GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 533481
key release event does not work properly
Last modified: 2008-06-09 08:00:33 UTC
The signal for Gtk::Widget::signal_key_release_event() is emitted immediately after the key press occurs, not when the key is actually released. If a key is held down, then the signals for Gtk::Widget::signal_key_press_event() and Gtk::Widget::signal_key_release_event() are alternatingly emitted continuously.
This sounds very strange. How was your version of gtkmm installed? I'm inclined to think that this is an installation issue on your end since we'd have heard of it long before now if it was happening to other people. Also, what version of gtkmm are you really using? You filed it against 2.4, but there's a difference between the API version (current API is 2.4) and release version (current release is 2.12.x). If you are actually using version 2.4, that is *very* old, so I would suggest upgrading if possible.
The important question is What distro is this?
hey, sorry for the slow reply. i am using libgtkmm-2.4.so.1, so i guess that is a very old version. i haven't had a chance to install and try out the new version, but if and when i do, and i still have the problem, i'll let you know. also, i may just be setting up the signals incorrectly or something. i'll send a message to mailing list about how to do it.
That is the API version, not the release version. To find your release version, run `pkg-config --modversion gtkmm-2.4`
You still haven't said what distro you are using, or told us what version of gtkmm you really have installed (see comment #4). Please reply.
hey sorry, i was unable to 'save changes' -- i kept getting a timeout error. but, when i ran the `pkg-config --modversion gtkmm-2.4` cmd, i got an error about it not knowing what gtkmm-2.4 is. i am currently on leave from my job, and i can't really do much to make progress on this bug. but, i am like 90% certain that i was using an old version of gtkmm.
Closing as invalid because the reporter can't provide the necessary information.
