Title: cursor is block
Post by: thomas18 on May 25, 2007, 07:53:39 pm

Hi,

In all release of Code::Blocks, when I  click in a some orders my mouse,my cursor blocks itself. I can't move them. I must exiting and restart Code:Blocks. I don't know How I block the cursor. I'm not alone with this troubleshooting.

If you don't understand exactly my problem, I explain him http://www.developpez.net/forums/showthread.php?p=2110604&posted=1#post2110604 (http://www.developpez.net/forums/showthread.php?p=2110604&posted=1#post2110604) if you understand french.

Sorry but I don't understand your problem, and I don't know French either.

BTW, are you using Code::Blocks on Linux, Windows or Mac?

In the French forum no additional details were given. What I could understand from machine translation is that the mouse cursor gets blocked in some cases.

It would be better if you explain the problem with your system configuration details.

Maybe you hit the "insert" key?

hi,

When I type a succession of keys and click of mouse, my cursor is blocked, it can still move, but the cursor takes a particular form, not the traditional pointer, and I can nothing any more select, to click. My only solution is to leave codeblocks with the Alt+F4 order. I can only use the keyboard. the mouse is then unusable for all the applications.
I use gnu/linux; Ubnuntu 7.04 more exactly. I have this problem since one year roughly! I often updated codeblocks that I downloaded in the forum. Currently I use the version svn 3989.
The particular cursor look lilke that: (http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/5233/cursoruu7.png)

I hope that this time you will be able to understand my problem!  :)
I hope too that this time my English is more comprehensible than the last time.  :D

Ah, now I know what you're talking about. That's a well known problem on Linux and has been discussed many times in the forums. Unfortunately it's a bug in wxWidgets, but some people say it has been fixed in wx 2.8.x, but I haven't tried though.

Sorry for the bad and uncertain news.

Please specify your wx-runtime version. As Ceniza told this is a wxGTK bug which has been fixed recently. I don't remember the exact version. But you need to upgrade your wx runtime package.

It is not a so bad news! Now I know that this bug is known. It is already a good thing. Then, my version of WxWidget is wx2.6.3
I will install a new version, it will be seen well if this bug is always there or not.
