In this context "widgets" are the gui buttons, text box's etc.

In mint changing the "appearance" settings theme from say MintX to MintY changes the look of the gui objects, spacing, etc.

You will probably find your gui looks different using qt instead of gtk.

The widgets (gui objects) are created by the toolkit currently in use.

Changing things like theme/font size can result in slightly different looks. Some themes also are not written in a standard way causing unexpected behaviour that Benoit has to make workarounds for.

here's a bit of Irony for you.

i can't report this bug, as the bug reporter seems to be bugged.    
i registered with it the bug reporter tool on this site like an hour ago. and been waiting for the conformation, email but nothing.
and yes. i checked the spam folder and the deleted folder along with the inbox & unread emails.

how do i report a bug in the bug reporter?  :?:

No, in fact it is not.
You will never receive a confirmation if you use a gmail account. This is because gmail doesn't deliver them. It has nothing to do with the bug reporter.
This has already been explained to you in this thread.
Please consider the effort put in by the people trying to help you and read their posts and act accordingly.

ah, i found what it was.

but thanks for the input.


 :!:   Bug Reported

Thank you very much

best regards

thank you everyone for your help

greatly appreciated, also helped me find out the spacer issue isn't due to my coding

keep up the amazing work <3

Happy to help.
Sorry for moaning <EMOJI seq="1f609" tseq="1f609">😉</EMOJI>

 Wow, am I right in thinking that Benoît has already fixed it, or was it already fixed in master?
Without changing the status in the bugtracker to fixed, does mean it has already been fixed, isn't it?
Does anyone here perhaps know?

Yes I think he means it's already fixed in master (as no git commits happened before his reply)
but it is not added to stable yet, it will be in the next stable release..

Thank you very much for your prompt reply, Bruce.

JMathers. Try installing master instead of stable.

If the bug is gone in master then we can confirm it's fixed in next stable release <EMOJI seq="1f60e" tseq="1f60e">😎</EMOJI>

If it's still there then he'll need to look into it again.

 i did, as per last post.
i am now on.

3.20.4 ab0099a (master)

 3.20.4 is the "stable" version , the master version is 3.20.99
not sure why it says master , the stable version never used to show the commit but now it does (and incorrectly says master)
but the master (development) version is always revision .99

I also wonder why system configuration show me a (master) after the version number.
I was also a little confused about this, but I know that I put in a "stable" during the installation.
And there are no updates , so I was sure that I don't use master.

So, JMathers you have a little bit to wait. But I'm sure not so long

3.20.4 ab0099a (master)

I think Benoit just forgot to configure something when releasing 3.20.4 as stable    

no problem, i can wait

am just happy the .. issue.. is getting addressed

Well, actually….

Since you reported the issue, you are kind of expected to see if the fix worked  
So, you could simply switch to master and test, as it happens on your system and only you can confirm the fix.
Until then, it MIGHT be fixed. Did you login to bug report and check what got posted by Benoit? Did he ask for you to test if fixed or was he sure of the fix?

 if i knew how.. i'd look at doing it.

and no, there was just a note they fixed it.
nothing about seeing if it works or not, while i'd like to see if it works.
i wouldn't know how to.. get from 3.20.4 to .99

took me hours just to find how to get to 20.4

Hi JMathers,

do you remember this post?

Poly said

Hi JMathers,

have you put in a term for the version?

master to install the development version.
stable to install the latest stable version.
3.XY to install the last release of the 3.XY version. For example, 3.20 for the last release of Gambas 3.20.

so you should use for example:

Code


echo 'deb http://downloadcontent.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/stable/xUbuntu_24.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:stable.list

curl -fsSL https://downloadcontent.opensuse.org/repositories/home:gambas:stable/xUbuntu_24.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_stable.gpg > /dev/null



Now, you should only substitute "stable" with "master" and that it is.


I would be very great if you can do it.
However it is not as easy when you don't use a virtual system.
Especially when it is your only system like it is for me.

So I understand when you don't want to try.
But let me say, it would be great for the community if you try and confirm success so this problem and this thread can change to solve or so on.


best regards
Poly

so all ..4.. stable to master?


echo 'deb http://downloadcontent.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/master/xUbuntu_24.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:master.list

curl -fsSL https://downloadcontent.opensuse.org/repositories/home:gambas:master/xUbuntu_24.04/Release.key | gpg –dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_master.gpg > /dev/null


edit ; i am more then willing to do it, but i've only been on linux a few months, so my working knowledge on how to change / upgrade something that isn't in the software update app, is very limited

Hi JMathers,

yes all 4 stable to master.
Nice, that you will try

I think it's great that you want to try it.  
I'm not very familiar with repros either, but I'll try to help you. It should actually work exactly the same way as the stable installation.

But be sure to disable or remove the stable list first
<HIGHLIGHT highlight="shell">

sudo apt-get remove gambas3*
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:stable.list

echo 'deb http://downloadcontent.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/master/xUbuntu_24.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:master.list
curl -fsSL https://downloadcontent.opensuse.org/repositories/home:gambas:master/xUbuntu_24.04/Release.key | gpg –dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_master.gpg > /dev/null

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gambas3

</HIGHLIGHT>

after alot of work, and faffing around, got it updated

.99 seems to have fixed it

Thanks :mrgreen:  


edit ; yes, i had to make a desktop recording n then pause it n take a picture of it.

print screen button doesnt seem to want to take a picture when the app / test app is active.

or if you do add them both you can use the mint source manager to disable one..
