Gtk3 Problem with combo box menus

#1 Post by filozofio »

I have been testing Debian Buster, and I find a bug I already saw in other distributions:

It is a problem with gtk3, which was affecting one version of it. It was solved after an update.

In Buster, the combo box menu does not work well, or does not well in some applications: You can see the problem here, in other distribution:

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/gtk3-combob ... imes/77886

Also here:

https://forum.manjaro.org/t/solved-xiph ... em/75704/4

I don't know if the bug is already known, or how to report it before Buster is released.

Well , you could do some searches, see if it has been reported, and also there are instructions at Debian.org on How to report bugs.
If you do decide to report it, and you should, since that really is what Debian testing is for,and about. Any way, if do submit it, you will certainly need more specific , clear details then what you have given here. Links to some non Debian distro, and forum simply don't cut it.
In fact there is instructions included in the manual, simply use the 'man' command, and the 'reportbug' command, the program even will give you a list of reported bugs you should review, to see if a similar bug has been submitted, in that case you still should submit it , but it will go with the other reports, related to that bug.

Code: Select all

$man reportbug
reportbug(1) General Commands Manual reportbug(1)

NAME
reportbug - reports a bug to a debbugs server

SYNOPSIS
reportbug [options] <package | pseudo-package | absolute-pathname>

DESCRIPTION
reportbug is primarily designed to report bugs in the Debian distribution; by default, it creates
an email to the Debian bug tracking system at submit@bugs.debian.org with information about the bug
you've found, and makes a carbon copy of the report for you as well.

Using the --bts option, you can also report bugs to other servers that use the Debian bug tracking
system, debbugs.

You may specify either a package name or a filename; if you use a filename, it must either be an
absolute filename (so beginning with a /) or if you want reportbug to search the system for a filename, see the --filename and --path options below. If installed, also dlocate is used to identify
the filename location and thus the package containing it.

You can also specify a pseudo-package; these are used in the Debian bug tracking system to track
issues that are not related to one specific package. Run reportbug without any arguments, then enter other at the package prompt, to see a list of the most commonly-used pseudo-packages.
