Windows Build 20080811: weird things

[motiv4u]

At first glance, two weird things happen:

 

1. Start gnubg; maximize window; New (match 7)

The window reduces to about half screen size

(reproducable each time again, also after Open File)

 

2. Load the attached game. Game - Play computer turn

gnubg offers to resign ???

(reproducable each time you load the match and let gnubg play its turn)

 

The weird thing:

I build gnubg myself (Windows Vista Ultimate en_us SP1)

NONE of those things happen. GNU Backgammon keeps the choosen layout and GNU Backgammon does not resign the attached game.

 

Both the build on the site (20080811) and my build (20080823) IMHO use the same sources, since the last update in the ChangeLog is dated Aug 12th.

(and that's only the total.bmp thing)

 

Any clues why the build on www.gnubg.org is buggy ?

Here I have a WinXp PC and i cannot reproduce issue #1 at all, no unexpected
resize for me. I don't see the attachment for issue #2 so I can't test.

I'll check for #1 with my (home) Vista pc.

Anyway, I build with my own makefiles and not with the provided ones: this may
account for some differences, even if I find this a bit difficult to believe
(I mean no compile warnings/errors and we have runtime differences ? hmm ...)

One thing that may explain the differences is the GTK version.

I'm NOT using GTK-GLADE for win (since its releases come out much later
than GTK releases). If you're using older GTK releases, this may eventually
explain issue #1 (I do mean eventually). Not sure if this could also explain
issue #2.

When you build gnubg, do you run it (with no issues) in the same directory/
environment you've built it into ?
Can you check that the www.gnubg.org is using ONLY the dlls that are in its
own directory (use dependencywalker, freeware) ?

Here are the libraries I use to build (I may want to check if there are more
recent versions):

I verified:

- issue #1 (win resize) does not happen on my office pc running XP, but does
happen on my home pc running Vista.

- issue#2 (resign, Nardy emailed me the file) does not happen for me, neither
on XP nor on Vista.

MaX.
