Thread: pgAdmin3 @1.18.1_1 UI problems

<p>Hi,<p>I’ve installed pgAdmin3 from MacPorts on an OS X 10.9.4 machine and it has UI issues (e.g.: missing borderless
windows’borders, missing text in “Guru Hints” windows). These problems do not appear when using the pgadmin3 binaries
downloadedfrom the pgadmin website.<p>I’ve opened a bug report on MacPorts (https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44159) and
theyanswered me the following:<pre><code>The upstream application is bundled with wxWidgets 2.8.0. I'm almost sure that
thisis the reason for problems. MacPorts links against wxWidgets 3.0 and there is no way to link against 2.8 unless if
youare happy to use GTK. If I am right, you should file bug reports upstream, asking for better support for wxWidgets
3.0.There is not much that the macports developers/maintainers can do about it. 

(You could try to link pgAdmin from MacPorts against wxWidgets 2.8, but you can only do that if you have wxWidgets 2.8
installedon your mac. wxWidgets 2.8 can only be built from source on 10.6 or earlier or on 10.7 with SDK for 10.6.) 
</code></pre><p>For this reason, I’m asking you to have a look on this one. Do you have any insights or existing
evidenceof issues with pgadmin and wxWidgets 3.0?<p>Thank you very much,

Thank you very much,
