For better fault isolation it should be mentioned that
FontName$ = "TimesNewRoman" or
FontName$ = "Times"
can be found better.
However,
FontName$ = "Source Code Pro" as .ttf
(with spaces in the name) is set correctly.

Today I can confirm this behaviour. Got the same problem now.

Apparently the shortened expression "Times" instead of "Times New Roman" is better recognized in Linux (or PB?).

ps:
Maybe a problem with spaces, because "TimesNewRoman" also works better than "Times New Roman"!

Works perfectly here with the fonts from fonts-liberation package.
But your call is not correct.
Try it like this (and read the help please ) ...

Hi stevie,

it has to do with the TabBarGadget.

I tried a hardcore fix in the published 5.70 IDE sources.
The survival time now is much better but the font in the Tabs is locked now and will not be updated when the setting is changed, so ...

Some further incompatibilities of the subsystem qt compared to Gtk2, Gtk3 and Windows .

On my main system (Xubuntu 18.04, x64), the command GetActiveWindow() will always return -1, even if I use SetActiveWindow(#Window) .

If I use SetActiveWindow(#Window) before, minimizing the window with ...

Thank you Justin,

also an unconventional solution, but seems to be working.

Attention: Not very well tested. This means that the method is not bulletproof.

The ComboBox is unfortunately the worst gadget in Gtk3.
The only method I found to eliminate the dynamic width is to set the editable flag and block the effect of this flag via API.

My Linux-Api-Lib code for the issue ...

Hi!
Concerning all PB-Versions with qt-Subsystem ...

I know it's not a documented behavior and a general incompatibility with Windows (but a good thing for Linux :wink: ).
But since the behavior within qt commands, and also to the gtk differs I would like to mention it here ...

In Linux you always ...

It is the only gap that prevents e.g. the complete sortability of a ListIconGadget!

Thanks all.
Under Linux it should work even from Gtk2.18.
I just tested it on Gtk2.24.32.

Hi!
The headline is a bit misleading, but you can find some frequently used cross-platform routines here ... viewtopic.php?f=19&t=43583&start=11

Does b$="[^aeio][aeiou]r$" do what you want?

because [^aeio] also matches c,
because [aeiou] matches o,
because r matches r,
And where is the string 'cor' contained

Thanks so far.

Yesterday I played with the ComboBoxGadget. I haven't made a breakthrough yet.
Above all, I didn't get access to the text color in the ComboBox yet.
However, PB's SetGadgetColor() for the ComboBoxGadget is not defined at the moment!
If I get the aggressiveness again, I'll try again ...

The ComboBoxGadget can be a complicated construction. I'll try my luck with it the next few days.
