CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hi, I still cannot log in to Mantis for some reason, so I'll post this here instead.

There's a bug with FalSlider which has the effect that if the size of any of the dimensions of the slider track is zero at any point, it will cause the position sent to the thumb to be {{NaN, 0},{NaN,0}}, due to a division of zero. This seems then to cause the thumb window to never be able to recover (I'm not sure exactly what happens, but it seems like when setSize later is called, the NaNs will make that turn out invalid. Perhaps there should be an assert in CEGUIWindow for sizes and positions that contain NaN?)
Anyway, this patch will fix this issue (apply in the "0.7" branch):


Btw, when doing this it became apparent how much cumbersome the process of providing such a patch like this is when using svn in contrast to using a DVCS. While svn works very well for the regular developers, I would argue that the barrier of entry for non-regular developers wanting to provide a patch is a magnitude lower when using a DVCS.

Thanks for the patch, I'll apply it later today or, possibly more likely, AM tomorrow.

For the Mantis issue, I've deleted an account on there with your name - hopefully the next time you try to log in, a 'new' account with the right details should get recreated for you. If you could try that and let me know if it worked or not, that would be great

Thanks for this. I'm still on the fence somewhat regarding whether to switch. I've been using Mercurial for some things I've been doing here and, aside from some tiny little things that annoyed me, I've found it very good. Since a majority of the day to day commands are basically the same as for svn, I think any transition would be mostly painless for us devs. As the situation stands, it appears there are few (or even no) valid reasons not to migrate, aside from the inertia that keeps me from doing it! I will look over the situation again over the coming week and make a decision one way or the other.

CE.

Login works now, thanks.
