Created attachment 2868 [details] S ource script to demonstrate the error This script is an exact copy of http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/gtk2-perl-study-guide/c4506.html with 2 exceptions: - to avoid excessive height of the resulting display, the number of items has been reduced from 50 to 20 - ease taking a snapshot from a window, the height of the window has been increased by inserting an additional vbox below the one with the combobox These changes are marked by ### Created attachment 2869 [details]

Cauldron if i'm trying a similar example with python (http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/examples/comboboxwrap.py) i get the same behaviour. so it seems that the problem comes from gtk2 itself, not the bindings themselves (perl or python). ==> re-assigning to Olav, gtk2+ maintainer CC:

Summary:
Combobox set_wrap_width does not work with perl-gtk =>
Combobox set_wrap_width does not work with gtk2+ The problem is still present in Mageia 3 (latest cauldron updates). The evidences from Comment 4 (attachment 2889 [details]) and Comment 5 follow the same logic - check whether the problem is present in some other implementation downsteam from gtk2+, but they arrive at opposite conclusions. How can we make progress with this bug ? This is a nice feature of gtk - I just hit the same bug again when I tried to create a combobox that offers the choice between all nodes of a lengthy directory. Sorry, but this bug saw no action since over 2 yrs ago. No cauldron package has stayed the same since then. Closing as OLD Please reopen if this report is still valid for _current_ cauldron and/or fully updated Mageia 4 Status:
NEW =>
RESOLVED I have switched all my applications to gtk3 by now: - the bug is fixed in gtk3 - when I last tried in gtk2, the bug was still there. Given that it is ok with gtk3, no need to worry if it pushes a beard. |
