Experiment Window Not Responsive to Mouse Click

[littleflashback]

Hi there, I am running the example simulations. The window does pop up and I can change the value on the top bar via keyboard: However, the other parts of the window are not responsive to any mouse click.

Thank you for your support.

Hello @littleflashback, can you provide me with some detail?

1. Does the play button work at all? Or it's one of the buttons that is unresponsive?
2. Are you running ARGoS in a VM, and if so, which one?
3. What operating system are you using?
4. How did you install ARGoS – from the provided packages, or from the sources? (Looks like you used the packages, but I wanna make sure)

[littleflashback]

1 None of the buttons are responsive. 2 & 3. I am running ARGoS in WSL.

4. I installed ARGoS from the binary package.

[ilpincy]

OK – just to confirm, is WSL Windows Subsystem for Linux? If so, it's a use case I haven't thoroughly tested firsthand.

I see you're reporting this bug in the Kilobot repository. Is it because ARGoS works otherwise, and it stops working when the Kilobot plugin is installed?

[littleflashback]

Yes, I am using Windows Subsystem for Linux. Just tried the standard ARGoS examples and they are having the same issue.

[ilpincy]

OK, so this issue should be in the main ARGoS repository, since it's not related to the kilobot plug-in.

I have never experienced this issue, but I'll see if I can find someone here that can reproduce it. Did you follow these instructions to setup WSL?

The main question is whether this problem is specific to ARGoS or related to running QT applications in general.

[littleflashback]

Hi there, since ARGoS was working when I first ran it, I tried reinstalling WSL and reproducing the issue. It seems to be a problem with VSCode WSL. Things worked fine before I opened any source code in VSCode WSL.

Thank you for your help!

[ilpincy]

OK, happy that it's resolved. Weird issue!
