[Pythoncard-users] life.py bug and fix

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

I'm not going to put out a 0.7.3.1 release for a bug in one of the=20
samples, so I'm just going to document the problem and fix here for=20
anyone that cares. The bug is already fixed in cvs.

If you're running a version of wxPython prior to 2.5.x then line 99=20
won't work:

                 oldSize =3D self.size

that should be

                 oldSize =3D self.getSize()
=00
=00In addition, Rowland Smith has found that on Linux with wxPython=20
2.4.2.4 the size event is not firing before the idle event. That's=20
actually a wxPython bug as far as I'm concerned (Windows and Mac OS X=20
don't have this problem), but I don't know yet whether this bug exists=20=

in wxPython 2.5.1.5 on Linux. The fix is to add

         self.resizing =3D 0

to the beginning of the on_openBackground handler.

Since nobody on Linux has ever reported this problem before I'll just=20
assume that people running Linux never tried the sample or had low=20
expectations <wink>
