WIDGET_TEXT regression #1720

Closed jtappin closed 7 months ago

jtappin commented 8 months ago

I just found that the WIDGET_TEXT issue #1064 problem of not inserting newlines into a multiline text widget has resurfaced.

I don't think it's related to the latest event handling changes as I can reproduce it back till the packages are not runnable owing to changes in the blas libraries on Manjaro/Arch last summer, but I'm pretty sure I've been able to use the graffer dataset editor more recently than that. This make me think that something has changed in wxwidgets (or possibly gtk3).

My current wxwidgets libraries are:

$ pacman -Qs wxwidgets
local/wxwidgets-common 3.2.4-3
    Common libraries and headers for wxwidgets
local/wxwidgets-gtk3 3.2.4-3
    GTK+3 implementation of wxWidgets API for GUI
$ pacman -Q gtk3 
gtk3 1:3.24.39-2

The wxwidget libs were built 12-Dec-2023, gtk3 on 26-Dec-2023.

Test routine: test_text.pro

Thanks @jtappin now corrected (strange effect, due to a change in library?)

Thanks.

BTW, while chasing this one into a corner I realized that a couple of entry box widgets that I have written do not originate from IDL's CW_FIELD codebase[*] so I'm tidying one of them up to be a CW_FIELD for GDL.

[*] Probably because that codebase is vile.
