Cannot fix watch window under the project tree

[smartes]

I would like to have watches window under the project tree . However, it looks like separate window it doesnt become blue when I put it at the place, it goes down under the C::B window when I work with a code. Was it changed or any other issue? I use Ubuntu 21 with wayland if it may some point.

Can you please supply the info displayed as per the following process:
1. In C::B select the "Help" menu item
2. Select the "About" sub menu
3. In the about dialog select the "Information" tab
4. Copy the info displayed
5. Paste it as a response on this thread.

Can you also include what version of Ubuntu 21 you have installed.

I have C::B installed on XUbuntu 20.04 and it is working okay. Looks like you are using your own local build from the C::B version & data and wxWidget version. I would suggest installing the latest nightly (svn-r12535) and see if it works for you or not.

My installed version info is:

As you can see my version is even 12536.

I found how to solve the issue. I add to ~/.config/codeblocks/default.conf the following:
name=WatchesPane;caption=Watches;state=2099196;dir=4;layer=1;row=0;pos=1;prop=100000;bestw=150;besth=100;minw=50;minh=50;maxw=-1;maxh=-1;floatx=200;floaty=150;floatw=100;floath=150
to corresponding layouts. And now it works. However, if I wish to resize watches window with mouse i got:

ASSERT INFO:
../src/common/wincmn.cpp(3345): assert "!wxMouseCapture::IsInCaptureStack(this)" failed in CaptureMouse(): Recapturing the mouse in the same window?

Go back to the latest nightly and try it. If it works then it has something to do with your build or environment.

I am NOT using the same version as you as my local build has a number of patches in it and is build against a different version of wxWidget.
