| Summary | 0001288: Can't close the About dialog | ||||
| Description | The Close button does not work on the About dialog. Consequently, the only way to get rid of it is to close Ardour, since the dialog is set to WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_SPLASHSCREEN, and thus has no window manager close button, and is always on top. Also, the window always appears in the far top-left of the screen, and would probably be better in the center of the screen. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Start Ardour Windows -> About Click the dialog's close button Desired Result: Close button should hide the dialog | ||||
| Additional Information | This could be my setup, which is GTK+ 2.10.6. I noticed that the gtkmm in libs/ is 2.6.1, which may or may not be fully compatible with such a new gtk version? Since the about dialog is a standard Gtk::AboutDialog, the close button should work out of the box, yes? | ||||

gtkmm 2.6 is fully compatible with gtk 2.10. Although we should probably upgrade it and the others sometime. |

i can't replicate the "cannot close" issue. the position of the window isn't set, i'll make it default to screen center, but note that for some xinerama configurations this is not a good thing either. how are you getting the About dialog to appear? just normal program startup, or opening it from the "Windows" menu ? And yes,it should be under "Help" |

Ive a attached a theora capture of what happens (no sound though). Ive gone through the source code, but havent seen anything that looks like it could be causing this issue. Ive been accessing the dialog just through the windows menu, as per the attached video. Here is my setup: Ardour r1066, compiled with DEBUG=1, PREFIX=/opt/ardour2 Gtk+ 2.10.6. Xfce 4.2.3.2 |

Ok. Did a little research. Check this out: http://www.gtk.org/gtk-2.10-notes.html --snip-- * Dialogs created by gtk_about_dialog_new() no longer hide automatically when the user clicks close. It is the applications responsibility to hide or destroy the dialog. --snip-- Seems like Anjuta had the same problem. |

thats it then. i'll do an explicit close. it would be worth pondering which other dialogs might have this issue. |
|
|
Ive tested all other dialogs I can find. Most dont have their own 'Close' buttons, and thus need to be closed with the window manager's close button - so this problem doesnt seem to apply the remaining dialogs. It looks like the gtk guys just changed the AboutDialog functionality. |
