Description Jon Smirl 2003-06-29 21:34:55 UTC
Version:           CVS (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

I was in the debugger and I decided to add/remove some button from the browse toolbar. When exiting the toolbar edit session and of my debugger options were disabled. For example, step into, out, etc. These should have still been enabled as the debugger was still active.

The bug maybe that after exiting the toolbar editor the state of the toolbar buttons is not refreshed.

PS - It is not clear to me why the debugger buttons are located on the Browse toolbar. Normally there is a standalone toolbar for debugging.

yeap, the toolbars are a mess rigth now! :( 
Comment 2 Erno Szabados 2004-01-30 13:32:49 UTC
the debug toolbar forgets its state, too. I disable it and next time, there it is again :(
Comment 3 Matt Rogers 2004-12-16 07:33:18 UTC
regarding comment #2: are you talking about the floating toolbar?
Comment 4 Jens Dagerbo 2005-01-15 13:32:07 UTC
Interesting. The debugger plugin uses a probably little used feature -  KXMLGUIClient::stateChanged() to switch between states from a set of predefined states defined in the ui.rc file. (kdevelop/languages/cpp/debugger/kdevdebugger.rc)

From a quick glance at the KXMLGUIClient::stateChanged() code it seems KXMLGuiClient doesn't store the state, it only applies the setting it's been called with. The problem is that this means that when the toolbars have been rearranged (which apparently reverts state to the default) it has no idea what state the buttons should be in. 

As far as I can tell there is no reasonable way for the application to know if the toolbars have changed, so even if it were to store the needed state, it wouldn't know when to reapply it.

Unless I'm missing something (highly likely, this is KXMGUI, after all.. ;) ) this is a kdelibs issue.

Reassigning.


(Ignoring comment #2 - open a new bug report for different issues.)
