Or, possibly, your build environment will need to be updated. PR #3050 has passed the Travbis CI continuous integration (automated) tests. P.S. - you shouldn't be trying to apply that patch against v7.14.2 sources. It's intended for the next release branch (7.16 or 8.0), as currently represented in master - hence my suggestion to Oddbjornik. |

I can try the cb_wxwidgets_31_compatibility branch and test for the effects. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Ok, I've got the 7.15 "(Pre-release)" up and running, and it hasn't failed yet. Here's what I did: - Got the boinc master source from git. - Manually updated the four source files that are referenced in pull request #3050. - Downloaded the wxWidget source version 3.1.2 - Built the wxWidgets as described in the install-document. Just the plain vanilla build. - Built the boinc software as described here. I think the bug only rears its head when a work request 1) causes the number of tasks in the manager to be reduced, but still 2) returns _some_ work. That situation has not occurred yet, so I'll let this manager run through the next outage before I'm satisfied that it is actually OK. In other news, this manager still wastes much cpu when minimized, because the pFrame-IsShown() call still returns true when the program is minimized. |

Hmmm, who needs wxWidgets 3.1? I seem to have built a version with static 3.0.3 libraries that requires NO dependencies. At least I haven't found an OS that needs any, yet. Just loaded Ubuntu 18.10 and it also doesn't need any Dependencies. So, with the Fix I came up with almost 2 Years ago, and a little adjustment, it works even better than the current 7.4.44. After 4 Years I'm beginning to think the Jumping Task Page Bug will never be Fixed by anyone at Berkeley. At this point it really doesn't matter, I have a new App that works just fine in Ubuntu 15.04 and above. Those with less than 15.04 will just have to use the older Apps, which also work perfectly Fine. |

Thanks to Oddbjornik - I'll pass on news of your ongoing tests to Christian, and also your comment about pFrame-IsShown(). Edit - message passed. We have quite a lot of VHAR 'shorty' tasks in the work-flow at the moment - they are quite useful for reporting more tasks than you're going to need in return, and thus reducing the task count on RPC. |

At risk of re-igniting old flame wars (which is not my intention), I think you've mis-read the current situation. BOINC is no longer controlled by "them" (Berkeley), but by "us", the user community. Christian Beer, who is working on this for you, isn't based in Berkeley, or even in the USA: he's based in Germany. If you know of a universal solution which would work on all distros of Linux, please submit it. If it's Linux version dependent, then it's no advance on the proposed solution which appears to be wxWidgets version dependent. Some of "us" will continue to try solutions as needed, whether you wish to help us or not. |

I find it extremely difficult to 'help' anyone that makes judgements on opinion rather than fact. Experience has shown it to be a waste of time. |

Same as it's been for almost Two Years. Remove everything between and including #ifdef __WXGTK__ and #endif, https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/master/clientgui/BOINCBaseView.cpp#L273 That cures the Jumping Tasks and Transfers Page on every system I've tried it on. I don't think I've ever experienced the Bug referenced in that commit. I have experienced the Jumping page though, countless times. |

I'm sorry, but some time this morning, the test has failed. I found the task list scrolled all the way to the bottom. The event log shows just one recent fluctuation in the number of tasks. I have saved it for reference, in case you need it, but the case seems pretty obvious. I guess I'm with TBar in that I don't understand how the code inside the mentioned #ifdef can remain there and not have this sideeffect. |

Hmmm. It could be either "reported 8, got 0" (reduction) or "reported 9, got 17" (increase). If you manage to resolve that, it would be helpful. I see you're requesting 36 device-days of work, but only replacing 17 tasks with 17 tasks across the two RPCs: that suggests to me that you are bumping up against the "max tasks in progress" limit, and that most of your RPCs will be "report N, got N" - direct replacement, no change in task count. If you could possibly reduce your cache demand temporarily, so that you target say 90 tasks per device instead of 100, it might be easier to see the fluctuations. As to the cause, I suppose it depends how 'EnsureVisible' is defined. If it means 'ensure this item is within the scrollable viewport', then wxWidgets might say that the behaviour is 'as designed': note that the comment refers to "... if the list was scrolled near the bottom and the user selected 'Show active tasks'". My brief looks at the wxWidgets manual tell me that it has an almost infinite number of functions to choose from: perhaps we have to pick another one to make the workround work. I'll pass this on to Christian. |

Ok, I did this: - Reduced the cache demand to practically nothing. - Waited until I had a few tasks to report. - Switched to the "Projects" tab and pressed "Update". - Quickly switched back to the tasks view. - ...and saw it jump straight to the bottom once the scheduler call completed. So that should be all it takes to reproduce this problem.

A subsequent scheduler call to refill the cache did not scroll to the bottom. As I understand it, that is in line with the if/else block starting on line 254 of BOINCBaseView.cpp, where the scroll-to-bottom code sits in the else-block, that is, in the block that apparently is run when the number of rows in the view has been reduced. |

Well, I've just about finished testing new builds of BOINC 7.14.2. It seems if you compile it with Ubuntu 15.04 or higher it doesn't require any dependencies, but, of course it won't work with anything lower than Ubuntu 15.04. If you compile it in Ubuntu 14.04 then it requires the same two dependencies as before , libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 and libcurl3. I'd rather have the All-In-One not require any dependencies, so, it would be best to use the 15.04 build. This means if you have Ubuntu 14.04 you will have to replace the 5 default boinc apps with versions that will work in 14.04 from a folder in the Docs folder, similar to replacing the 7.8.3 apps with the 7.4.44 apps currently. This means most people won't have to install any dependencies to use the All-In-One package. Since All the App Versions were compiled Without that Bug of a 'Workaround', All versions will be Free of that annoying 'Jump to the Bottom' Bug. This is good... I'll see about updating the package soon. |

That will be most welcome TBar. I know a lot of Linux newbies were and are discouraged from using the All-in-One because of the missing dependencies. A lot of entrained MS mindset that any application should just run without having to fiddle with it being preeminent.

The Windows application also has dependencies - you will see DLL files in the boinc (program) folder. You don't normally notice them because the BOINC installer places them there. It would arguably be better for common shared dependencies (like the Microsoft C++ runtime libraries) to be installed as, well, 'common shared dependencies' (there's a method and location for that), but the BOINC method works. |

SuSE has again updatd my Leap 15.0 to Thimblewood, a development version, with kernel 5.0.1. Unfortunately, the 7.14.2 Boinc Manager does not work in Thimblewood and I had to connect manually to Einstein@home. This on a VirtualMachine running as a guest of Windows 10 on a A10-6700 AMD CPU, 24 GB RAM. Tullio |

Surprised that SuSE doesn't have user controls to prevent or ask permission to install updates. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |
