DDD annoyance

Hello all,

I am new to gdb and trying to run it in DDD (also new for me).
It happens that in the gdb command line (inside ddd) I cannot type any
character other than letters, numbers, and a few others. No dot ( . ), no
slash ( / ), hence no way to give a pathname !

However in the basic (command line) gdb as well as in other photon
applications, the full keyboard works properly.

Do I need to remap the keyboard in some DDD config file, or… ?

Thanks !

Alain.

How about if you start “gdb”, do you experiance the same problems?

export the following environment varialables:
export XErrorDB=/usr/share/XErrorDB
export XKeysymDB=/usr/share/XKeysymDB




Thanks !

  • “gdb” alone (in a terminal) works fine, I have the full keyboard.
  • starting “gdb” in another terminal before I start ddd doesn’t help.
  • I just installed nedit and… the same problem arises (characters can’t be typed in the edit window nor in the “open file” window…). Hence it seems to be Xphoton-specific ? (ped works fine)

But - sorry - I also forgot to say (you maybe guessed it ?): I use a french (“AZERTY”) keyboard…

export the following environment varialables:
export XErrorDB=/usr/share/XErrorDB
export XKeysymDB=/usr/share/XKeysymDB

It did not seem to help.

When launching ddd from the terminal I get (with or without exporting the variables) the following messages:
Warning:
Name: arg
Class: XmTextField
Character ‘\141’ not supported in font. Discarded.

Warning:
Name: arg
Class: XmTextField
Character ‘\151’ not supported in font. Discarded.

Warning:
Name: arg
Class: XmTextField
Character ‘\156’ not supported in font. Discarded.

gdb: cannot set terminal foreground process group: Inappropriate I/O control operation

… and a bench of similar messages when opening the File/Open window…

Sorry for disturbing if I could be more clever and find some answer alone…

Thanks !

Alain.

The bug is in Xphoton.

Xphoton currently only supports us keyboards.
Since there is no simple way to get the current keymap
from the input driver, Xphoton doesn’t even try :frowning:

It will be fixed.
