I've built Boinc 7.5.0 from master, the Event Log does nicely disappear behind the main window post the following changeset:
MGR: work around a Linux bug in wxWidgets which prevents bringing the main window forward on top of Event Log (or any modeless dialog.) - On all platforms, preserve Z-order of main window and Event Log when hiding / showing or deactivating / activating Manager. But, If you open the Event Log, then switch back to the Main window, and say open computing preferences, then bring up the Event Log to the fore again, it then gets a bit hit and miss trying to get the main window/computing preferences to come to the fore again (without closing the Event Log) Claggy > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected]; [email protected]; > [email protected]; [email protected] > Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 22:46:47 +0000 > CC: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [boinc_projects] [boinc_alpha] Linux issues with BOINC 7.4.36? > > I've built Boinc 7.4.36+ again from the 7.4 head, > the header alignment is much improved (ie fixed) post the following changeset: > > MGR: Work around a wxWidgets 3.0 bug in wxGenericListCtrl (Linux only) which > causes headers to be misaligned after horizontal scrolling. > > Thanks, > > Claggy > > > From: [email protected] > > Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2015 20:04:30 -0800 > > To: [email protected]; [email protected]; > > [email protected] > > CC: [email protected] > > Subject: [boinc_alpha] Linux issues with BOINC 7.4.36? > > > > On Jan 2, 2015, at 4:00 PM, Wolfgang Schwieger <[email protected]> > > wrote: > > > (including the linux patch for clientgui/BOINCListCtrl.cpp) > > > > We were not aware that Linux required a patch to > > clientgui/BOINCListCtrl.cpp. Could someone be kind enough to send me the > > patch so we can fix the problem in the source code? > > > > Also, we want to try to get a Linux release out with the latest BOINC code. > > Could people give us a comprehensive list of the bugs in Linux?
