Hi,
I've been having a problem with my Mandrake 6.1 distro for some time. It's
kinda hard to explain, which may be why I haven't found anyone with the same
problem in the list archives or deja.com. Anyway, here's an attempt:
Basically, in a gtk app, either in gnome or kde, selecting an item from a list
(such as a package to update in MandrakeUpdate) causes strange behavior in the
rest of the gui. If nothing is selected from the list, the buttons and
pull-down menus all appear and operate fine. But if one or more items is
selected from the list, the buttons and pull-down menus start acting strangely.
If I pass the mouse over a button in this situation, the button will change to
its "depressed" state, without me having to actually press the button. No
action is taken; the button's appearance merely changes. If I pass the mouse
over the button again, the button will revert back to its "undepressed" state
once again. Same for pull-down lists: with a menu item selected, all the items
in a pull-down list appear like they would if they were selected. The
application works correctly otherwise, but the appearance behavior is still
quite annoying.
I've tried this with multiple versions of gtk+/glib/imlib. My current setup is
this:
gtk+-1.2.3-15mdk
glib-1.2.3-3mdk
imlib-1.9.5-6mdk
glibc-2.1.1-16mdk
This is on a Mandrake 6.1 distro that has been modified overtime with minor
updates and package additions. Pentium II 266MHz 128MB. Any other information
necessary?
Has anyone else seen this problem? Anyone got a fix (other than reinstalling
everything from scratch on a blank HD)?
Thanks,
-Scott
