problems with 7.0

Post by zaphod »

I've been using 7.0 since it first arrived. However, I figured that some "obvious" bugs would get fixed so I didn't do anything about them...

I'm using Linux Mint 17 which is based on Ubuntu 14.04.

When I start Codelite the last tabs open are no longer restored. The is an option to restore the last session, which is set by default, but the upgrade killed the behavior.

Likewise no GDB I just get a dialog box that says "Failed to locate gdb! at '/usr/bin/gdb '" but which gdb returns /usr/bin/gdb -- weird.

I tried to rename a project but the contents of the virtual folder just disappeared !!

So 7.0 looks like a major regression to me.

Lastly, when using the new Codelite terminal beware of stdio-ing too much stuff to it. It can't handle endless data the way the regular terminal does.

Fixed in git master

Fixed in git msater (the solution is also simple: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2848 ... 1#28492841)

Indeed, but this is not a regression. Also, you could also revert to the native terminal

Thank you Eran,
I knew you'd be on to this stuff. That's why I didn't post anything earlier. I'm looking forward to 7.01

The built-in terminal is, of course, not a regression -- but people should realize that if they dump 100,000 lines of text to it then results will likely be bad. :o

I like the built-in terminal because I can copy from it which isn't possible with the native terminal. I find hard copy very useful for studying diagnostic dumps away from my computer.

Keep up the good work.
