Description:
In texmaker sometimes the cursor dissappears when you click somewhere in the document.

Additional info:
* package version(s): community/texmaker 1.8-1

See this forum: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=67712
I have tried to move Trolltech.conf as suggested, but it look like the file is reproduced when i open texmaker.


Steps to reproduce:
Open texmaker
- Work on the document
- Compile it
- After watching the compiled result,
go back to texmaker and click on the document and the cursor dissappear.

After the cursor dissappears you can click on a symbol or chapter in the
left "structure" window to get it back.
However will clicking in the document make it dissappear again.
This task depends upon

Same problem here, last update of all packages.

I think this is an upstream bug. I have contacted the developer of texmaker and I am still awaiting his response on this.

problem happens for both 32 and 64 bit archlinux.

I also have this problem. I think the bug appears whenever the mouse is used after *saving* the file, not just when compiling the document (as reported above). This makes sense, as saving the source is the first step in compiling the document.

Francois have you had any response yet ?

No response... I just emailed him again.

Update: This time the developer immediately replied. He is aware of the problem and working on it. He says it can be partly solved by commenting out lines 228 and 229 of texmaker.cpp:
//EditorView->setFocusPolicy(Qt::ClickFocus);
//EditorView->setFocus();
But apparently there are other problems with qt 4.5 and he is working on them for the next release.
I will try to recompile with the above suggestion and see whether it helps.

Did the last update (1.8-2) include this patch?
For me the bug still exists. Anybody else noticed a difference?
Comment by Francois Charette (Firmicus) - Sunday, 10 May 2009, 12:14 GMT
Yes it included this patch. The problem disappeared for me (on i686, but I did not really test it on x86_64). Sorry, there is nothing more I can do at this time. Let's wait for the next stable version.

it is fixed for me on x86_64

OK, I'm closing this then.
