Title: Bug when Changing Font Size on Mac OS Version
Post by: fairysubs on November 03, 2009, 06:09:56 pm

Hi,
I got a problem when using Code Blocks with Mac OS.
I'm using Snow Leopard, and when I try to change the font size in : Settings/Editor/General Settings I cannot see the Mac OS font size window.
When I click on the choose button, the font window appears during only 1 sec. an then, disappear.
Does anybody have any idea to fix that ?

Thanks in advance ;)

I installed the binary 8.02-p2 version linked on codeblocks.org and downloaded from BerliOS.

Its a wxWidgets bug with Snow Leopard

This is a bug in the wxWidgets version used. It needs to be patched for Snow Leopard.

Quote from: http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Development:_wxMac#Building_under_10.6_Snow_Leopard

Please note that there is a bug in wxMac 2.8.10 in wxFontDialog, which manifests itself on Mac OS X 10.6 by the dialog disappearing as soon as it is shown

Note that wxWidgets is bundled with CodeBlocks.app. Should be patched in next "nightly".

Alternatively one could do a "p3", as only wxWidgets changed in p1 and p2...

Up,
thanks but, there is still no new version to solve this problem :(
You spoke about a " nightly " patch, where could I find that ?

I meant the "nightly" builds of Code::Blocks, at BerliOS (http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5358)
Just that there hasn't been any such Mac builds recently...

So until then it'll have to be "don't change font size" or
"don't run Snow Leopard" or "rebuild/replace wxWidgets" ?
