBox());
}

But here comes the bug!
I see that "GetUpdateRegion().GetBox()" only gives the area around the current line. This not cover the old brace highlight, so that the old brace highlight is not removed. Also, if you click on the "{", while the associated "}" is on the other line(which means the "}" is not in the area of the "GetUpdateRegion().GetBox()"), so the "}" is not highlighted.

What's wrong with the "GetUpdateRegion().GetBox()", It should at least be a rectangle area which covers the current braces and the old braces.


If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.

Re: Strange cursor position with wx3.0.2 (scintilla)
« Reply #20 on: December 26, 2015, 07:11:36 am »
I just tested the buildin stc control inside the wx 3.0.2. It does not show such issue.
Here are the steps:
1, build the sample/stc project. (I use Tim's wx c::b project, see: stahta01/cb_projects_for_wxWidgets · GitHub, also, you can build the stc project with traditional makefile)

2, make some changes to edit.cpp:
Code
void Edit::OnUpdate(wxStyledTextEvent &WXUNUSED(event))
{
    int min = GetCurrentPos ();
    int max = BraceMatch (min);
    if (max > (min+1)) {
        BraceHighlight (min, max);
    }else{
        BraceBadLight (min);
    }
}
And add one prototype:
Code
    void OnUpdate  (wxStyledTextEvent &event);
Also, one entry to the message map:
Code
    EVT_STC_UPDATEUI(wxID_ANY,         Edit::OnUpdate)

3, Here is the test code:
Code
void main(hhhh)

{

}


{

}

EDIT:
wx 3.0.2's buildin scintilla version is 3.21, which is quite old.
Also, the above brace high light only works you put the cursor before the beginning brace.

OK, I found this issue is really strange, I just test the wxScintilla in our C::B's svn repo. We have a cctest project, which use this wxScintilla. Here is the patch to enable the brace highlight feature in cctest's editor:

While, the result is: It works just fine!
So, here comes the question: maybe the issue is NOT inside the wxScintilla, maybe our C::B core(SDK) has some code which destroy the feature.
If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.

Re: Strange cursor position with wx3.0.2 (scintilla)

OK, I did some test. I see that if I comment the line:
Code
NotifyPlugins(cbEVT_EDITOR_UPDATE_UI);
inside the function: void cbEditor::OnEditorUpdateUI(wxScintillaEvent& event), then the brace highlight works just fine in C::B.

So, what is the client of this cbEVT_EDITOR_UPDATE_UI? In my tests, I have disable all the plugins, so it looks like the only client which use cbEVT_EDITOR_UPDATE_UI is inside the src target, which locates below:
Code
void MainFrame::OnEditorUpdateUI(CodeBlocksEvent& event)
{
    if (Manager::IsAppShuttingDown())
    {
        event.Skip();
        return;
    }

    if (Manager::Get()->GetEditorManager() && event.GetEditor() == Manager::Get()->GetEditorManager()->GetActiveEditor())
        DoUpdateStatusBar();

    event.Skip();
}
Does DoUpdateStatusBar cause the issue?

EDIT: I can confirm that DoUpdateStatusBar does cause this issue. If I comment out the line:
Code
DoUpdateStatusBar();
, I see brace high light works fine.

If I comment out the two lines:
Code
        msg.Printf(_("Line %d, Column %d"), ed->GetControl()->GetCurrentLine() + 1, ed->GetControl()->GetColumn(pos) + 1);
        SetStatusText(msg, panel++);
From the function: void MainFrame::DoUpdateStatusBar(), then the brace high light works fine!

I just did more test:
1, I try to minimize the issue, so I add such code in our cctest w30 project.
Here is the modified function:
Code
void CCTestFrame::OnUpdate(wxScintillaEvent &WXUNUSED(event))
{
    int min = m_Control->GetCurrentPos ();
    int max = m_Control->BraceMatch (min);
    if (max > (min+1)) {
        m_Control->BraceHighlight (min, max);
        int pos = m_Control->GetCurrentLine();
        wxString msg;
        msg.Printf(_("Line %d, Column %d"), m_Control->GetCurrentLine() + 1, m_Control->GetColumn(pos) + 1);
        SetStatusText(msg, 0);
    }else{
        m_Control->BraceBadLight (min);
    }
}
You see here, I have both set the BraceHighlight and the Status Bar.
Now, the issue happens.


2, I did a quite similar test on the wx 3.0.2's build in stc sample:
Add a status bar in the frame's constructor(a member variable wxStatusBar* m_StatuBar; is need also)
Code
    m_StatuBar = new wxStatusBar(this, wxID_ANY, 0, _T("wxID_ANY"));
    int __wxStatusBarWidths_1[1] = { -10 };
    int __wxStatusBarStyles_1[1] = { wxSB_NORMAL };
    m_StatuBar->SetFieldsCount(1,__wxStatusBarWidths_1);
    m_StatuBar->SetStatusStyles(1,__wxStatusBarStyles_1);
    SetStatusBar(m_StatuBar);
Then, bind the event to the frame, not the Edit control.
Code
void AppFrame::OnUpdate(wxStyledTextEvent &WXUNUSED(event))
{
    int min = m_edit->GetCurrentPos ();
    int max = m_edit->BraceMatch (min);
    if (max > (min+1)) {
        m_edit->BraceHighlight (min, max);
        int pos = m_edit->GetCurrentLine();
        wxString msg;
        msg.Printf(_("Line %d, Column %d"), m_edit->GetCurrentLine() + 1, m_edit->GetColumn(pos) + 1);
        SetStatusText(msg, 0);

    }else{
        m_edit->BraceBadLight (min);
    }
}
The macro is like below:
Code
    // handle the update event
    EVT_STC_UPDATEUI(wxID_ANY,         AppFrame::OnUpdate)

Note, that you need to comment out the EVT_STC_UPDATEUI macro inside the edit.cpp.
The result is: It works OK without the issue.
EDIT: I see that this issue also happens!!

I really don't know why SetStatusText() call cause such issue. Is it caused by the local variable msg?
EDIT: Now, I see all the above cases will cause the issue!

The bug also happens inside the wx trunk's stc control, I reported a detailed message here in wx-user maillist wxStyledTextCtrl: SetStatusText() function call destroys the brace highlight feature under Windows - Google Groups, so that they can help.  :)

Right bleepin' on.  ;)  I await it being pushed to SVN and then I will build wxWidgets 3.0.2 and C::B wx30_64.  Finally, 64-bit.  That's all I want - is it too much to ask!? ;)

There are many more problems in wx3.0 builds that needs to be fixed.
At the moment it is best to stick to the wx2.8 builds.

wx3.0 builds are for people that are not afraid of crashes/asserts/bugs and they're willing to report them.

Ah, thanks oBFusCATed, I don't actually need a 64-bit build of C::B, it's more of a vanity thing.  Under Linux a wx 2.8.12 64-bit build is trivial, but under Windows where I am one is not.

@ollydbg:
I don't like the fix. We have to know the reason for this change in behaviour.
Also the check should be against 3.0 and not 2.9.5. wx2.9.x is not supported in any way, only wx3.x, thus the code should not be misleading.

I don't know the reason, I have debugged this bug for several days, until I asked in the wx-user maillist.
Eran just told me this is an workaround, this also get better performance as he said. see his wx-user maillist(in my previous posts)

I see the CallAfter's document is said this function is from 2.9.5, so I changed my first idea which is 3.0.0 to 2.9.5.  :)

I need more comments about those patches, especially Morten, because he is the maintainer of that scintilla branch. You can apply those patches locally in your computer, and test those changes too.

I tested the patch.  Built wxWidgets 3.0.2 64-bit, applied your patch to SVN 10630, compiled C::B wx30_64.  Resulting build: opened main.cpp from the C::B project, scrolled around, removed and added text, over the course of five minutes testing everything worked.  Compiler used was TDM-GCC 5.1.0 64-bit.

Ok, I did a sanity test.  I know that using MinGW-Builds GCC 5.2.0 / posix threads / seh exceptions / Revision 1 / 64-bit I had the cursor errors.  So, I recompiled wxWidgets 3.0.2 and Code::Blocks SVN 10630 with the patch with that toolchain just to make sure the issue was also fixed using that.  It is.  The patch corrects the errors.

If anyone would like to try the binaries I built in a different environment, their machine, you can find them: Here.
