Title: numpad del doesn't work in Linux...
Post by: rickg22 on March 23, 2008, 03:35:33 am
in my current install, i can't use the numpad Del key to delete a character. Whenever I press it, a "Ɓ" character shows up. Any idea of why it would happen? Other wxGTK apps don't do that, only CB. Please help :(

I found a fix...
in ScintillaWX.cpp:
Code
case WXK_DELETE: key = SCK_DELETE; break;
Prepend the following line:
Code
case WXK_NUMPAD_DELETE:
And it works now :)

This was fixed 1.5 years ago in wxWidgets http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWidgets/branches/WX_2_8_BRANCH/contrib/src/stc/ScintillaWX.cpp?r1=40721&r2=41374 (http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWidgets/branches/WX_2_8_BRANCH/contrib/src/stc/ScintillaWX.cpp?r1=40721&r2=41374)

I think we should really sort out, what version we should be using of scintilla and wxScintilla. Kind of stupid we are fixing bugs that are fixed ages ago :-(
@Yiannis : what do you think ? We go for a massive update of these components ?

I think that independently of what wxWhatever container we use for Scintilla, we should always use the latest version of scintilla and patch it according to our needs (it'd be better if we used additional files for our new functions so future versions don't have to be repatched).
