Title: C::B locking up on GNU/Linux
Post by: Eden on February 23, 2007, 04:51:39 pm

I'm using the latest (3635) SVN build of Code::Blocks on 64bit Gentoo and for some reason it keeps locking up on me. Specifically if I do things like quickly move between 2 or more open tabs which will always result in it eventually locking up and forcing me to restart the x server.

I've only recently noticed the problem in the last 10 or so revisions.

Any insight to what the problem may be would be helpfully as Code::Blocks is pretty much unusable at the moment.

Can someone at least give me an idea of how I can narrow down what the problem might be?

It's a GTK bug. Some users have a temporary fix for it.

This is a wxWidgets to GTK communications bug in drag&drop.
Not much CodeBlocks can do about it except turn off drag&drop on linux.

How can I disable drag&drop in GNOME? Please help me...  :(

You would compile wxWidgets yourself and set the define in setup.h to 0

Code

#define wxUSE_DRAG_AND_DROP 1

This might cause other side effects.

If its just wxFlatNotebook thats the problem, you could compile it with the wxFNB_NODRAG flag.
