SlickEdit® / Re: Tool windows don't work (Linux)

« Last post by Dennis on March 24, 2023, 09:51:17 pm »

If I can find time next week to test SlickEdit with WSL, I'll give it a shot.  No promises.  This is an untested configuration, but we did have users who tried it with earlier versions of WSL that relied in the MingW X-server.

Docking can be enabled or disabled only in Tools->Options->Appearance->Tool Windows.  The tool window menu can't be accessed because the tool window ignores the mouse.

After installation, the Qt4 version had no docked tool windows but the Qt5 version did.

Sorry, could you clarify what you are seeing here:

If docking is disabled for a window, the window can never be docked again and will remain undocked and unresponsive if made visible and docked.

Do you mean that you can not access the tool window menu to make it dockable?

Both the Qt4 and Qt5 builds should start out with the same set of tool windows docked by default -- in a clean default configuration.

Qt5 version: Docking sometimes docks the window.  The window appears to work fine.  But this is a one-time only thing.  If docking is disabled for a window, the window can never be docked again and will remain undocked and unresponsive if made visible and docked.
Regular version: Docking does nothing.  The tool window stays where it's at and is still unresponsive.  I don't know if it will do the same thing as the Qt5 version.  Nothing is docked whereas the Qt5 version had 5 windows docked by default.

Native resolution, no scaling.

Do you have better luck with the tool windows if they are docked?  For the Find and Replace tool window, you may need to go to Options > Tool Windows and enable docking for it. 

Also, is the host machine using scaling or native resolution for all your monitors?

The default configuration didn't work.

The Qt5 version worked a little bit.  I opened the Find and Replace window but nothing showed up until I clicked on the SE main window.  There was a cursor in the Search For text area and I was able to type in it and hit Enter to perform the search or Esc to close the window, but the rest of the box didn't respond.  Clicking anywhere outside the window disabled the text area and I had to close the window by going into Options->Tool Windows and unclicking the Visible box.

To start the editor with a default configuration, from the shell:

Code: [Select]

{slickedit_install_dir}/vs +new -sc /tmp/defcon1
That tells SlickEdit to start a new instance and create a new configuration directory under /tmp.

I did not notice that you were using it on WSL.  That may be relevant.  You could also download the Qt5 version and see if that works better under WSL.

SlickEdit® / Re: Send Output to Editor Window for Build doesn't scoll build tool window

This is a limitation. We will try to improve this for v28.

SlickEdit® / Send Output to Editor Window for Build doesn't scoll build tool window

« Last post by rowbearto on March 20, 2023, 03:49:54 pm »

When I enabled "Send Output to Editor Window" in the build tool window, when I do a build the output in the build tool window doesn't automatically show the end of the output of the build. I see it in the editor window but shouldn't the build tool window also show the most recent output of the build and scroll by? It seems to be stuck at the top of the build.

I assume that starting the editor for the first time after installing starts with a default configuration.  If so, yes, it happens.

The Options dialog is unaffected, and I can move the window and change the options with no problem.  Toolbars work fine, as well as being able to move icons into and out of toolbars and setting up custom icons.  However, if a tool window is open (such as Find and Replace) while the Options window is open to the Toolbar Customization page, the tool window is still not responding, even after I hit Close.

I don't know if you noticed in the SlickEdit information, but I'm running SE on WSL2.
