Hello,

I've done a copy of firtstep/01 sample, I've begin to modifiy it to see
how disko works: I've placed a vertical box to the window and two labels
in the vertical box. From the main thread, every 5 seconds It was setting
the second label visible and not, alternativelly.

- To see the changes in the configuration of the labels, it was needed
to call window::refresh(). Why is it needed if the widgets has a pointer
to window? The call to window::refresh() is not nedded when changing the
text of the label.

- Vertical box allways sets the same space to its widgets. It's is
expected to implement other policies: only set space to visible
widgets,...

(see attached file)

Also, I've detected that running the applications on X11, and moving the
mouse from disko window to another window, some times a copy of the
mouse pointer is shown in the disko window.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Joaquim Duran

See the source code of the program.

Hi Joaquim,

the setText() and setVisible() methods along with many others have a Parameter bool refresh. This parameter has the default value false. If you call setVisible(true) or setText("text",true) you should instantly see the changes.

We have done this concept of refresh, to enable the developer to stack some actions and then to use the window->refreh() to make them visible.

Stefan,

Sorry, but de refresh parametrs defaults to true, almost in disko 1.5.0. From source code:

virtual void setVisible(bool visible, bool refresh = true);
void setText(string text, bool refresh = true);

IMO, I think that in setVisible, a call to redraw or something similar is missing.

Hi Joaquim,

yes you are right, I mixed that up. All in all, that seems to be a bug there. You are using disko-1.5.0? Could you retest your program using the latest version from git, if you haven't already?

kind regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Updating to the lastest version from git, doesn't fix the problem.
