[SOLVED]Problem with CB GUI
« on: April 20, 2017, 01:19:43 am »
Hello,
i have this problem that after a short time (few minutes) of starting CB its GUI goes crazy. CB doesnt crash, but is then unusable because the GUI doesnt get updated anymore. At least some parts like the line where the open file names are listed.

In my example i fiddled around a bit and i was able to reproduce this issue consistently by
1. close all files of project
2. restart CB, load the last project (no files yet opened)
3. simply open a header file first

The effect can be seen in the pic below: No file name at the top of open file, gui not responding properly to any resizing (see "Log & others" window, tried to resize it)
I can still close CB, save all files and restart.

Using ubuntu 17.04 fresh install and XFCE Desktop


 


many greetings,
SRM

Have you tried to disable the Symbol browser in Editor -> Code completion?

Can't find "symbol browser" but i disabled everything in Code Completion, see picture.
Also i tried to disable some plugins as you can see. Still the same result.
I tested around a bit more and i can say now that everything below the menu bar doesnt get any redrawing. So, the menu is normally usable, but nothing else.
This happens in this case after i open any .h header file.

What is the video driver you're using?
What video card do you have?
Are you using xorg, wayland or mir?

Can you try to install the auidemo and see if it exhibits the same problem? Auidemo is part of wxgtk's examples, but I don't know if it is available as a package or it should be compiled manually.

Also do you have any compositor enabled?

I will look into the AUI demo now.

well i played around for quite a while now with the AUI Demo from package wx3.0-examples and it behaves normally but the console i started it from shows warnings everytime i add a new control from View menu. Its always the same warning:
Code
(auidemo:11699): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_parent: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
I think this might be related because when i open a .h file i essentialy create a control(i think) in the right "content pane" and this is when CB starts to go crazy.

i just discovered, when i start CB from console by "codeblocks", and open a project, everytime i click any file from the "management pane" on the left, the console shows a similar message as in AUI Demo. The message is a bit different for each file i try to open.

Code

after further looking into the problem i found Filezilla also has this problem, which itself is, according to their devs, a bug in ubuntu (they said that 3 years ago and its not fixed yet)
look here
there is a workaround and this fixes the problem for me.
Quote
gsettings set com.canonical.desktop.interface scrollbar-mode normal
I am happy to be able to use CB now :)

thanks

I guess it is a good idea to report this to the ubuntu devs, so they can fix it. If this is indeed something they've caused or report to the party responsible with details what to do.

Same problem on Debian 9 / xfce4 / codeblocks 16.01. It worked on Debian 8 before.

A key "scrollbar-mode" mentioned in the workaround does not exist under org.gnome.desktop.interface or org.xfce. .... so problem persists for me.

What are the xfce4, gtk, wxgtk versions you're using? Is wxgtk built for gtk2 or gtk3?
