Output pane keeps re-appearing

[codetoad]

Every time I start a debug session, I see the output pane almost covers my source code view. I uncheck it in view menu, and it reappears, back in my face again(!) the next time I start a debug session. There are no build errors, and so under this circumstance I would rather it stayed out of the way.

I am using SVN built from source on Linux

Possible?

Thanks

To disable the auto-appearance of the output pane when debugging (in svn built of codelite):

'Settings | Global Editor Preferences | Docking Windows'

and untick the option:
'Show Debug tab on start Debugger'

On Mandriva, svn build 4512, there is no Global Editor Preferences in Settings.

There are only:

Editor... (which doesnt do anything when clicked)
Syntax highlight and fonts
Keyboard shortcuts
Environment variables
Build settings
Debugger Settings
Tag Settings

Also: in debugger settings, the checkbox to prevent the debugger terminal from showing is having no effect, either.

Could it be the menu is not displaying for some reason in Mandriva right now?

Thanks for prompt reply!

Please remove your ~/.codelite and restart codelite

Im sorry, you lost me there.

There isnt a ./codelite (one in root or in home)

Just these found after make install:

find: `./home/steve/.gvfs': Permission denied
./home/steve/devel/codelite
./home/steve/devel/codelite/Runtime/codelite
./usr/share/codelite
./usr/bin/codelite
./usr/lib/codelite

So I dont think Im running the wrong one. On the splash screen it says revision 4516 -- and that menu definitely doesnt do anything when clicked. but all the others do.

Thanks

Try to find the files:

menu.xrc
codelite.xml

on your system.

The menu entry is named "Global Editor Prefernces", "Editor" was the old name for it. The menu entries are set from the file menu.xrc.

the default menu.xrc file is /usr/share/codelite/rc/menu.xrc
however, you are still getting the old menu, since codelite is able to locate your own file (this is why it does not override it with the default) - you need to find and delete it.

There isnt a ./codelite (one in root or in home)

The directory name is ~/.codelite (note the dot before the directory name)
