Hi! I hope you won't kill me if I post some bugs here instead of over at BerliOS. I really don't want to register just for that, and these bugs are so small. =/ (But I will if you insist though.)

Alright, here goes:

1. Abbreviations: The "--->" thingy inserts an actual tab character even though I've told CB to insert tabs as spaces.

2. The caret doesn't stop blinking when I press the tab key, so after repeated tabs the caret disappears and I must wait a short while to see where I am. (In contrast to when I press backspace several times and always see the caret.)

[edit]
I'm using WinXP SP2 and the latest CB nightly.

Thanks for the best IDE ever!

1. Abbreviations: The "--->" thingy inserts an actual tab character even though I've told CB to insert tabs as spaces.

The problem there is that it uses a cbStyledTextCtrl (the preview window over there) which haves the settings hardcoded, they aren't readed from the settings that cbEditor (the main editor) uses.

The following editor-preview windows haves that inconsistency:
-Source formatter (AStyle)
-Default code
-Abbreviations
-Syntax highlighting

Another little inconsistency is that 'Syntax highlighting' let's you select a language other than C/C++, while:
-Source formatter (AStyle) does not: it's ok as AStyle doesn't support another language, but there should be a warning. In the future even supporting other source formatters for other languages will be better.
-Default code does not: this shouldn't be difficult to solve.
-Abbreviations does not: neither this.

2. The caret doesn't stop blinking when I press the tab key, so after repeated tabs the caret disappears and I must wait a short while to see where I am. (In contrast to when I press backspace several times and always see the caret.)

Have you tried disabling "Hide cursor as you type" in Windows' cursor settings?

[tretton]

1. Oh, okay. Just wanted to point it out. =)

2. Maybe you thought I meant the mouse cursor? =) I mean the focus marker which blinks where you type (while you're not typing). This is the only program I know of that "misbehaves" on this issue. I mean, it does work for backspace.

I also tried what you said, but it didn't help. Not very surprising though, since the mouse cursor shouldn't have anything to do with it. I hope.

[takeshimiya]

This is the only program I know of that "misbehaves" on this issue. I mean, it does work for backspace.

I can reproduce it, but it's a Scintilla issue (I can reproduce it in SciTE), so make sure you submit a bug report to them here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2439

Nonetheless, you can configure the color & width of the caret in Settings->Editor->Gutter, margins and caret.

Scintilla should have a method to disable blinking too.

This doesn't seem big enough for a bug report (yet). It's probably a small thing. I noticed in the nightly I got that the tools command

explorer.exe ${PROJECT_DIR} doesn't work anymore. It lauches the tool but the window never opens up. and it kind of stalls under I open the folder manually. Also Mandrav added another command, but it's not listed in the window.

Thank you for that. I've been squinting at that skinny caret for 6 months.

lo, as you can see from my poster count, i'm new here. first of all, congratulations for your program, even if i started c++ studying only few months ago, i want to say that this is the one of the best compiler i've ever used, thanks for your work.

now, i got an issue installing this build (it's the first time i install one, so maybe i've made some stupid mistake). i've downloaded zip files and overwrote the old ones in the CodeBlocks directory. when i try to run the program, i got an error that says: "impossible to find ingress point GetStringFromArray of procedure in dynamic linking library codeblocks.dll". is it a known issue? what can i do to fix it?

thanks for the help. see you around

did you overwrite RC2 ??

It is best to do a clean and seperate install. You can reuse the Mingw from RC2, or you can install Mingw manually.

See the wiki on the main page : cookbook for the nightlies, it explains on how to do that (ignore the other stuff).

It does. I probably could submit a patch for this pretty soon.

[PsYhLo]

When the toolbar is with 22x22 icons

• toolbar-images-not-changing-state (is a wx problem/Win XP problem)

the problem is no more exist (just for toolbar not for menu )

sorry for my poor english

[Silicium62]

there are several issues with Code Completion (is being redesigned : work in progress)

Just to know : this work is really in progress or it is in stand by ?

[sethjackson]

True to my word here is the patch for setting the caret blink "period".

i've uninstalled and reinstalled codeblocks. now it seems to be ok, thanks
