Description Adam Dingle 2006-09-28 14:19:57 UTC
When I'm debugging a program in Anjuta, if I right click in the Memory view and choose "Goto address", Anjuta prompts me for an address using a floating entry box in the lower right hand corner of the Memory area.  The box is hard to notice, especially since Anjuta doesn't display an edit cursor in the box.  In fact, the first time I tried this, I didn't see the entry box, and I assumed Anjuta had hung.

We should do one of the following:

a) Make the box much easier to see.  gedit uses a floating entry box in its Search / Go to Line command and it's easy to see because the box is displayed in the upper left hand corner of the window, and contains an icon, and contains an edit cursor; we could do the same.

b) Display a good old dialog box where the user can enter the address.

Either of these would be fine with me.

Yes, I think I remember that I have done it like this because I haven't found an easy way to change the focus !

Thanks for telling me about gedit, I will probably just copy the code from it.

This should be fixed in the latest version on CVS. I have used exactly the same widget used in gedit (your first choice).
