Of course that there's no objections. Just do it.

[Lazarus] ListView.OnSelectItem - which LCL backend is correct?

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

I found a bug in LCL's TListView. The OnSelectItem event. When you
select an item in the Listview, that event is triggered twice. Once with
the Selected = True (indicating the new selection) and once with the
Selected = False (indicating the old selection).

But the order of those events are reversed between LCL-Win32/64 and
LCL-GTK2. I haven't tried other LCL backends, so don't know the order
of them.

So which backend has the correct behaviour, so I can file a bug report
for the other one. Seeing has LCL by design is very Windows centric, I'm
assuming the LCL-Win32/64 is the correct behaviour?

Unfortunately the documentation doesn't specify the expected behaviour.
http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/lcl/comctrls/tcustomlistview.onselectitem.html

Also, it seems that under LCL-GTK2 the first time you select a new item,
it generates this event more times than under LCL-Win32/64.

Regards,
  - Graeme -

You could rule out GTK by compiling the IDE with Qt WS, and switching to 
KDE desktop (which is Qt based).

If it's just a GTK issue, you wouldn't have anything GTK related in the way.

It's a known issue of Ubuntu 14, which messed up ibus input methods.
You should locate where input methods are defined (somewhere in keyboard 
settings) and set to "none", unless you need a specific one.
If you do, just hope that your input method isn't one of those which 
have been messed up, or google for an update!

[Lazarus] Lazarus Qt support and Wiki

[Giuliano Colla]

Hi all.

In recent years the support for Qt Widgeset in Lazarus has dramatically 
improved, thanks to the efforts of Zeljan and others. My grateful thanks 
to all of them!


The result is that nowadays Qt WS is fully mature, suitable for 
production projects, and, at least for my applications and my taste, 
better than GTK2.


The only problem I see is that a lot of Wiki pages are outdated, and 
still report Qt as "experimental" and "unstable". Many features are 
reported as supported only under Win or GTK WS, while they're perfectly 
supported also by Qt.


Last example, just this morning: I used for the first time a 
TPopUpNotifier component, and I consulted the Wiki page to get some 
hints. The page states that it's supported only under Win32, GTK and 
GTK2, while it works perfectly also with Qt.


I'm afraid that such a situation can discourage a number of potential 
user from using Qt, while a wider usage would generate a better and 
deeper testing, thus helping ironing out what's left to iron out.


Is it ok if, whenever I stumble into a Wiki page which is outdated with 
respect of Qt support, I do edit it to reflect the current status of things?

Michael, as for me, I also find that if I run lazarus as root,
keyboard input would work fine.  I am still suspecting that the bug is
in lazarus for this reason.  When you have time, would you please test
with ibus enabled, and run lazarus as root?  thank you.

Here or there?

However, for me, either is fine. The yellow icons are only in the treeview
nodes, it would be irritating if yellow is the dominant color. Blue is
indeed calmer, but it doesn't make significant differences.


I prefer a somewhat calmer look for my apps.

I must agree with Howard though, that the meaning of the different icons 
escapes me totally.
