Strange behavior of C::B over xming.

<< < (3/3)

BlueHazzard:
Are you able to build codeblocks, and test patches?
I have not the possibility to set up a environment like yours, and it is difficult/impossible  to fix this by guessing...

shredluc:
Yes, absolutely, i am able and willing to build and test patches.

In fact i thought that maybe the pre-built version has some issue so i actually built a version from source and that also had this behavior.

I know my setup is a completely borderline use case, but i am totally up for helping make codeblocks better.

EDIT:
 I just wanted to clarify, un-checking the "parse-documentation" under Settings->Editor->Code completion->Documentation (tab) -> Parse Documentation (checkbox)  did not change the behavior.

What did change the behavior was this:
Settings->Editor->General settings->Documentation popup (checkbox in code completion block) 

Once that is not checked then obviously the documentation popup does not happen and so the code completion list stays put.

BlueHazzard:
After a quick search in the code completion code i think you have problems with the class UnfocusablePopupWindow. There is a conditional compiling in there. Can you check what class  you use?
The related file is src\sdk\ccmanager.h:149
Can you check if the behavior is different if you swap the conditional compiling: Use wxFrame if wxPopupWindow is used.

shredluc:
so there was no ccmanager.h in src\sdk\, but there was a .cpp file which i take is what you meant.  Taking what you wrote about the conditional compiling literally i commented out the sections that would be used if wxUSE_POPUPWIN was defined:


--- Code: ---// imported with small changes from PlatWX.cpp
class UnfocusablePopupWindow :
//#if wxUSE_POPUPWIN
//    public wxPopupWindow
//#else
     public wxFrame
//#endif // wxUSE_POPUPWIN
{
public:
//#if wxUSE_POPUPWIN
//    typedef wxPopupWindow BaseClass;

  //  UnfocusablePopupWindow(wxWindow* parent, int style = wxBORDER_NONE) :
    //    wxPopupWindow(parent, style)
//#else
    typedef wxFrame BaseClass;

    UnfocusablePopupWindow(wxWindow* parent, int style = 0) :
        wxFrame(parent, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize,
                style | wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR | wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT | wxNO_BORDER | wxFRAME_SHAPED
#ifdef __WXMAC__
                | wxPOPUP_WINDOW
#endif // __WXMAC__
                )
//#endif // wxUSE_POPUPWIN


--- End code ---

Then i ran make, it compiled just fine.  Ran codeblocks and this time the popup windows appear for a split second and then completely disappear.  They do not get pushed to the background.

As an aside if i disable the Documentation popup at Settings->Editor..->General settings->Documentation popup
the single popup window stays on top just fine in either compiled version (with and without the edit i did)

If i did not do what you wanted me to do ill try again.
