Description William Kenney 2014-08-14 23:12:04 CEST

kompoZer is an ( old ) WYSIWYG content editor.

To replicate simply open one of the pull down menues
File/Edit/View/Insert/Format/Table/Tools/Help
and the selections will be blackened out. Probably
needs to be recompiled with the new GTK or something.
This bug also occurs in M4.

Aside from this kompoZer is long since died. It has
been forked to:

http://bluegriffon.org/

I have downloaded a Bluegriffon:

bluegriffon-1.5.1-1.fc16.i686.rpm

and installed that just fine on M4. Are we too far along
with M5 to replace kompoZer with Bluegriffon? FWIW
Bluegriffon also exhibits the same blackened pull down menus.

Reproducible:

Known issue, although I was surprised I couldn't find another Mageia bug report for it.  We do have a package request for bluegriffon in Bug 3132.

It's not as simple as rebuilding, as we've done that before Mageia 4 already.

Of course, if BlueGriffon does the same thing, that doesn't help us.

Comment 2 William Kenney 2014-08-15 17:38:57 CEST

Would it be easier to just scrap KompoZer and go to Bluegriffon
rather then fix KompoZer or is it just a push?

Comment 3 David Walser 2014-08-15 19:51:51 CEST

I don't know.  If they both have the same problem, it's probably the same bug with the same fix.  However, I doubt we'll be the ones fixing it unless another distro finds/makes a patch.  In that case, not many distros have bluegriffon packaged, so higher likelihood with kompozer.  If upstream fixes it, kompozer is dead upstream, so only chance there is with bluegriffon.

Anyway, if bluegriffon was easy to package we'd have already done it years ago...

Comment 4 Luc Menut 2014-10-27 19:58:21 CET

Could you try to launch kompozer and/or bluegriffon in a terminal with OXYGEN_APPLICATION_NAME_OVERRIDE=xulrunner

OXYGEN_APPLICATION_NAME_OVERRIDE=xulrunner kompozer
OXYGEN_APPLICATION_NAME_OVERRIDE=xulrunner bluegriffon

Is there the same problem, or does it work better?

> OXYGEN_APPLICATION_NAME_OVERRIDE=xulrunner kompozer

Wow! How bout that. That worked perfectly.
I'll try bluegriffon later but I bet it works there too.

Comment 6 Luc Menut 2014-10-28 23:46:00 CET

This should be fixed in Cauldron with oxygen-gtk-1.4.6-1.mga5 (without needing to use OXYGEN_APPLICATION_NAME_OVERRIDE=xulrunner).

I plan to update oxygen-gtk for mga4 in coming weeks.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Hardware: i586 => All
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
Source RPM: kompozer-0.8-0.b3.5.mga4.i586.rpm => oxygen-gtk

Many thanks for your help.

For the record, an update (oxygen-gtk-1.4.6-2.mga4) for this issue has been pushed to Mageia Updates repository.
