[Rosegarden-devel] matrix painter problem

[Chris C. <ca...@al...>]

I was just tidying up the view-element reference count thing,
and as part of that work I removed the declaration of friendship
between ViewElement and Event.  Unfortunately that broke
ViewElement, which was accidentally exploiting the friendship to
provide setAbsoluteTime and setDuration methods, which are not
supposed to be part of the Event API any more.

So I removed setAbsoluteTime and setDuration from ViewElement,
and that broke MatrixPainter, which used setDuration for the
resizing capability.  Lots of tools originally used the methods,
but most of them had already been updated because they were
calling the methods directly on Event; not much code ever used
the ViewElement versions, so I didn't notice the code that did.
And the MatrixResizer never used either of the methods, it's
just the painter.

Anyway, I've had a go at fixing MatrixPainter but I got a bit
bogged down, and am currently in a situation where you can draw
the notes fine but most of the note's duration disappears when
you release the mouse button.  I really haven't the energy to
investigate this now, and I have a load more stuff to commit,
so I'm going to commit it in this non-working state anyway.  I
will look at it another day and fix it, but I'd be very
grateful if I didn't have to because someone else happened to
get there first.  Guillaume?
