1. Hide right pane by dragging center seperator to it's rightmost position. 2. Close xffm and open it back up again 3. Unhide right pane The icons will "not be there" until you click to expand one of the trees.
Additional information: Condition showing in FreeBSD 5.1, on startup with a single pane present (right pane). Icons don't show until something is expanded. Bug does not occur always...
BTW the title should read: "xffm: right pane icons disappear if you start w/ the right pane hidden"
I cannot reproduce problem with either CVS-HEAD (gtk-2.2.2 freeBSD-5.1) nor 4.0.3 (gtk-2.2.4 linux-2.4.22). Could it be your version of gtk?
I'm using gtk 2.2.4 from Mandrake Linux 9.2. I also just attached an image of the bug.
Indeed. The filenames are missing as well as the icons. Please wait a short while and update your CVS just to check if current version has the same problem. You will know your CVS is up to date if you can rename files by simply clicking on the file name to edit. Let us know if the problem remains.
Ok.. updated and has the renaming bahavior you described. But the problem is still there.
Seems to me like a Mandrake specific issue, as if the gtk library were compiled with some sort of optimization that does not realize pixmaps until actually displayed. I dunno what could be broken with the Mandrake built binaries. Unless someone with a Mandrake box (not me) can come up with a patch this bug will go unfixed to 4.2.
I'm going to recompile from source from gtk.org and see if it persists.
Ok, after a recompile of gtk+, the file names are there but the icons still are not.
Well, seems we're moving in a positive direction. The icons reside in X server memory, so it is possible that glib is also screwy and is the cause of the invisible icons. Try recompiling glib. Maybe that will complete the trick. If it does, the problem should be brought to the attention of the Mandrake guys too.
Ok, glib recompile complete, but no such luck. Same thing.
It might be the Xfree server. That one takes a loong time to compile, but there are binaries at the XFree site. Apparently no system but Mandrake experiences this problem.
OK, I can now reproduce the error, so it is not Mandrake specific. If you I have the autosize filenames on, then all is well for the name column, but the icon column is too small so no icons are visible. Without the autosize filenames, the name column is also invisible. No problems with the other columns, so it must be related to the sizing characteristics of the column.
I'm almost sure this bug is fixed with changes uploaded today to CVS. The bug is reproduceable on FreeBSD and is due to faulty autosize function in gtk, and that is probably the same situation in Mandrake. Please verify if bug is fixed in Mandrake, and if it is not, reopen bug.
