strange and serious bug on kubuntu 6.06

[hollingsworthd]

I'm using:
Code::Blocks Rev 3816
Kubuntu 6.06
KDE 3.5.2
Linux 2.6.15-28-686
Intel Core 2 Duo

I've been running into a serious bug for a few weeks now.  I can't reproduce it and have no idea if it is due to Code::Blocks or linux or some other software.

The bug is when I'm using the CB built-in text editor on my C++ project and suddenly my cursor turns into the icon with an outlined plus sign.  like this-->  +|
Once my cursor shows that icon: (1) I cannot click anything, (2) I cannot use any KDE or Code::Blocks keyboard shortcuts, (3) I cannot type anything, (4) I can _only_ use a keyboard shortcut to get a linux command prompt and then issue "shutdown -h now" or CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart... (I can't even restart KDE after I'm in the command prompt)

If anyone has experienced this, I'd like to hear from you.  Also, if a CB dev wants me to report this to the bug system, I'll be happy to, but I really have no idea what is going on and can't reproduce it.

Thanks,

I should add that I experience the bug at seemingly random times and about once every few hours while using the IDE

That must be the evil and known drag & drop bug some of us have experienced.

IIRC killing the codeblocks process "solves" the problem and, if I read correctly, disabling drag & drop somewhere (was it in wxFlatNotebook?) helps (it's not an option, you need to edit the sources and re-compile).

Check this.

You don't need to report this bug. As Ceniza said, this seems to be the evil wxGTK related bug. Already mandrav have closed one such report as it can't be resolved with wxGTK 2.6.
