Test program showing bug
The test program crashes on my setup. I have a hunch that it migth be due to inclusions of international characters in my name - my /etc/passwd line is: kyrre:x:500:500:Kyrre Ness Sjøbæk:/home/kyrre:/bin/bash And when using a version of scorch with a staticaly compiled wxGTK, it fails to display my name in the "options" dialog. Thanks for the report -- I'll look into it. Sounds like it's likely to be an upstream problem, yeah? *** Bug 196511 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Yeah this most likely is an upstream problem, that doesnot mean however that we should immediatly delegate it to upstream. I think we should be able to fix this ourselves with some C++ knowledge. It would be a good idea to file this upstream, maybe its already fixed or they can fix it within 2 minutes :) I'm really busy and won't have time to look at this until later this week. If someone else has a pointer to something upstream or a fix of some sort, that'd be great -- otherwise, it'll be Wednesday or so. Had baby. Now have 0 time. I'll try to get to this mid-Month, although if someone has a patch I can maybe find time sooner. Sorry about this. (Well, not sorry for having the baby.) Congratulations! :) Don't be sorry, at least i can wait :) - and most other people dont use such funny chars ... Or do they... Hmm... Whatever. However, its nice to hear :) So, does this happen with 2.8 in devel? This was indeed a bug in wxWidgets and it was fixed as soon as we learnt about it, see thread at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.wxwidgets.devel/84070. The fix will first appear in the (soon to be released) 2.8.2 as well as future 2.9 series. Created attachment 149964 [details]
Patch against wxGTK 2.8.1 to fix the issue
Awesome, thanks. Will test tomorrow. Any chance this can be easily backported to 2.6 for the compat-wxGTK package? I'm updating to 2.8.3 in Rawhide, which should include the fix. Sorry for being slow with this. Leaving this open 'cause I plan to backport to FC6. Rawhide and F-7 should be fixed. I'm inclined, at this point, to *not* backport to FC6.... |
