Re: [Boa Constr] Boa 0.6.1 (cvs)- Ubuntu 10.10

[Barton <ba...@BC...>]

Hello Werner,
Sorry for the confusion from my "English"...
"Just OK" means that there are still many issues to resolve.

I now have many changes, with more to come, to make Boa work properly on 
the Gnome 3 desktop wxPython 2.8.12.

I have successfully installed the wxPythonDemo plug-in on Ubuntu. I can 
provide instruction if need be.

The things that I have found related to you post:
1) The error that you attached has only to do with the Editor (not just 
the demo). It happens only some of the time. I am looking for the bug.
2) Building 2.8.12 against GTK 2.24.4 may have fixed many issues. e.g. 
"d" to move to the entries starting with "d" DOES work for me.
3) StyleTextControl works much better under wx 2.9.
4) Inspector panel works much better under wx 2.9, but is still not 
great. Some issue that I see on Gnome I have also seen on Windows.  It 
is my next big fix for 2.8.

I will submit patches to the list when preliminary Windows testing of 
changes pass.

Thank you for all your dedication to this project!!!
