Odd behavior in 3.3.0 coming from 3.2.1
Added by Richard Bingham about 11 years ago
Hello folks,
I haven't been actively coding with wt for a while, and the last time I compiled was with 3.2.1.
My client has asked for some changes and also wanted me to move to 3.3.0. I installed 3.3.0 with no problems, compiled my code with no errors, however there seems to be some differences causing odd behavior.
I've taken a quick look at the roadmap/history and even though I saw some mention of layout changes, didn't see anything obvious, so I'm hoping someone can save me some time and point me in the right direction.
Here's a few of the things I'm seeing (with firefox and IE):
instead of my tabs being horizontal along the top as buttons, they are vertical as a bullet list.
Dialog boxes do not create a separate window and the contents just show up in the middle of the existing page.
Any suggestions on what's changed from 3.2.1 to 3.3.0 that I need to start with?
Thanks,
Richard.

Hey,
You probably need to update your resources folder (or any custom CSS you've done); the markup of some widgets has changed.
Also make sure you are not used cached version of the older resources.

Thanks! I'd checked the /usr/local/share/Wt/resources, but I didn't realize my ./resource/ directory had been removed from the test directory.
Things are looking good so far :)
Richard.

Do note there are behavioral changes with clicking in/around table/tree views as well as disabled Wtexts turning grey. It also appears that, despite no code changes, double clicking is "harder". We have bumped up the double click delay (which causes other problems) because we couldn't double click fast enough (I am in my 20s, I should have nimble fingers). Those are the biggest "gotchas" we have run into while transitioning.

Thanks Thomas!
I've passed this on to my client to watch out for these during testing.
