[1.1.0] Linux: IDE: Pattern Settings window fails to appear

[Ben Stanley]

Sikuli version 1.1.0-beta4 nightly 2014-07-22

Operating System Ubuntu 14.04 amd64

I am having trouble with the "Pattern Settings" window which is supposed to appear when the user clicks on an image embedded in the script editor.

The first few times I use the Pattern Settings, it works OK. However, after a few times, I find that the "Pattern Settings" window fails to appear. I am then forced to quit Sikuli and re-start it, and then it works a few more times before failing again.

I tried running
runsikuli -d 4
to get some debugging information, but then I found that the Sikuli window failed to appear.

The pattern settings window once opened is reused with subsequent clicks on thumbnails.
It stays open until closed.

On Linux (Ubuntu 14.04) it seems, that it might not come to foreground (as on Windows and Mac) when reused.
So it might be hidden behind Sikuli IDE's main window, if it stays open and the main window is brought to foreground.

please check.

using
./runsikulix -d 4

I had no problems on Ubuntu 14.04 using this.

BTW:
./runsikulix -d 3 -c

is a better choice for more debugging info.
-d 3 is sufficient in all cases, where a user tries to dive into problem situation
-c directs the output to the terminal window, so it is easier to read and might be pied to a file

./runsikulix -d 3 -c >debuglog.txt

The problem persists for me. The "Pattern Settings" window stops appearing after a few uses (sometimes after 0 uses). I have checked the windows in the dock, and there are no extra windows to be found there, or hiding behind other windows.

The problem was resolved by logging out and back in again. Perhaps a problem with the window manager.
