wxComboBox bug on linux (?) (please do this little test)
mandrav:
Everything works fine here too.
Ubuntu64, wx2.6.1 (from repositories).
killerbot:
so far it seems to be related to wx 2.6.2. In the bug report on berlios, feedback has arrived from a user having the problem (with wx 2.6.2), and after upgrading to wx 2.6.3 the problem was gone.
So several of us, who are at wx 2.6.2 are suffering from 'what seems to be' a serious wx bug, all our comboboxes are behaving incorrectly !!!
That means a help of a job, to write workarounds for all those comboboxes.
I am going to provide a least a workaround for the comileroptions, since that's a very important one, and because there are other bugs I have to fix in that area.
TheTuxKeeper:
So the reason of bug #7480 seems to be found, too. :)
Tested for bug #7022 and #7480 on rev2652 and wxGTK 2.6.2 on FC4, and rev2652 and wxGTK 2.6.2 on FC5 and for bug #7022 I have the same as Der Meister described, bug #7480 as described in the bug report.
killerbot:
Today I have tried another workaround for the wxComboBox bug. I have committed it as a first test (revision 2661). (only) For the categorys on the compiler tab of the compiler settings, I have replaced the wxComboBox by a wChoice control.
On windows things keep working, and on my linux (wx 262) it now works ok. Could you linux users who were also suffering from this bug give it a try ?
One strange thing I have is : each time I reenter the choice control every entry I have selected before is now unvisible, it only becomes visible when I (pre)select it with the mouse or up/down keys. I wonder if this is more general, or it is just my display settings (linux suse 10.1 64 bit) ? in the case this is moe general, well then one bad thing get's replaced by another bad thing :-(
PS : If you can think of a reason why it should be a combobox and not a wxChoice, please tell me.

Of course but I wont have access to my linux machine before the weekend, thus you have to be patient ;)
