[Gramps-devel] TreeView and gail/gir/atk under GNOME desktop

[jerome <rom...@ya...>]

Hi,


Since many months/years, one issue remains with TreeView into Gramps and some Gnome bindings (accessibilty, atk, gail, gir, gtk).

The problem occurs when the user enables the accessibilty support under GNOME desktop. 

ex: 823956: ERROR: gramps.py: line 142: Unhandled exception
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/gramps/gui/views/treemodels/treebasemodel.py", line 814, in on_get_iter
    node = self.nodemap.node(node.children[_index][1])

http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=5078

OK, happy to know that iteration on TreeView under Gnome might crash
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587020
but what could be done on the Gramps side ?

1. all related bugs on manthis bug tracker have been already commented and I suppose they could be closed.
2. comment has been added on the wiki since a while, but users do not always know if accessibility support is enable on their Gnome desktop. Annoying!

Should we try to find a way for displaying some warning on the gramps session ? like spell checker or additional dependencies for users under Gnome.

Jérôme
