I've written a patch that fixes this. It's a one-line change, only changing which constructor is called - it was calling the one for ComboBox instead of ComboBoxText; from my log reading, that change was probably done accidentally during an API change.
This patch is written on top of current git master, so should be easily upstreamable, but also works on top of the package currently in LMDE latest (3.2.0-1). (I tested that by adding the patch to debian/patches/series and rebuilding, which succeded, and the resulting package has this fixed.) ** Patch added: "Simple patch that fixes the bug." https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/998445/+attachment/3270116/+files/0001-entry-Fix-the-ComboBoxText-construction-so-the-dropm.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to zenity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998445 Title: ComboBoxText does not work anymore Status in The Linux Mint Distribution: New Status in “zenity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “zenity” package in Debian: New Bug description: Hi, This command does not work anymore : zenity --entry --title "Window title" --text "Insert your choice." a b c d I have for reponse : (zenity:21976): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid cast from `GtkComboBox' to `GtkComboBoxText' (zenity:21976): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_combo_box_text_insert: assertion `GTK_IS_COMBO_BOX_TEXT (combo_box)' failed x 4 and the list is empty... this command worked very well under Oneiric. apt-cache policy zenity => 3.4.0-0ubuntu4 lsb_release -rd => Ubuntu 12.04 LTS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint/+bug/998445/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
