GTKSpinScale and tag filter entry widgets: entries disappear in some locales
Last modified: 2012-11-09 09:40:08 UTC
Created attachment 212293 [details] screenshot When a slider widget first appears, it works fine. But if it was hidden by switching to another tab or closing the dropdown menu(like Dynamics Options), and is showed again by tab switching or reopening the dropdown menu, the text and number on it disappear, now I can only adjust its value by clicking the arrow buttons beside it, and other methods(dragging, enter the number, etc.) don't work. The sliders work again if I detach the tab as a floating window. GIMP version is installer from http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/. 2.7.5 and 2.8RC1 have this problem, but 2.7.4 works fine. Tested on Windows XP 32 bit and Windows 7 64 bit. Both have the same result.
The problem in your screenshow also affect plain GtkEntry, the slider is an entry subclass. Can anyone reproduce this? Works just fine on X11.
I can't reproduce it here with Windows 7 64bit and GIMP 2.8.0-RC1. Perhaps I'm doing something different, could you perhaps record a video?
I found it! Both computers I tested have an environment variable "LANG=zh_tw", which was used to display Chinese in GIMP 2.6. When I remove it and start GIMP 2.8RC1, slider and entry widgets work fine. Simply add environment variable LANG=zh_tw, ja etc. to reproduce this problem.
Above is tested on Windows 7. On Windows XP even removing LANG can't avoid this problem. I must set LANG=en, en_us or en_uk before starting GIMP to fix it. My Windows system language is traditional Chinese. The Language Setting in GIMP's Edit->Preferences->Interface doesn't affect wheather this problem occurs. Only the LANG environment variable takes effect.

I was recording. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeuU_4dRUUY Was recorded on WindowsXP SP3 32bit Japanese Ver. Works the same on Windows 7 Pro. 64bit Japanese Ver.
Confirming according to comment #6.

Confirming this for GIMP 2.8.2 on Win 7. It seems to be Windows specific, as I couldn't reproduce this on Mac. I reproduced with languages zh_tw and ja_JP. Both the number in the slider and the text item in the tag filter disappeared.
