[Gtk-sharp-list] Stability with GTK#

[Luke Usher]

The more I look at the problem the more it seems to be related to the stability of gtk and not with threading, the problems just seem to be much more evident when multiple threads are running.

As near as I can tell there appears to be some sort of conflict between the repaint event (not sure what it's called in GTK) and the widgets receiving data. If I don't move the mouse then the widgets don't update with the new data and everything runs fine. If I do move the mouse the widgets do get updated and this causes crashes. When the data is not changing there is no crashing.

What is the method to call paint events on widgets manually?

Is there a way to lock paint events?

Naturally it works fine (even with threading on) now that I want to reproduce that bugs :)

I managed to get one this morning that's a good example of the problems we've been having (and this one was kind enough to point us to the source of the crash) the stack trace is:

at Gtk.Entry.gtk_entry_set_width_chars(IntPtr raw, Int32 n_chars)

at Gtk.Entry.set_WidthChars(Int32 value)

Hi Luke, did any of the crashes reported any exceptions that weren't
handled?
