Hi.

Thank you for evilvte, it's a very good and pretty fast terminal emulator, I've mode to it from Konsole.

Writing this because I've found a bug in it.

Config: tabs, close dialog, close safely.

The problem: while > 1 tab is opened clicking close and cancel in dialog main window disappears.

Solution:

delete_event must return gboolean, TRUE - do not destroy the window, FALSE - do destroy.

 P.S. Configuration dialog & rc file would be very nice ;)

also there is a problem with build:

./configure creates ./src/config.o which is included by Makefile, but make clean, which should remove only build results removes it too, so

next make && make install goes  to /usr/local instead of prefix given by user.

I think it is fixed on 0.4.5~pre2 and later ones. :-)

Thank you. I will fix it in next release.

I have no plan to support conffile soon. :-P

I'm afraid it's not. I've been playing with 0.4.5~pre4 and here is the code:

src/sakura.c:1091 declaration is  void delete_event();

Yeh, I know. I resolved that problem by another work around.

Do you still have the window-disappearing problem with 0.4.5~pre4?

had. I've hacked sources so this problem is gone.

I can not reproduce the bug on 0.4.5~pre4. :-(

When I found the bug, I noticed that it only occur on 32 bit environment.

I wrote CLOSE_DIALOG option under 64 bit environment, and it never encountered problems.

My daily use evilvte does not enable CLOSE_DIALOG, so I did not notice the problem until 0.4.5~pre2.

Timeline:

I started evilvte project under 64 bit environment -> support CLOSE_DIALOG -> ...(a long duration here)... -> I changed my daily use system to 32 bit environment -> ...(a long duration here)... -> I noticed the window-disappearing problem, which only occur on 32 bit environment -> I fixed it with a simple work around, and released 0.4.5~pre2.

Could you paste your patches here?

Or, could you provide the detailed procedure to reproduce the bug?

 the main part of this bug is about delete_event

now it's returning gboolean.

P.S. sorry for not responding for long.

Thank you!

I have tested and applied it to the evilvte trunk. :-)

thank you.

btw, evilvte is missing one critical thing: search in buffer. I've tried to find something in libvte reference, but all I've found is

for visible buffer part :( If you could tell me how do I get the buffer data or raw pointer to text I could implement this and post a patch.

search dialog is used not often, but I've got pretty used to it.

As far as I know, VTE does not provide this feature.

And, no VTE based terminal emulators has this feature yet.

:(:(:( /me went hacking libvte
