Re: little problem on IDE

[Bruce Steers <bsteers4@xxxxxxxxx>]

With gnome gtk3 Wayland I get....

The run button cannot be used.
It is not ghosted so it is not disabled, it just does not do anything when
hovered over
(working buttons get a border when you hover)

Pressing F5 works.

Running IDE from terminal i get these GTK warnings (not sure if it helps)...

Gnome wayland sucks, i cannot even find anywhere to set my desktop font
settings !
If i right click the IDE Toolbar i do not get the "configure toolbar" menu
so cannot adjust toolbar icon size.

Another oddity in the IDE preferences Font settings. The FontBox buttons to
open the font requester only work if I click the right hand side of them.
They do nothing if i click the left side of them.
This leads me to suspect there's maybe some new GTK3/Wayland position
detection glitch.

It seems to be localised to MenuButton only.
The "Open project" MenuButton also does not work.
All other buttons seem okay.

Respects
