Hi,
today i installed CodeLite 10.0.0 on my Fedora 25 64bit Workstation
I used the Guide from the Code Lite Website and installed xterm and clang before i run the setup.
My Problem is, when i use "backspace" in the Editor i can not type any other key's.
"return" is just working and after i use "capslock" it works till i use "backspace" again.
Pls can someone help me

Hi,
Is that with the rpm from
our repo? Testing it here on fedora 25, it seems to work normally after backspace. Do you get the same problem with any other gtk applications?
Your story is familiar though; see
this forum thread and
this wxWidgets bug report. Please report back after you've tried the suggestions from those.
Regards,
David

I installed it via repo like this:
Code: Select all
rpm --import https://repos.codelite.org/CodeLite.asc
Code: Select all
rpm -Uvh https://repos.codelite.org/rpms-10.0/fedora/codelite-10.0-1.fc25.x86_64.rpm
I will check the threads out tomorrow. THX for the help.

Now i killed ibus
uninstalled Codelite and reinstalled it after a reboot.
no difference...
I think it is a different problem because all keys i type shows up till i press the backspace only once. Then it doesn't work till i press Capslock or restart Codelite.
Edit:
I don't get this problem with gedit or vim

Won't the reboot have restarted ibus?
For me, doing:
ps -ef | grep ibus-daemon
outputs:
ibus-daemon --xim --panel disable
What do you see?

I'm sorry it's still happening for you, but I can't reproduce it here and no one else has reported it. That suggests it's due to some setting on your particular machine.
Have you tried the other suggestions in those links?
In particular, have you tried running the wxWidgets 'text' sample after exporting 'WXTRACE=keyevent', as suggested towards the end of the second link?

The first thing you
should have done was to try running it in a terminal, as that usually shows helpful error output if it fails. However:
Since you're using fedora 25, it might be either because of the problem
reported here, or because of my fix for it.
If you keep your fedora updated, it will recently have installed a different version of libclang. The original CodeLite package won't work because it expects the original libclang; you need to download
this fixed one.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it.
Alternatively, if when you reinstalled you downloaded the fixed package as linked to on the CodeLite repo page, and if you
don't keep your fedora updated, then the fixed package probably won't work for you. If that's the case, either update your fedora (#> dnf update), or download and install the
original package.

OK now I have managed to bring CodeLite back to run. The solution on this page helped me a lot.
https://github.com/eranif/codelite/issues/1602
Unfortunately, the link in your first post
http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/16840
did not help. But it is rather because I do not understand much of it. Can you give me a somewhat simpler help?
This would be very kind!
Thanks
