Bugs Fixed in Tix

Changes after Tix4.0a5 released

The paned window recalculates the window sizes not correctly. When -size and -min are equal I get the expected size. If -min is smaller it gets no correct size (the window shrinks to the minimal possible size).

The vresize handle should have the definition of data(abort) in the class creation. Right now it can happen that a release event (sent without a preceeding press events) creates a Tcl error.

There is a problem with the tixComboBox widget, which stopped working correctly after tix7.4a3. Tix7.4a5 still has the problem. Using the demo/widget example. the button-1 selection on all tixComboBox'es seems to not select with one mouse click. I think there is something wrong in library/ComboBox.tcl.

When using PanedWindow in a largish application, I get this
        data(-orientation): no such element in array
        called from tixPanedWindow::GetNaturalSizes, line6
        called from TixPanedWindow::Repack, line 6

In ScrolledWidget you calculate the new geometry of the scrollbar widgets. You should check for the validity of these values (they must be greater 1). They are not always, causing an X error on certain X servers (as you request a width of -20).

Line 129 of VResize.tcl always changes the relief to raised. I guess this may be meant to match the depress on lines 81-83.

In tixScrolledWindow. With the option '-scrollbar auto' is seems to work well but with '-scrollbar x' and '-scrollbar y' are swapped. With either 'x' 'y' or 'both' it doesn't show the contents of the window until I click on one of the scroll bars.

(This was intended behavior, not changed): Also if I have a vertical scrollbar only and I resize the window to be smaller than some long entry widgets then the widgets aren't shortened to fit within the new window but instead go past the end where I can't see them and because I don't have a horizontal scrollbar (because I don't want one, I want the entry widgets to get shorter and then for me to scroll within a widget) I can't see what is past the end.

    All I am doing is building a directory tree and then clicking on a
    file I open a dialog with the Scrolled text widget displaying the
    file. When I run my application on my workstation ( Sun Sparc IPC,
    running SunOS4.1.3 ) everything is fine, when i run it on a Viper
    X-terminal it is fine.  But When I run it on a NCD X-terminal
    (those supposed to be fast babies ), it crashes , at the point
    where I open the file to display in the Scrolled text widget..the
    message is

	        insufficient resources: Bad Alloc
                XCreatePixmap...blah blah

    Basically the server is NOT able to allocate the resources??
    could you enlighten me as to what is going wrong..please Thanks,
    
I think this was caused by a memory allocation problem in tixHList.c. It was fixed.

Fixed a bunch of bugs in tixForm, including the "chop off" bug. Also, fixed a bunch of memory allocation problems and leaks.

HList didn't draw highlights or anchor properly on mono screens.

   Balloon widget

    1.  If I specified an invalid option name to tixBalloon, it failed to
        tidy up on exit.  E.g.

        % tixBalloon .bal -statusBar .c
        unknown option "-statusBar"
        % tixBalloon .bal -statusbar .c
        window name "bal" already exists in parent

        I think I saw this on several other widgets.

    2.  An invalid value for the "-state" option was accepted without 
        error.  E.g.

        %.bal configure -state fred

    3.  The Widget option "-state" description does not describe "balloon", 
        "both" and "status" states, just "normal" and "disabled".

In Tix4.0b2, the -selection option doesn't see edits by the mouse in the entry subwidget. Back to the Tix Documentation Master Index
