El capitan public beta released today

[Shane Burrell (shaneb)]

This still appears to be broken. I also tried linking to current wxwidget from github. Same results.

[Garth Corral (gcorral)]

The description and the pastebin content in this bug both appear to be a red herrings. Neither have bearing on one another nor on the problem. This is reproducible on Adam's nightly builds and that does not exhibit a packaging issue nor the OpenCL issue.

I'll take a look.

[Garth Corral (gcorral)]

Well this is an unfortunate issue, but hopefully one that we won't need to worry about when 10.11 is released.

By that I mean that this appears to be a regression in OS X rather than an issue with wxWidgets or kicad. The issue is in our overlay patch for wxWidgets and appears to be caused by a change in behavior of NSWindow isVisible. On 10.11 this returns a true value if the window is ordered into the stack, regardless of whether it is actually on screen.

Things are muddied a bit by the fact that the documentation claims that isVisible is obsolete as of 10.9, which I don't thinks is actually the case. They appear to have added a property, visible, which depends on the existence of an isVisible getter. I'm going to say that this is a documentation issue. The question, I guess is whether this behavior change is intentional, and I've seen nothing to convince me that it is.

I have a patch that should work around the issue for 10.11, but it isn't something that should be applied to the tree at this point.

[Josh Marshall (josh-marshall)]

Agree with Garth, this happened with my build dating from March upon upgrade to OS X 10.11 beta, and still occurs with the latest nightly.

Garth, can you share that patch so those affected (me!) can compile a working version in the interim?

[Garth Corral (gcorral)]

I've attached a patch for wxWidgets that *should* get folks on the El Capitan beta going again. It must be applied *after* the other wxWidgets patches, specifically after wxwidgets-3.0.0_macosx.patch.

 This is an interim fix just for those folks. It should not be applied for other builds. In theory it should work on anything after 10.9 but it is not well tested (or at all, really).

[Garth Corral (gcorral)]

Ack! I've pulled the patch down as I noticed a regression in the overlay. I'll have to take a look at this some more when I get a few spare cycles.

[Garth Corral (gcorral)]

So it appears that occlusionState behaves differently between versions as well, indicating that the issue is somewhere deeper in NSWindow. I'll have to look more.

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

I will downgrade this bug because Garth has found the issue with this an a patch, and the fact that it is against a beta release OS, this should not be a blocker for a release of kicad.

@Garth, did you ever report an upstream bug against wx with this? If so, could you link it here for tracking?

[Garth Corral (gcorral)]

Not sure this should be downgraded just yet. It turns out that the issue is more involved that first thought. The patch I had does not resolve the issue completely as it appears to be in the image caching code rather than the window visibility (this is different as well but was misleading). I have filed an upstream bug but I'm unable to link it at this time.

[Shane Burrell (shaneb)]

Still an issue at El Capitan 10.11 Beta 4.

[Shane Burrell (shaneb)]

Still an issue at 10.11 Beta 5.

[Shane Burrell (shaneb)]

I'm sure this has been hashed out before but looking at overlay.mm it would seem that the flush is required per SDK docs. Its commented out. Also [m_overlayWindow] occlusionState] & NSWindowOcclusionStateVisible appears to be a replacement for isVisible (depreciated since 10.9) . I'll know in a bit if those changes affect anything. Is there a prior reason that the flush was commented out?

[Shane Burrell (shaneb)]

This seems to get the canvas working. Moving is an issue without refresh and zoom but I expect that may just be API changes. This is a replacement overlay.mm file that replaces wx-src/src/osx/cocoa/overlay.mm vs trying to patch over patch.

Would some of our osx devs test this to make sure it doesn't break any
existing osx behavior? I don't want to commit anything that breaks what
we already have working.

[Garth Corral (gcorral)]

It's not a partial fix. It doesn't fix anything and should not be applied.

[Shane Burrell (shaneb)]

This wasn't intended to go into release. It simply gets the canvas painting something useful in 10.11 vs nothing but gray. Sorry for any confusion.

No problem. Thanks for the update.

[bsmt (bsmt)]

The latest 10.11 beta update (El Capitan Developer Preview 6) fixes this for me.

[Shane Burrell (shaneb)]

Seems to be working in Beta 6.

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

Can this be marked as invalid now that it appears to be an OSX beta release issue?

[Shane Burrell (shaneb)]

I flipped to OSX 10.11 for about 5 hours of work yesterday in kicad
including eeschema and pcbnew with no issues on Beta 6. I feel its safe to
mark as invalid.

How did you get the Beta 6? I’m stuck in beta 3!

Did you pay for a complete developer account ?
(I only have an account as Safari Extension developer)

Best,
Marco

All sermos to be working ok on my Mac too

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

Marking as invalid since it appears the issue was due to a broken beta of OSX 10.11. Please reopen this bug report if the status of this changes in future betas or the stable release of OSX 10.11.
