i have adwaita OverlaySplitView
in the sidebar i have a Grid of buttons
in the content i have a Grid of buttons
i attach popovermenus to the buttons in each grid
when the invoke the popover through secondary press - the menu displays normally in the content side of the splitview
when i invoke the popover menu in the sidebar side of the spiltview i get the
Broken accounting of active state for widget (at a hex address)
if i swap the grid from sidebar to content side and vis versa - i still get the same error - so the error is not from what i’m doing with my grid
it is an errror in how the adwaita OverlaySplitView is handling its widgets
How to I ascertain what is going wrong in order to assist the developers to remedy this inconsistency? happy to help
please excuse my earlier frustration - being new to Vala and Gnome development it takes quite a while to find relevant documentation and examples for Gtk 4 stuff
i have wrapped Gtk Grid in a class wrapper that allows dynamic resizing of grids and handling of button widgets in the grid - will share once i get it working to my satisfaction - work in progress
the fact that i can swap the two grids from sidebar to content and have them behave properly in the content side of the OverlaySplitView tells me that there is an error in the way that the sidebar section is handling its widgets
i’m not new to software development - just new to Gtk
what is going on?
