Multiple monitors and dialog boxes
oBFusCATed:
If you can reproduce this with 16.01 then we can try to debug it.
Until then I can only say that it-works-for-me (I'm using cb all day long in a two monitor setup, without issues (they are fixed when I found them)).
Red Squirrel:
Yeah I think my issue is that I'm not getting the up to date version.
I'm willing to uninstall and try installing from source, anyone got a good reliable source (that is not sourceforge) for the source? I'll have to figure out how to associate it with .cpp and .h files after. I imagine there is some kind of flag for that or something.
oBFusCATed:
Have you tried this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~damien-moore/+archive/ubuntu/codeblocks-stable
I suppose mint is still ubuntu based, right?
p.s. Why do you think sf.net is not safe for source code? I've not heard them modifying source packages or even repos, only installer base packages and this was in the past and it was opt-in.
Red Squirrel:
Mint seems to do stuff differently even though it's Ubuntu based so don't like using stuff made for Ubuntu. Could be I'm doing it wrong but any time I try to use 3rd party repos all hell breaks loose.
SF has been known to tamper with people's stuff, so I don't trust it. As far as I know it's only binary installers but still, nothing stops them from modifying source code too such as adding a small blurb to download and run spyware or something. I suppose I could comb the entire source code for anything suspicious but that's easier said than done. :P
I'm looking at going back to a single monitor setup, and using two Raspberry Pis for the side monitors, and I'll use Synergy so mouse/keyboard works across. That will solve the issue with not only Codeblocks but any other program that does not handle multi monitor right. Even Linux itself has trouble with it, for example when I click on the sound icon the actual menu shows up on other monitor. It's incredible in this day and age multi monitor is still flaky like that. The OS should handle it and it should not be up to the application IMO.

In fact we have history and with our git clones we have the original history in many different places.
So if they try to re-write the svn history we'll spot this pretty easily.
Being too paranoid is counter productive...
