Title: Check Boxes in properties not displaying check, Version 16.01 on Ubuntu 16.04
Post by: Aaron on March 18, 2017, 11:17:51 pm
Is anyone else having this minor issue?

The check box squares in the properties pane does not display the actual check mark, but they do enable and disable their features.
In Ver 16.01 under Windows they operate as expected.

A bit annoying for visually impaired users I'm helping.

Is this a known issue or anomaly?

There seems to be a desktop under Ubuntu that causes a lot of GUI related bugs. I think it was called Unity or something like that.
No idea if this is one of the bugs.

I suggest posting the desktop info on your system.

You're talking about Is member and default pos and similar, aren't you?

Yes
Is Member, Default Position, Default Size, Enabled, etc.

These all display the check mark inside the square in Windows PC Code Blocks installs.

Code
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Release:        16.04
Codename:       xenial

I checked this on Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS 64-bit and Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS 64-bit (VirtualBox VMs), with a simple test and a more complex app and check marks were displayed as expected, e.g. on Panel1 in the wxSmith heirarchy.

CB: Release 16.01 rev 10760 (2016-02-01 01:39:02) gcc 5.3.1 Linux/unicode - 64 bit

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS"

Observations:

There are changes in gtk versions between Ubuntu LTS versions:

Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS:
libgtk2.0-0:
  Installed: 2.24.23-0ubuntu1.4
libgtk-3-0:
  Installed: 3.10.8-0ubuntu1.6

Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS:
libgtk2.0-0:
  Installed: 2.24.30-1ubuntu1
libgtk-3-0:
  Installed: 3.18.9-1ubuntu3.2

I don't see any mention of whether the problem was seen on a 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu / CB - it might have a bearing.

Can you (backup and ) delete ~/.config/codeblocks then run Code::Blocks and check the checkmarks?

Interesting - are they the same hardware?
And are they fully updated ubuntus? Same ubuntu version?
Can you look in the Help -> About dialog and check if the version strings there match?

Can you tell me what wx version is used?

Hardware
1. The PC with missing check marks is a Dell Optiplex 780, integrated video adapter.  Everything in this PC works perfect otherwise.
2. One PC that displayed the check marks, is a (very old)Dell Dimension 9150, but it had other weird video issues in Ubuntu.  Has been parted out.
3. Last PC displays check marks, is a Dell Precision 390.

Ubuntu all were fully updated 16.04 LTS

The Ubuntu version under Settings, Details is: 16.04 LTS

Can you tell me what wx version is used?
wxW 3.02 in the check mark problem pc.
In the other pcs wxW was version 3.0 installed using terminal get & install.

I'm somewhat new to Ubuntu (Linux) so please excuse my stumbling around...

I could uninstall the present wxW 3.02, and install 3.0 via terminal, as the other two PCs were setup, if that is a possible cause.

Based queries here, I'm feeling wxWidgets has some effect on C::B features like properties.  Could it?

** Are other users' C::B in Ubuntu displaying the vertical dotted lines in the element tree of Resources?  **
(I've only seen the lines in Windows version)
