Cover editor text disappears and reappears

[Panagiotis Issaris]

Binary package hint: brasero

Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10

2.28.1-0ubuntu1

When using the cover editor for an audio CD, all tracks and a title are added to the cover template, but they are invisible (initially I thought nothing was added). Clicking on random locations makes the text on that location appear. By clicking in a regular downward pattern, you can make all text reappear. Scrolling down to the backside of the cover and back up to the frontcover, causes all text on the frontcover to disappear again.

I also tried using the cover editor for a plain data CD, and the same problem occurs. The covers for the data CD contain nothing, but adding text and scrolling down to the back cover, makes the front covers text invisible. Clicking at the location of the hidden text makes it reappear.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:
1. Is this reproducible?
2. If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug? Be as detailed as possible.
This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

[Christian Paratschek (christian-paratschek)]

Yes, this bug is reproducible. I get it on two seperate machines running Ubuntu 9.10.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Banshee
2. Select a few songs, right click, select "Burn CD" (or so, i have Ubuntu running in german)
3. Brasero opens now correctl< and displays the selected songs
4. Select "Tools" - "Cover Editor"
5. Now you get a mostly blank cover editor, you can only see the title "Music CD (6 Nov 09)" written upwards and downwards on the sides of the back cover.
6. Double-Click or hold the left mousebutton and select the area where the tracks should be and you'll see that the text is actually there!
6. However, this text disappears again as soon as you try to enter a letter or a insert a space. Interestingly, deleting or backspacing works, the text stays there.

Worked with Ubuntu 9.04, my g/f used it a number of times to burn CDs and print covers. Stopped working right after the upgrade to 9.10. On my machine, it does not work after a clean install of 9.10, so probably not an upgrade issue.

Kind regards,
Christian

It can also be reproduced when burning a normal data cd/dvd:

1) Open Brasero
2) Choose Data Project
3) Select Tools -> Cover Editor
4) Scroll down to the back, and add some text
5) Scroll up again, so that the text is "hidden" in the editor-window
6) Scroll down again, and see that the text has disappeared

The text gets visible again when you click on a text-line, or when you select text.

This happens with all the input-fields. The vertical title fields are not affected (probably because these are not input-fields), but the horizontal title field has the same problem as above.

Confirming.. This bug is certainly not incomplete, it's very reproducible. The cover editor text disappears and re-appears seemingly at random while editing. Selecting text makes it appear always. Very buggy.

[Øyvind Stegard (oyvindstegard)]

This bug is caused by new GTK+ client side windows in Karmic. If brasero is run with environment variable GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 ($ GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 brasero), the cover editor works properly when editing text.

This looks like it could be a suitable upstream bug to link to:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590648

[Øyvind Stegard (oyvindstegard)]

Still not working correctly in Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 (exactly the same problem).

[Uqbar (uqbar)]

As of brasero_2.30.0-0ubuntu1 (from proposed repository) the bug is still here.
Moreover, when trying to change the font name the size is reset to 10. When changing the size the font name is reset to the system standard.

[Uqbar (uqbar)]

Moreover, the tracklist is cut to fit the available room. I would expect either a font reduce or a 2-column schema.

[Øyvind Stegard (oyvindstegard)]

This bug has been fixed upstream in [currently unreleased] brasero 2.30.2. Ubuntu 10.04 currently has brasero 2.30.1, I think it should be updated in Ubuntu. The patch that fixes this specific problem is also back-portable to earlier brasero releases (according to upstream developer), including 2.30.1.

Accepted brasero into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
