Uable to put my mouse on the floating windows in Stardic

[nocrack]

Binary package hint: stardict

I've tried with stardict and stardict-gtk packages and there is the same problem.

when i underline a word to search it, i push a key to start search. a floating window it opens, but when i want to going on it with my mouse (to scroll down, by example), the window disappears.

Same is here.

When I try to move cursor to popup area with translation it jumps to (0,0) for a moment and disappears. The problem doesn't depend of usage modifier for scaning.

Ubuntu 7.10, stardict-3.0.0-1

[Jakson Alves de Aquino (jaksonaquino)]

Same problem here. It happens with gnome (with both metacity and compiz-fusion),
icewm and kde. I'm running gutsy on amd64.

[CheolHan Yoon (mait)]

I have exactly same problem.

When mouse over popup area, popup window jump to left-up side and disappeared.

ubuntu 7.10
stardict-3.0.0-1

[Kayra Akman (ckakman)]

Same problem. If the cursor remains, by chance, over the floating window, or if its size is large enough for this to happen, after it jumps to the upper left corner then the window doesn't disappear.

Same problem here on Gusty AMD 64.
And I confirm the observation of Kayra Akman.

[apetrenko (oipetrenko)]

I have similar problem with "GNOME stardict 3.0.0". My distributive ubuntu 7.10(2.6.22-14-generic)

[davidy (davidyang102)]

The problem is unaffected regardless if I use gnome or xfce4; xfwm4 or compiz;

[Sergey Rudchenko (sergey.rudchenko)]

The same on kubuntu i386

[Dmitriy Geels (dmig)]

This bug affects only 3.0 version. Also was reproducible on Feisty.
No debug output even when -g/--debug specified.

Author tells, that bug already fixed in 3.0.1 beta

I`ve got the same problems with stardict on gutsy(amd64)

What about upload 3.0.1 to gutsy repos ?

[Jakson Alves de Aquino (jaksonaquino)]

I downloaded the 3.0.0-3 source package (.orig.tar.gz, .dsc and .diff.gz) from http://packages.debian.org/sid/stardict , built the packages at Gutsy (amd64) and now I can use the float window. The last Debian package includes patches written by the upstream author of stardict before the release of 3.0.1.

[Andrew (at-macmillan)]

I'm using Gutsy and I downloaded the i386 package version 3.0.0-3 from the debian sid website provided above by Jakson Alves de Aquino. It had unmet dependencies so installed it ignoring the two unmet dependencies using this command:

sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=libpango1.0-0,stardict-common stardict_3.0.0-3_i386.deb

I can now use the floating window ok and all other functions of the program seem to be working ok too.

Warning: I am not an expert and don't know if ignoring these unmet dependencies will cause the program to exhibit other bugs down the road. It doesn't so far on my system.

Hope this helps others who are trying to avoid compiling from source like I was.

[Andrew (at-macmillan)]

Sorry folks, I would delete my last message if I could but I can't see a way. Turns out that if you do what I said then stardict works fine but you can't use apt anymore because it detects the unmet dependencies when it builds the dependency tree each time you try to use apt.

So, if you followed my previous advice, just uninstall stardict to get apt working again:

sudo apt-get remove stardict

[Jakson Alves de Aquino (jaksonaquino)]

Andrew, Debian unstable is constantly updated, and the packages there depend on versions of other packages newer than the versions that we can find in any stable distribution. We have to backport the package from Debian Unstable to Ubuntu Gutsy. I wrote a recipe on how to do this: http://jalvesaq.googlepages.com/backport.html

[Andrew (at-macmillan)]

It's probably a total hack and I don't recommend it to anyone, but what I finally ended up doing was just installing the updated i386 stardict version 3.0.0-3 ignoring the two unmet dependencies like I described in the command above. This fixes stardict but then apt reports unmet dependencies for two packages each time you run it as I also reported above.

To fix apt so it stops unnecessarily detecting these unmet dependencies, I manually edited /var/lib/dpkg/status to change the dependencies for stardict so that it doesn't depend on the newer versions for these two packages. :) haha. Both stardict and apt are ok on my system. As far as apt is concerned, it doesn't even know stardict depends on newer versions of those two packages so it continues to run fine. And stardict appears to work with the old versions.

Again, I am not sure if this is a "proper" fix or not. At best it's just a temporary solution until someone backports stardict into the repos.
