[0.5, winxp] - Couldn't retrieve information about list control -1

[Karel Kolman]

Running on windows xp, python 2.6, wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.9.2-py26

When switching to an account that has no transactions assigned, an error dialog reading "Python error, Couldn't retrieve information about list control -1" pops up. (also happens after the application is started when no account exists or the first account has no transactions).

The error is linked to "ensureVisible(-1)" calls in transactionolv.py and managetab.py (doesn't happen after these are commented out from the source code)

Interesting, this only happens on Windows? Thanks for testing and filing this by the way!

[Karel Kolman (kolmis)]

yep, windows only, tested on two systems, one with wx2.8.9.2 the other 2.8.9.1.

[Michael Rooney (mrooney)]

Yes I suppose GTK is just more tolerant, allowing -1 when the list is empty. Should be fixed now. I attempted to test but my XP VM is fighting with me over bzr and ssh.

[Michael Rooney (mrooney)]

Can you confirm or deny the fix? I'll try to test it tomorrow before and after. Thanks for the report!

[Karel Kolman (kolmis)]

Yes, that latest commit fixes the error. (There are other issues with the windows version though, i'll file a new issue)

[Michael Rooney (mrooney)]

Okay, I confirmed the error on my VM and then that the fix worked.
