Title: Splash screen problem
Post by: gd_on on April 28, 2018, 04:40:57 pm

Due to a recent C::B patch (but I don't remember which one), I observe a problem with splash screen : it is always on the foreground so it can masks other windows. Example, if I delete my defaut.conf then restart C::B, the window to choose a defaut compiler is partially masqued. You need to move it, to make your compiler choice.

Can you clarify which commit you think it broke it?
Have you tried to click on the splash screen it should go away?

May be svn 11318, but that's not sure. Just a supposition.

It does not ! (at least on the example shown before)

 I tried with C::B generated in 32 or 64 bits, wxwidgets 2.8.12 or 3.0.3 : same problem. I'm on Windows 7.

Are you using Windows 10; I ask because I assumed the Windows 10 monthly update caused the problem.

Edit: Add my Win 10 Version info
Windows 10 Pro (32 bit)
Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.371)

Can you try to revert this commit to see if this is causing the problem?
I'm running linux, so I cannot easily tests this. :(

I tried to revert to svn 11317. It's OK, no such splash screen masking problem.
Then to svn 11318 : the problem appears.

As told before, I'm on Windows 7 64 bits.
My signature tells Win10, but it's not the case on this specific PC (I had to revert because of compatibility problems with win10 build 1703 !). :-[

Ok i can reproduce it and this is annoying because the splashscreen can not be minimized. It hides all programs not only the codeblocks frame...
Easy and fast fix:
remove the wxSTAY_ON_TOP  flag in src/splashscreen.cpp:25

Code

cbSplashScreen::cbSplashScreen(const wxBitmap& bitmap)
  : wxSplashScreen(bitmap, wxSPLASH_CENTRE_ON_SCREEN | wxSPLASH_NO_TIMEOUT,
                   0, nullptr, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize,
-                  wxBORDER_NONE | wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR | wxFRAME_SHAPED | wxSTAY_ON_TOP  )
+                  wxBORDER_NONE | wxFRAME_NO_TASKBAR | wxFRAME_SHAPED)
{
}

or add a timeout...

Please create a ticket with the patch, as this thread will be history soon.

Edit: ticket not needed, corrected in SVN three hours ago
