PB v6.30b2 + RPi - Oddities when compiling the IDE with Wayland support

Post by PeDe »

Here are a few things I noticed when the IDE was compiled with the compiler option ‘Enable Wayland support’. This may also affect your own programs.


When the code editor has focus, you cannot switch to other programs using 'Alt+Tab'. When you release the keys, the PureBasic IDE regains focus. However, it works if, for example, the project tab has focus.


Self-created shortcuts do not work. For example, ‘Ctrl+F5’ for 'Syntax check', only ‘F5’ is recognized. Also 'Ctrl+F2' for 'Add/Remove Marker' do not work. Perhaps this only affects the function keys F1, etc., 'Ctrl+S' for file save does work.


Crash when submenus are empty, e.g., in ‘Compiler -> Set default Target’ when no project is loaded.

With X11, the program icon is displayed in the taskbar without having to create a ‘.desktop’ file or do anything similar. With Wayland, only a standard icon is displayed.


The ‘Stay on top’ option in the tool windows does not work.

Windows are always displayed centered and do not remember their position.

The icon on the project panel has a blue background.
