Wrong keycode retrieve recursive error

[David Ribeiro]

- In "Button properties" tab, select any button.
- Set the "Event Type" as "Key combination".
- Set the "Keycode" manually with a wrong keycode (example: select the NONE value and replace by f).
- Change the focus and an error is retrieved
Console message:

/usr/share/btnx-config/btnx-config.glade
Warning: dialog_btnd_empty_store could not get an iter.
Warning: tree_config_find_iter could not match name.
Warning: keycodes_get_index could not find keycode: f

- If the Close button is pressed in the error dialog it will come back. It should select the value inserted or change to the previous value.

Console message:

(btnx-config:17626): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkEntry - did not receive focus-out-event. If you
connect a handler to this signal, it must return
FALSE so the entry gets the event as well
Error: no keycode by that name exists.
Warning: keycodes_get_index could not find keycode: f
Warning: keycodes_get_index could not find keycode: f

Only way to get out is to kill btnx-config and configuration lost

I have heard mention of this bug before. Like before, I'm unable to reproduce the recursive error.
On my system, btnx-config shows the error dialog, then does like you suggested: it highlights the erroneous value. This stops the error from continuing.
What version of gtk and glib do you have?

I admit the keycode entry is not ideal, and will probably be reimplemented with the btnx-config C++ rewrite, which is under way.

Hi,

These are the versions:

> pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0
2.12.0
> pkg-config --modversion libglade-2.0
2.6.2

I hope this is useful. But if you need assistance in terms of debugging I can help.
I just need some guidance in turning on the debug mode. :)

Oops wrong package...
Here is the one asked:
> pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0
2.14.1

[Olli Salonen (daou)]

Seeing that the bug occurs on newer versions of glib and gtk+-2.0, I consider it a bug.
I won't be publishing a fix to the current branch of btnx-config. The fix will be incorporated to the C++ version of btnx-config.

Thanks for reporting the bug, David.

The same problem with 0.4.6 built on Ubuntu 7.10:

(btnx-config:21643): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkEntry - did not receive focus-out-event. If you
connect a handler to this signal, it must return
FALSE so the entry gets the event as well

I have the same problem, too. Using 0.4.9 on Ubuntu 8.04

So btnx is unusable for now.
