Bug 193560 – tilda works badly with vte versions above 0.14.2

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Zsolt Fabok 2007-09-23 19:46:43 UTC]

Hi,

I recently updated tilda, which also updated the vte as well. I got a strange behaviour with tilda but narrowed it down to vte version above 0.14.2, for example 0.16.8.

When I unhide the tilda window it blinks one or two. This is not a real problem but after hiding and unhiding the content of the terminal changes. Say the last "view" disappears. More precisely it can be found if the terminal is scrolled up. Another interesting thing that some additinal lines appear. I created some images to make it more understandable.

Additionally this message appears while starting tilda:
(tilda:27847): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_set_geometry_hints: assertion `GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed

With vte 0.14.2 everything works fine, and no message either.

Regards,
Zsolt

I have exactly the same issues.

[Comment 5 Ben Leggett 2007-09-26 19:35:13 UTC]

It's even worse for me with vte-0.16.9/gtk+2.12
It'll eventually stop working after a few show/hides.

[Comment 6 Georg Heissenberger 2007-10-01 08:57:53 UTC]

Same for me.
If I hide/unhide Tilda, there is only a blank white window.

[Comment 7 Ben Leggett 2007-10-03 17:25:07 UTC]

Has anybody bugged upstream about this yet?

tilda isn't maintained by gnome; reassigning to the maintainer.  Keeping gnome in cc.

tilda-9999.ebuild

I am now trying with CVS version, I got the ebuild from forums.gentoo.org

Seems to work ok for, maybe if other people could check this a package with current CVS could be done...

[Comment 15 Fabio Bonfante 2007-12-02 15:57:22 UTC]

the cvs ebuild works for me on both x86 and amd64

[Comment 16 Steev Klimaszewski (RETIRED) 2007-12-03 14:58:37 UTC]

I am not going to add a cvs ebuild to portage, sorry - you could probably get it added to Sunrise, however it doesn't get heavy development.  Closing this bug since its stated to be fixed with latest stable vte.

[Comment 17 Pacho Ramos 2007-12-05 22:08:07 UTC]

Maybe a CVS snapshot could help  :-/

Hi,

Unfortunately I did an update on the vte (current version 0.16.8) and the problem I described in my first commit still available in tilda version 0.9.5. The other problem is that the last vte which worked fine (0.14.2) is no longer available in portage tree.
