sci-misc/boinc - no menu buttons in boincmgr with x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.12.0

[toralf]

The origin is here : ​https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379979 . It worked flawlessly with x11-libs/wxGTK-2.8.11.0

The version is 6.12.42 - but current subversion trunk show same behavior.

It is not a bug in wxGTK : ​http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/14032#comment:7

workaround is to resize the BM window, if this helps - workaround shamelessly stolen from redhat bugzilla

[toralf]

yes - confirmed, that this works.

[Trog Dog]

Replying to toralf:

yes - confirmed, that this works.

Recompiling against 2.8.11.0 works (will post on gentoo bugzilla change to make to ebuild). For the BOINC devs - something changes between wxwidgets 2.8.11 and 2.8.12 that brings about these missing menus.

From my inbox from user Huib

Hi Mister Dog,
 
Adding a SendSizeEvent(); after installing the menubar (CAdvancedFrame::CreateMenu) seems to “fix” the problem with the disappearing menubar.

Actually still current with 7.0.28

[Trog Dog]

Applied patch and tested on 5 gentoo boxes (compiled 7.0.28) and it addresses the problem.

The comment in the fix indicates it is Ubuntu specific - but it is an issue under Gentoo too.

[toralf]

seems not fixed under an almost stable Gentoo - I still have to apply the patch against 7.0.29

The issue is still in 7.0.29 here at as table Gentoo Linux - therefore I apply always this patch : tfoerste@n22 /usr/local/portage/sci-misc $ cat boinc/files/wxwidgets-2.8.0.12-menufix.patch --- clientgui/AdvancedFrame.cpp_orig 2012-05-20 00:01:49.441702516 +0200 +++ clientgui/AdvancedFrame.cpp 2012-05-20 00:03:00.136490955 +0200 @@ -701,6 +701,10 @@
