wxGTK-3.0.0: Problem with "jumping" AUI panes

[Marco DeFreitas]

I am transitioning to wxGTK-3.0.0 and I am noticing a problem with

From the View menu, select "Create Text Control".

Move the newly created floating window off to the side of the main frame.
From the View menu, I again select "Create Text Control".

This does indeed create a new text control, but also makes the previous one
(that was moved off to the side) jump back to where is was originally
created.

Can anyone verify that this is a bug?

Should I enter it in the Trac system?

Thanks,
Marco

Yes, I see it too. The following patch, which I already used to fix the
docking bug, fixes it for me however:

diff --git a/src/gtk/minifram.cpp b/src/gtk/minifram.cpp
index cc897e7..6b6acad 100644
--- a/src/gtk/minifram.cpp
+++ b/src/gtk/minifram.cpp

y += org_y - win->m_diffY;
- win->m_x = x;
- win->m_y = y;
gtk_window_move( GTK_WINDOW(win->m_widget), x, y );

return TRUE;


Could you please test with this patch and let us know if you find any
problems?

TIA,

I tested it and it looks like docking/undocking is ok. The jumping windows
issue is gone. The disappearing scrollbar issue on wxAuiNotebook is still
there, however.

Thanks,
