HI!

Discovered 3 GUI bugs in aMule 2.0.0 on Suse 9.2 using RPMs from aMule site.

1.
All german Umlauts in the GUI are corrupted.

2.
When running aMule inside a VNC session on Suse 9.2 with KDE 3.4, the preferences window flickers badly (is being redrawn all the time).

3.
The preferences OK/Cancel buttons are not visible at 800x600, 75dpi.

Main problem for me is 3.

Self-compiled aMule CVS 20050321 with self-compiled wxGTK 2.5.4 (UTF8 enabled) did not have any of these problems.

2.0.0rc8 also had problem 1 and 2, but not 3.

1) You'll probably need a unicoded build, you can check if your copy uses unicode by running "amule --version", the string will contain "(unicoded)" if it is.
2) This seems to be a problem with either wxWidgets, GTK or VNC. We don't do anything unusual on the preferences dialog, so the flickering issue is suprising.
3) Sorry about that, I'll try to fix that before the next release.

i think i know what causes pb nr.1 .. i have disabled UTF8 and your suse has it enabled.

i'll build later another rpm with UTF8 enabled and give it to you.

cheers

@Xaignar:
2) Maybe this is really a problem with wxGTK and KDE 3.4, because I have this since updating to KDE 3.4. But I can't remember if I built that CVS version from march, that does not have this problem,  under KDE 3.4. I may try building aMule 2.0.0 under KDE 3.4.

@deltaHF:
Thanks. wxGTK devel RPM would be nice, too. :-)

I have the same flickering with Fluxbox and VNC but I think that this ist not VNCs fault. If I change the tab e.g. from transfer to statistics there is no flickering.
If I enable automatic update of the download queue the transfer window flickers very much.

thats a known "bug" (flicker of the transfer window when auto-sort is enabled) ... and should happen only when you use gtk2

cheers

[Mr Faber]

Yes, I use wxGTK 2.6 with gtk2.

yep, thats it.. dunno if you mind to recompile the whole stuff and use gtk1 ..

HI!

Additional info:

2. only happens with a 800x600 VNC session. It does not flicker with a 1024x768 VNC session. Tested with aMule 2.0.0rc8.
