When using GetGadgetItemText() to read a text line in a wrapped text block from an EditorGadget with flag #PB_Editor_WordWrap, in Linux (GTK2 and GTK3) the whole wrapped text block is returned in line 0 (in Windows it works as expected).

In Tricks 'n' Tips I have posted this cross-platform workaround.

Code: Select all

; PureBasic 6.20 Beta 4 (x64) - Linux
; gtk3: bug
; gtk2 and qt: no bug

#Window = 0
#EditorGadget = 0

If Not OpenWindow(#Window, 0, 0, 500, 500, "Test", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  Debug "Error: OpenWindow()"
  End
EndIf

; Without the flag '#PB_Editor_WordWrap', it works.
EditorGadget(#EditorGadget, 0, 0, WindowWidth(#Window), WindowHeight(#Window), #PB_Editor_WordWrap)
;EditorGadget(0, 0, 0, WindowWidth(0), WindowHeight(0))

AddGadgetItem(#EditorGadget, -1, "item text")

Debug CountGadgetItems(#EditorGadget) ; Returns: 9
Debug GetGadgetItemText(#EditorGadget, 0) ; Returns: i

Repeat
  event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

I have now tested it with the various packages for Linux.
