I am using C::B 25.03 from Kubuntu 26.04 (Wayland) repos. The first issue I had was the startup hanging (https://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,26131.0.html) which I temporarily fixed by renaming the wxSmith related zip's in "/usr/share/codeblocks". Since I have built Gdk-Pixbuf (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixbuf) to version 2.42.12 and stored the libraries in "~/.local/lib" and used LD_LIBRARY_PATH to enable C::B to find those libraries. Now C::B starts as expected and there are no problems / errors when loading a wxSmith resources in the IDE, so I assume that wxSmith is (technically) working as it should. The issue is that whenever I load a resource, the wxFrame is displayed correctly for a brief moment whereafter the entire wxSmith area in the IDE goes black and stays like that.
Does anyone know a fix for this issue?
I have been looking at this build guide (https://www.codeblocks.org/docs/main_codeblocks_en3.html#x3-2060006) for building the entire C::B IDE from sources, but that looks.. Eherm.. Less palatable...... ;-)
