Hi,

Now we need to attack that "ugly buttons" problem.

For me, it's not just buttons, but also menu icons, SVG documents, and more. Some time ago someone posted a picture to this list that showed the buttons and tutorial-basic completely messed up. That's what I also see.

I'm also unable to use the Calligraphy tool - it draws something (not what it should, though), but when releasing the mouse button, it clears it.

I'm unable to move, scale, rotate or skew stars, arcs and spirals directly. I can only modify them using the Properties dialogs.

I can move text objects directly, but cannot scale, rotate or skew them. I can move and scale rectangles directly, but cannot rotate or skew them.

When node editing a star, an arc or a spiral, I can only move the nodes by large steps - no small movements possible.

I'm not able to modify the stroke width, as it always returns to the original value.

Also there are problems with modifying fill colors and gradients - it's nearly impossible to do so. The default fill is no fill (transparent objects).

Please, can you guys experiencing the "ugly button" problem check if you can also reproduce the above problems. I'm experiencing these in post-0.38 CVS versions. I have not tried any pre-0.38 CVS stuff.

It's so weird I don't know where to start :) Please create a bug ticket with your screenshot attached and provide as much information and testing as you can. Everyone, please spend some time thinking about it, maybe you'll be stricken by an idea :)

Symptoms suggest breakage in NRArena or the renderer itself -- given the assertion failures folks have been seeing, I suspect it is the latter.

Based on my experience with similar kinds of symptoms in the past, it may be a compiler bug (depending on compiler version or options), or (much less likely) code relying on some behavior that is undefined in C/C++.

So, in addition to determining when the offending code was checked in, we should look at the specific compiler/build configuration of the people experiencing problems.
