Ubuntu 18.10 drops support for GTK2

Hello!

The "sublibrary GTK2" no longer works on 18.10 (the executables don't run).

And 5.70 beta 2 has issues with buttons and string gadgets that don't happen with 18.04 (they become big).

Where do you have this information from? :shock:

Really not supported anymore or just not installed by default? (I'm still on 18.04)

I mean there are still some applications out there which were never updated to GTK+3 (which is damn painful in some cases and as long as it works...

)

Gtk 2 (and PureBasic) works fine under Ubuntu 18.10.
You have to install many libraries, because it is not standard.
