Public bug reported:
I have tested TexMaker 3.4 and also Texmaker 4.0.1 using QT5 and QT4 in
Ubuntu 13.04 (raring).
I can confirm Texmaker (all versions) contains strange bugs, especially
when trying to compile a .tex file using pdflatex.
In the beginning, it worked, but as time moved on, Texmaker would just
hang (both QT4 and QT5 versions) on "Process started" and not do
anything afterwards, when trying to compile using pdflatex.
I then tried various pdflatex compilation options. Did not help. Then
tried different kernel versions. Did not help. Tried other .tex files.
Same issue with other .tex files when using Texmaker. Compiling a .tex
file using pdflatex and bibtex directly in the Terminal always kept
working. So crosstesting did not help! And there was never anything
wrong with pdflatex or bibtex.
Then I decided to totally remove texmaker, but to keep the following
packages installed:
texlive-binaries, texlive-latex-base, texlive-publishers, texlive-latex-
extra
Then I installed TeXstudio 2.5.2 (SVN 3733M) as a replacement for
Texmaker.
This workaround works. No more weird freezes by compiling in the
TeXstudio GUI instead of Texmaker....
I suspect there is a strange bug in the Texmaker binaries.
Regards,
Mark
