GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 735550
Custom color picker hangs
Last modified: 2018-05-22 14:12:59 UTC
I love visualizing data with gnumeric's charts. If I ask you nicely, will you please try to fix what Jean and I suspect is a bug? Here's how to reproduce it: 1.) Create an XYZ chart, 2.) right click on it, 3.) left click on Properties, 4.) left click on Color-Axis1 5.) left click on the "Colors" tab, 6.) left click on the "New" button, 7.) type "a" (without the quotes) in the Color map editor's "Name" field, 8.) type "0" (without the quotes) in the "Value" field, 9.) left click on the "Color" drop down menu, 10.) left click on "Custom color", I am unable to elicit a response from any button, slider or data entry field in the "Custom color..." dialog window. I expected to be able to pick a custom color, but the dialog is unresponsive. Jean said he reproduced it, and asked me to report this as a bug. Thanks for the otherwise great software, Kingsley
Confirmed. I can close the previous dialog, though. Re 1: the chart type to use is "Coloured XY".
The chart type can be any type using a color axis. Looks like this happens because I used gtk_dialog_run() for the color map editor.
It appears that it has nothing to see with gtk_dialog_run(). I have no idea why this dialog remains unresponsive.
Created attachment 284791 [details] [review] Proposed patch Looks like the custom color dialog needs to be modal in that circumstance.
Ugh.
