XWindows crashes

Hi 

I have several RedHat 9 machines running PgAdmin III v 1.0.2.
For the most part, PgAdmin is running well, but we have had frequent
crashes. These crashes are usually associated with selecting 
and (possibly dragging) text in the SQL windows. The mouse 
cursor changes to a right-angle, and X-windows immediately stops 
responding to the mouse (with luck at this stage X will respond to
ctrl-alt-backspace). 

I had a quick look through the archives and could not find any
other reports of this problem. Has anyone got a work-around/fix?

Thanks 

Greg Ford

I've had the same problem, gentoo 1.4, 2.6.3 kernel, xfree 4.3.3; 
happens w/kde, fluxbox, windowmaker.  If I'm lucky, I can Alt-F to close 
the sql session and get my mouse back.  Otherwise I need to flip to a 
virtual terminal and kill the pgadmin's pid.  If the keyboard is 
completely unresponsive, I ssh in from another box, get the pid and kill 
-9 it.  This happens at least once every day, I've remedied some of the 
problem by using the keyboard to select, copy, cut and paste text. For 
the most part, though, pgadmin3 saves me so much time, I don't get too 
annoyed with this error.

Dear Greg,

I can confirm this kind of crash in all Debian snapshots. When we last
discussed this freezing problem with Andreas, it seemed that the cause of the
bugs were burried deeply into wxWindows. So, there is no easy fix to that
problem.

Cheers, Jean-Michel

Good idea, I hadn't thought of that.

Yes, I mostly try to use keyboard shortcuts, but every now 
and then habit kicks in... 

Thanks anyway.

Jean Michel,

can you have a try with pgadmin3-1.0.2 debian package v0.13 that can be found on http://www.enrici.com/pgadmin please ?
The two files you need are these ones (built against debian unstable):
pgadmin3-data_1.0.2-0.13_all.deb
pgadmin3_1.0.2-0.13_i386.deb

Please take care that this package is splitted in two packages : pgadmin3 and pgadmin3-data.
(apt-get --purge remove pgadmin3 before installing the new ones)

Tell me if you are subject to this kind of crash with it.

Regards,
Raphaël

The new Debian packages seem to work fine. When will these packages be pushed
into unstable?

I could not reproduce the freezing bug.

Some remarks:
- - Another bug concerning adding users is gone (it used to crash).

- - Fonts do not display well as usual (see a screenshot:
http://developer.pgadmin.org/jean-michel/screenshots/problem_font.png).
I know this is another wx issue.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel

I'm glad to read this! :)
Wait a little for them to enter... It's on the way. Don't break my future surprise ;)

On which version of wxWindows snapshot are the actual 1.0.2 rpms versions built ?

>Some remarks:

nice too. We must be sure of this before claiming it's ok.


>- - Fonts do not display well as usual (see a screenshot:

shhhh...t!


Greg, and others suffering from these bugs, I'll post a cumulated patch describing all the steps I followed to build
thesedebian packages. The only patch which is not a pure pgAdmin3 patch concerns wxWindows help crash posted by Andreas
inlate 2003. 
I hope these patches which are all backports from 1.1.0 snapshot will give birth to a 1.0.3 or something like this.

I really hope we will be able to produce working rpms correcting this.

Pushing this thread to pgadmin-hackers.

Raphaël
