ComboBoxText no longer working under Julia 1.8.5

[tkoepsell]

The ComboBoxText widget no longer seems to work for me under Julia 1.8.5. It works fine under 1.8.4. Try the example in the Gtk.jl documentation under "ComboBox". It aborts immediately.

In a program I wrote that uses the ComboBoxText widget, I get a segmentation fault as soon as I try to use the widget to select an item when using Julia 1.8.5, but the program works fine with Julia 1.8.4. I'm using Gtk.jl v1.3.0 on an iMac with Mac OS 12.6.3, both of which are current. Any ideas or suggestions?

Hi @tkoepsell, I am experiencing a similar problem while switching from Julia 1.8.4 to 1.8.5 (or to 1.9) on a Mac. On Windows it is working without problems. I haven't boiled it down yet to a particular Gtk component (like your ComboBoxText, which I don't use), but it might be related to the usage of an GtkExpander (t.b.c). Did you find any solution?

Klaus, Not so far. I needed a work-around for a particular project, so I switched to from a ComboBoxText widget to a radio-button group. That approach would not work very if there were a large number of choices, though. Tom

Thanks Tom! Yes indeed, avoiding the ComboBoxText widget is not always possible (and in my case it's not the source of the problem). Unfortunately, I guess, it's hard to figure out the root cause of the problem without getting some advice from some Gtk expert.
