1.14 beta 3 crashes in Query Browser

From
Colin Beckingham
Date:
Opensuse 11.4, kernel 3.0.

I note that if I begin query construction in the graphical query 
designer and click into the text panel to make adjustments, adding for 
example a "distinct" clause and then attempting to go back to the 
graphical panel causes a crash.

Of course trying to use distinct in this context is not reasonable, 
however the programme does not recover gracefully or prevent the user 
from making certain edits.

The crash is quite severe. I have no access to the screen at all and the 
only way out is to CTRL+ALT+DEL, and wait for the timer to expire and 
log me out, and then log back in.

I was able to reproduce your issue. I have no idea what's going on, but
I'm investigating this.

Thank you for reporting it.

So, bug doesn't happen on Windows. I didn't check on Mac OS X, but it's
present on Linux. The culprit commit is the one that changed the
wxNotebook into a wxAUINotebook. Not sure yet how we'll fix this.

Seems we have a real issue here. Bug is you can't fire wxMessageBox or
alike when you're in the function fired by a
EVT_AUINOTEBOOK_PAGE_CHANGED. Only on Linux. Why? I have no idea. But
even the wxWidgets auidemo sample has the issue (I have the patch for
those who want to try).

So, my next idea was to remove the wxMessageBox from the function that
calls it, but I don't find a way to do that.

I'm afraid we'll have to replace the wxAuiNotebook with a wxNotebook.

Any objection? Dave especially, since it was your patch?

OK, cool. Believe it or not, I was just running a clean build to start
testing this myself when your email arrived :-)

If you understand the fix, and can explain it to me, that would be
great. Right now, I don't get it (and don't have much time to get into
this).

Not entirely sure, but I think the tab control is capturing the mouse
focus for the duration of the event. What the fix does is to get
whatever wxWindow currently has capture, and tells it to release the
mouse, thus allowing the message box to receive the input.
