#22992: gedit preferences locked ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: nigra@… | Owner: devans@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.1 Keywords: | Port: gedit ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment(by nigra@…): Replying to [ticket:22992 nigra@…]:
gedit compiles, installs and is basically functional, but changes cannot be made to the preferences. The preferences notebook has all options frozen (greyed out) except the "Plug-ins" page, which seems to allow checking and un-checking plug-ins. There were no such problems with gedit under Leopard.
This *might* provide a clue: I just found out that the same preferences symptom can happen under Ubuntu (9.10 & 10.04LTS), but *only* if I open gedit from a CLI as root, but it's fine if I open it with the GUI interface, "gksu" as root. gedit v2.28.0 and v2.30.2 (I think) are in the two Ubuntu platforms I tried. FYI: The sorting problem fixed itself a while ago with, I believe, a dependency update when updating macports and recompiling, or just one of the gedit updates. I should have updated the ticket. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/22992#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
