Re: [Pythondialog-users] Using the buildlist and selecting the right order

[Florent R. <f.r...@fr...>]

Hi,

Sorry, not much time...

Your problem seems to be dialog-related: pythondialog doesn't control
what happens inside the widget, it justs starts it, retrieves the
results and presents them in a way that is nice for Python code.

3.5 is maybe your Python version, but this can't be pythondialog (latest
is 3.4.0).

dialog 1.3-20160828 on Debian unstable seems rather broken to me: the
pythondialog demo which passes perfectly with dialog 1.2-20150513, fails
with 1.3-20160828 when using --menu (the dialog error message seems
quite wrong), and even if I comment this, it fails later with
--radiolist (same kind of... weird message). Without digging further,
I consider this version (dialog 1.3-20160828) too buggy to be usable.

I've also been very disappointed by the changes in dialog from
2016/04/24 which, AFAICS, make it again impossible to have reliable
arbitrary string handling, just for the sake of color \Z escapes, which
I consider much less important than reliable string handling.

With dialog 1.2-20150513 (a usable version), only Enter seems to select
elements in --buildlist, and the order seems to be the same for selected
items as they had on the left (i.e., as you said, except I don't manage
to select anything with arrows).
