Incremental Search text box selects itself

<< < (2/2)

Miguel Gimenez:
If you can compile C::B you can try changing this code (in IncrementalSearch.cpp)


--- Code: ---#ifdef __WXMAC__
    // on macOS only set focus if we really lost it, to avoid native select all,
    // or it will reset the text selection
    if (!m_pTextCtrl->HasFocus())
        m_pTextCtrl->SetFocus();
#else
    m_pTextCtrl->SetFocus();
#endif

--- End code ---

to just


--- Code: ---    // only set focus if we really lost it, to avoid native select all
    // or it will reset the text selection
    if (!m_pTextCtrl->HasFocus())
        m_pTextCtrl->SetFocus();

--- End code ---

Miguel Gimenez:
Fixed on Ubuntu, should work also on Debian (commit 13764).

I would like to try to compile it from source, but I am a bit lost in your sourceforge page (and not familiar with SVN). Where could I get up to date source archive ready for compile ?

If you are not familiar with SVN, you can try git.
There are some git mirrors, see here:

Thanks for your help and reply. Anyway I managed to get the nightly builds package from xaviou debian repositories, and I can confirm incremental search now behave properly.

Now, this would be cool that Debian mainteners updates their official packages...
