Bug #12169 2007-10-13 23:10

terrix

ALT-G window is not useful when working with keyboard

ALT+G opens a file-list window. when using ARROW DOWN/UP keys and going with the selector out of the list, the list position doesn't update to follow selected items.. so it is not possible to see what file is currently under selector.

This is due to a bug in wxGTK. You need to patch wxWidgets source to fix this problem. Use the following patch.

--- src/gtk/listbox.cpp	2007-09-25 16:52:42.000000000 +0800
+++ src/gtk/listbox.cpp	2007-10-20 12:09:51.000000000 +0800

     m_blockEvent = false;
 }

Please note that the patch has been prepared with wxWidgets-2.8.6.

Thanks for your feedback.

thanx for fast reaction.

i've added mentioned lines.... recompiled wx..and installed again.. but it didn't help...

i have wx2.8.5, but the code for listbox.cpp seems to be looking same.. may be i miss something...

I would suggest you to not to use wx-2.8.5. Please upgrade to wx-2.8.6 instead.

The patch works perfectly on my system and it has been accepted by wx team. :)

ok, i'll try once again with wx-2.8.6
