Hmm, Google has just told me that GTK2 doesn't support Wayland so forget my suggestion to try it! I'll have to figure out how to move Golly to GTK3.
-
You're building Golly with GTK3? Our build docs say to use GTK2 so I'm wondering if that explains the problems with the Prefs dialog and the Help window. Are you able to rebuild wxGTK (and thus Golly) with GTK2? You'd probably need to install the GTK2 libs via "sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev" or however wayland does it, and then run wxGTK's "../configure --with-gtk=2 etc...". I'd like to move to GTK3 but when I've tried that on my Mint 20 system I end up with a Golly that won't even start up...

All other dialogs work fine. There's a remaining issue: The Help subwindows cannot display under wayland. This seems to be a compatible issue with GTK3+wayland, and I can't find a good way to solve that.

There are quite a few modal dialogs in Golly: Set Generation, Set Base Step, Set Rule in the Control menu, and Name Layer, Set Layer Colors in the Layer menu. Do you see any problems with those dialogs?
-
Thanks for the question. To be honest these fixes are all done by copilot with GPT-5.4-xhigh, and I just tested it to see if the desired behavior is achieved. These are the two issues that troubled me for a long time, and I happened to decide to get it fixed by myself, with the help of the coding agents. I am not a professional programmer. (I know some coding, though, but not familiar with the C gui, GTK, etc.). I tried my best to keep the code change narrow, and make sure that I don't break anything...

Hi! Much thanks for making those GTK improvements to Golly. I'm happy to include the fix for the dark-theme colors but I have a question about the changes to the Prefs dialog. In wxprefs.cpp I see that you have deleted most of the calls to SetFocus and SetSelection(ALL_TEXT). Were those calls causing problems with GTK? Or is it considered non standard on Linux to automatically select editable text in a modal dialog?

I tried running for about 6 hours but I couldn't reproduce the failure. Is it possible that the bug is caused by bad hardware? Can you try running a tool like memtest86+ for several hours, and see if it finds any errors? I think there are two reasons to suspect this: The invalid address 0x4000000000 happens to be a null pointer with a single bit flipped. This looks like a symptom of faulty memory, rather than a typical memory error like use-after-free. When you ran the unoptimized binary, the error...

That means there is no known .rule file for the rule specified in your clipboard. If you tell us what that rule is then we might be able to help. Or post the clipboard data here.
