Title: margin width modifies tab width in settings
Post by: jarro_2783 on September 24, 2007, 03:48:20 pm

I tried to make my tab width 3, and the margin width got set to 48. So I set the margin width to 5 and the tab width went back to 4.

This only happens in my fedora 7 64 bit machine, it works fine on my 32 bit computer. This is using the latest svn code (revision 4486).
Anyone else getting this?

What wxWidgets version?
I am a Windows person so can not help you, but this sounds like a possible wxWidgets issue.

I think that 2.8.4 is the preferred wxWidgets version at this time. 2.8.3 and 2.8.5 both have issues.

wx widgets is version 2.8.5.

My logic was that the two things are completely unrelated (or so I would think) so maybe changing one was messing with some memory or something and changing the other, and also in a way the only appears in 64 bit.

Seems logical to me, but a Linux person had the width of the Line Numbering change with upgrading to a newer wxWidgets, I think it was 2.8.5. But, he was able to change settings in Code::Blocks to fix it.

Are you running 2.8.5 on the 32-bit system that does not have the problem?

I'm running 2.8.4 on the 32 bit one. Maybe I should upgrade that and see what happens.

This is one of the bugs that crippled wx-2.8.5 release. Please refer the following link for the bug report and the fix.

My suggestion would be to stick to wx-2.8.4 and upgrade to wx-2.8.6 when it will be released.

thanks. I'm glad you knew that, I'd never be able to work out that that particular bug in wx was the cause of the problem.
