#38850 closed defect (fixed)

wxWidgets 2.9: broken support for dead keys (in wxmaxima)

Reported by: mkae (Marko Käning) Owned by: mojca (Mojca Miklavec)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: usami-k@…, cooljeanius (Eric Gallager), jyrkiwahlstedt
Port: wxMaxima, wxWidgets-3.0

Description (last modified by mojca (Mojca Miklavec))

I have these ports installed 

$ port installed wx*
The following ports are currently installed:
  wxMaxima @12.01.0_0 (active)
  wxMaxima @12.01.0_0+wxwidgets_devel
  wxWidgets @2.8.12_3 (active)
  wxWidgets-devel @2.9.4_4+sdl

Turns out that wxmaxima with wxwidgets works fine, but when trying to run the combination wxmaxima+wxwidgets_devel with wxwidgets-devel I can't enter the caret-character which I need if I want to specify the power in an equation.

What's going on here?

Tested on Snow Leopard.

I tried compiling with wxwidgets30 which is now at version 2.9.5 and expressions like 2^3 works. Does the latest version of wxWidgets solve the problem or am I just unable to reproduce it (I'm on 10.7)?

I've this installed 

$ port installed wxMaxima gnuplot wxWidgets*
The following ports are currently installed:
  gnuplot @4.6.3_1+aquaterm+luaterm+pangocairo+wxwidgets_devel+x11 (active)
  wxMaxima @12.01.0_1+wxwidgets_devel (active)
  wxWidgets-devel @2.9.5_0+sdl (active)

but still I cannot enter the ^-operator!

comment:4 Changed 11 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

After having heavily cleaned up my installation due to tons of universal installs I finally installed this: 

$ port installed wx*
The following ports are currently installed:
  wxMaxima @12.01.0_1+wxwidgets30 (active)
  wxWidgets30 @2.9.5_0+sdl (active)

but unfortunately to no avail!

In wxMaxima's GUI I cannot enter the hat symbol using the keyboard.

What I CAN do is to copy and paste the symbol e.g. from a terminal window into wxMaxima... This cannot be called a decent solution, though. :-(

comment:5 Changed 11 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

I think I can reproduce it now, but only on a foreign keyboard where alt-gr (left alt key, not sure how it's called in the apple world) is needed to access the key. It works ok on the US or Dvorak keyboard where it's accessible with shift+6. If I try alt-gr+I on that particular foreign keyboard, I get the text magnified instead of the desired character. In other (including native) software this is a combining character (if followed by a character that doesn't make sense, it generated ^, else it generates a letter like âêîôû...). In wxWidgets the key seems to behave like a normal alt and that seems to be a problem. It's also possible that wxMaxima doesn't initialize something properly, but that's hard to say. I suggest filing an upstream bug report. A few related tickets (all closed):

... oh, I just found a recent ticket with a patch:

Volunteers to test are welcome ;)

I see. Yes, I do use a non-iMac keyboard here, it's a M$ ergonomic keyboard.

Thanks for looking into this, Mojca! (I'll try to incorporate said patch.)

comment:7 Changed 11 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

OK, I have rebuilt wxWidgets30 with said patch and now wxMaxima accepts the hat character! :-)

I'll attach the Portfile diff and the modified patch so that you can quickly update the port.

Thank you. Is the revision increase really needed if epoch gets increased?

comment:9 in reply to:  8 Changed 11 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

Replying to mojca@…:

Is the revision increase really needed if epoch gets increased?

I had only increased the epoch - also assuming that this would be enough - but as you can see here:

The following ports are currently installed:
  wxWidgets30 @2.9.5_0+sdl (active)

after the build port wouldn't destroot and install it.

So I decided to increase the revision.

I did not reinstall wxMaxima, i.e. its revbump might not have been necessary.

Does the upgrade actually work without increasing the revision on your end?

comment:12 Changed 11 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

I'll test again now, but I had to fix my dumb mistakes first.

I screwed up all the commits anyway. I'm ashamed to death (the problem is that compilation actually worked when I tested and because my local machine takes waaaaaaaaay too long, I logged in to another faster machine via ssh when testing and fetched the wrong file). After the faulty commits I had to increase the revision anyway.

comment:13 Changed 11 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

Unfortunately wxmaxima is unstable now.

I created a function f(x):=x^3+x^2+1, went into menu "Calculus/Differentiate..." and when trying to enter for Expression f(x) the app crashed when typing the opening round bracket (:

I did not try to reproduce this with the original (unpatched) version of wxmaxima.

Guess this needs to be posted upstream.

Trying to enter the formula in "xmaxima" instead I was unable to execute the assignment neither with SHIFT+ENTER nor ALT+ENTER etc...

When I desperately clicked on the magnifying symbol it lead to this crash:

Apropos wxMaxima:

Replying to mk@…:

I created a function f(x):=x^3+x^2+1...

When I try this without using the menu by typing the diff()-command in the wxMaxima-console it works successfully: 

(%i1)  f(x):=x^3+x^2+1;
(%o1)  f(x):=x^3+x^2+1

(%i2)  diff(f(x),x);
(%o2)  3*x^2+2*x

I'm really really sorry. I should have left more time for testing ... but now it is what it is. From what I understand it would be desirable to roll back the commit, but I'm leaving very soon and I don't want to do another batch of stupid commits just before being cut off internet access for a few days. If you feel that the patch does more harm than good, please roll it back and also provide feedback to the wxWidgets community.

comment:17 Changed 11 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

I cannot manage reporting upstream right now myself, but I'll do it as soon as I can within the next two weeks.

If someone else manages it earlier please go ahead and leave a message in this ticket.

Description: modified (diff)
Summary: In wxmaxima with wxwidgets-devel the ^-operator not usable → wxWidgets 2.9: broken support for dead keys (in wxmaxima)
Version: 2.1.3

comment:19 Changed 11 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

I reverted the patch now. Let's wait for a better patch then, hopefully before 3.0.

comment:21 Changed 11 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

The wxWidgets developers requested more information about the crash. Is someone willing to contact the wxMaxima developers or willing to provide more information in one way or the other?

It would be nice to resolve this problem before the wxWidgets 3.0 release.

comment:22 Changed 11 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

Port: wxMaxima wxWidgets-3.0 added; wxmaxima wxwidgets-devel wxwidgets30 removed

comment:23 Changed 11 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

So ... can you please provide more feedback about the crashes? It seems to me that once for a change the wxWidgets developers are actively working on tickets to get the 3.0 release out and I promise not to apply any patches for downgrades to prevent the crashes once the release gets out ;)

comment:24 Changed 11 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

Here is what I have installed at this moment in time: 

$ port installed wx*
The following ports are currently installed:
  wxMaxima @12.01.0_2+wxwidgets30
  wxMaxima @12.01.0_3 (active)
  wxWidgets-3.0 @2.9.5_1 (active)
  wxWidgets30 @2.9.5_0+sdl
  wxWidgets30 @2.9.5_1+sdl
  wxWidgets30 @2.9.5_2+sdl (active)
  wxWidgets_select @1.0_0 (active)

When I now enter this function: 

f(x) := 2*x+1;

and choose "Calculate/Differentiate" from the menu I enter the "Differentiate" dialog.

If I now enter "f(" (i.e. the funtion f with its opening bracket) in the Expression edit field the application crashes with the attached crashlog.

This has nothing to do with the hat operator, but it seems to be related. Let me know how I can help you to get to the bottom of all of this.

Please post this and/or further information to ​http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/15345 where they changed the status of the ticket from accepted to infoneeded.

comment:26 in reply to:  25 Changed 11 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

Replying to mojca@…:

Please post this ...

Hi Mojca - as requested - I've posted this issue upstream and got a ​reply from csomor who asked whether I could supply a simple minimal test program. Unfortunately I can't, because I just stumbled over this problem in wxMaxima and I never programmed anything using this framework, but perhaps you, Mojca, could help out to here and create such a little app demonstrating the issue? Greets, Marko

Someone should test whether ​http://trac.wxwidgets.org/changeset/74945 solves the problem.

Mojca, please note my comment ​http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/15345#comment:35 -> I wasn't able to get a patch for 2.9.5 from that revision alone.

comment:30 Changed 11 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

See the attachment to wxPython ticket. I uploaded the patch there.

comment:31 Changed 11 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

Ah, okay, in #40727, I see.

comment:32 Changed 11 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

I also suggest to fix livecheck for maxima and upgrade it (#39998) to the latest version with maintainer timeout.

comment:33 Changed 11 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

I already committed the change. Can you please test if it works now as expected, so that the bug could be closed?

comment:34 Changed 11 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

I have the latest installed: 

$ port installed wxWidgets-3.0 wxMaxima
The following ports are currently installed:
  wxMaxima @12.01.0_4 (active)
  wxWidgets-3.0 @3.0.0_1+debug (active)

but I still see the same crash of wxMaxima.

Looking at the crash report again I do see the infinite recursion mentioned in ​http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/15345#comment:31 which might lead us to a solution eventually.

comment:35 Changed 11 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

Herewith I verify that the committed fix in ​wxWidget's r75046 does indeed solve the wxMaxima infinite recursion issue.

wxWidgets should therefore be patched up to revision 75046.

comment:36 Changed 11 years ago by mojca (Mojca Miklavec)

Resolution: → fixed
Status: assigned → closed

Committed in r112422 together with a few more upstream patches related to ​http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/15580. Please test and let me know if I missed something.

comment:37 Changed 10 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

What concerns my initial problem all is fine with the current port state. Thanks for taking care of it.
