They fix most of the bug I found with cross hair movement on the back of the board, and provide some defaults I thought were more appropriate for our use. Dan knows about the cross hair issue (it is fixed better in CVS than the last release anyway), and I also told him about the auto-pan getting the direction wrong on the back of the board. http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~pcjc2/geda/pcb_patches.tar.gz Note that they are "dpatch" patches for a .deb build. You'll need to copy the "patch" looking bits out of them, and apply that. Bandwidth availability (my own) has lead to not all of these fixes being pushed upstream although they have been posted here before.

And none of them are Gtk experts. If anyone knows of a Gtk expert might be interested in working on PCB, *please* invite them to do so. > I've started to try and analyze how the program works, but it is > somewhat beyond my programming skills...

One thing to try is, whenever you get something that seems GUI related, try the other gui (./configure --with-gui=lesstif). That's completely different code, and I actively maintain that one. If it acts differently, you know the problem is in the src/hid/* code. If it acts the same, the problem is in the src/* code. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

gEDA-user: PCB woes
Hello all. I don't want to sound unappreciative of all the work put into gEDA a particularly in PCB, I do appreciate it. Only, I wonder if someone uses the latest PCB (20070912) and it works for him/her? There are a lot of issues with cursor movements etc, which make it basically unusable. I've tried CVS, but it responds the same. I filed a bug against PCB, but, appart from a confirmation from another user reporting the same, I had no reaction to the report. (bugs 1796016 and 1796012 - though the last bug hasn't reappeared yet). I've started to try and analyze how the program works, but it is somewhat beyond my programming skills... Still, I'll have another go. Maybe someone can indicate where to start looking?
