A test session with the current kdevelop

[Tommaso Massimi]

I have just downloaded the current svn version of kdevelop (release 594287),
and I found same little imperfection playing with it:

1) menu->about  copyright notice is still 2005

2) menu->tools->Debug Regular Expression:a "test regular expr" windows
popos up.
If you press the buton edit, the KDE form kregexpreditor appears, but
when you close it,
the  "test regular expr" is not more visible; kdevelop is over it.
Only pressing alt-tab you can see it again.

3) When in debug mode, I can only  see a few of the "icons/buttons" on
the bottom of the screen (I have only "Application diff Messages
Findinfile Replace konsole valgrind Security");
in the bottom-right of the screen I have the status bar.

If I press one of these buttons, the line of icons move up of a few
pixel and a second line of icons appears, with the function
"breakpoint ctags problem frame stack disassemble gdb".

I don't know if it is normal behavoiur or if it is related to my
strange display resolution (1200x800), but when debugging I'd like to
see the breakpoint, gdb and frame stack icons.

4) Debugging a multithread task, a popup window "GDB exited
abnormally" comes up
(I already see this message in another mail in tis mail list, but
without details)

This is the last part of the gdb window, as required by the popup window:

(gdb) next
Stopped due to shared library event
Current language:  auto; currently c
(gdb) backtrace
Variable "mode" is not available.
Could not find the frame base for "dieWerror(int)".

this is my gdb version:

[tom1 at tom_lap testlog]$ gdb -v
GNU gdb 6.3-8mdv2007.0 (Mandriva Linux release 2007.0)

Without debugging the task runs with no trouble.

5) If I select some line in the GDB window (as the line I have just
copied in this mail), in menu->edit the menu item "copy" is grayed
while the item "paste" is active.
It's quite strange, I think they should be reverted.

6) after this gdb crash, I stopped the debugger by pressing the icon
in the toolbar (red circle with a whith x in it). In the bottom of the
screen is now visible only the upper half of the first line of
"icons/button", as in the attached snapshot3.png


I hope to have time in the next days to do some other test session,
if this my activity is appreciated.

Please let me know if I should report some of these item in bugzilla.

Best regards
Tom
