RTFMessage :-)

Nobody has moved the windows build to a newer version of GTK, so that the oldest supported GTK can be upgraded to the one that supports the non-intrustive notifications. Nobody wants to do the alternative with lots of #ifdefs for one version of GTK.

Oh, as a side note, I thought when I type a number and hit enter on the GOTO field on the toolbar, it would go to the entered line, but it's not. I have to manually hit the Jump To button. I don't see a bug for it on sourceforge, so I guess I'll report it.

Works for me on it version, which are you using?

Cheers Lex

Thanks,

I'll close the bug.  See below, but the short version is I can't reproduce the issue now.

About Git reports 1.24 (git >= f81bf99)

It should be the latest in master.  I compiled it today :-)

Here is the bug I reported: https://sourceforge.net/p/geany/bugs/984/ I tried disabling all of my plugins and enabling them one at a time, wondering if maybe one of the plugins was causing the bug.  However, after re-enabling all of the plugins, I can't reproduce the issue now, so I'll close the bug for now.  Sorry, I don't know what could be different.

Thanks,

Steve

PS

Also, as a slightly related side note, I just made a plugin in my geany-plugins repo that is related called quick-line: https://github.com/sblatnick/geany-plugins/tree/quick-line Please note that I made this plugin after getting the above bug, so the code couldn't possibly be related to the bug.  I assure you, I didn't make the email about a bug to advertise a new plugin.  I made the plugin because I wanted it and the bug I ran into gave me the extra push to go ahead and make it.

The advantage of the plugin is that you don't use toolbar space and it just comes up when needed in an unintrusive little floating window.  It works like my quick-search plugin.

Make my last *Git* version :)

We need to make windows builds using a version of GTK newer than 2.16 so we can advance the oldest version we support. But the situation is that the GTK project has few resources for windows problems, and general responses on the GTK MLs have indicated that after version 2.16 there were various problems up until 2.24 when some more resources have resulted in an acknowledged better release. So given the large jump in versions, a build on windows using this later release should be made and tested a bit before it becomes the "official" version. Note Geany uses 2.24 no problems on Linux, but that unfortunately doesn't guarantee no windows problems.

I can't tell you what is actually involved in making the build system change for windows, but as I said it needs to be tested first. Note that for windows there are versions that include GTK with Geany to ensure that the correct version is available and used, the build system for these also needs updating.

Personally, I think making this switch would be awesome. What would we have to do to get it in a future release? It sounds like we just need to have some Windows users do some regression smoke testing on that branch using the other dialogs (what was that branch again...) and compiled to the newer GTK version? Unfortunately for this process, I don't use windows anymore.

I use Geany on Windows (when I have to...) with 2.24 just fine.
