GTK3 / wxStaticText size

Do you have a typical platform dependent issue you're battling with ? Ask it here. Make sure you mention your platform, compiler, and wxWidgets version.

Very much appreciated. I will hold filing a bug report until I have tested with 3.1.5.

Hi,
Why don't you compile that version yourself and try it?

Thank you.

Never done that. Building a huge project usually involves a lot of setup and learning the build system. If David had no intentions to provide a semi-official build, I would have gone to the trouble myself. But this way, I don't have to.

Hi,
This is actually very easy and straightforward.

1. Download and untar the archive (in e.g. ~/wxWidgets-3.1.5)
2.

Code: Select all

cd ~/wxWidgets-3.1.5
mkdir buildGTK
cd buildGTK
../configure --with-gtk=3 --enable-debug
make -j4
sudo make install
3. Recompile your project
4. Test

Very simple and it will take about 20 minutes of "machine time" on "new-ish" hardware.

Thank you.

Update: It's still broken in 3.1.5 :(

Hi,
Do you have a simple and minimal reproducer? Preferably as a patch to one of the samples?

Thank you.

Bug #16088 has been reopened and is already confirmed. It contains the test case from this forum thread.

I found this bug report: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/16088
It was closed 3 days ago and the fix should be in 3.1.5. Are you planning to provide 3.1.5 packages in your repository?
Should that not be version 3.1.6?

No. I meant 3.1.5. At the time it was thought that 3.1.5 fixed the problem, but unfortunately it became clear that the fix was incomplete.
