In the current development version of pycam, when configuring a task, the 'Collision models' box does not appear correctly. I can see a narrow line where I assume there should be a box with the currently available models listed. If I click inside of this line I can select a collision model and use it, but I can't see what I have selected. The following image is a screen shot of the issue. My OS is 64-bit Ubuntu 13.04. Let me know if there is any other information you need from me to help fix the bug.
Hi,
I also experienced this issue in Ubuntu 12.04, but found a way to fix it:
in pycam/Plugins/TaskParameters.py, line 37, change the requested size of the widget to something like this:
self.control.get_widget().set_size_request(240, 120)
instead of the current value
self.control.get_widget().set_size_request(240, -1)
This should show the widget with a proper size, at least for me!
