charm @ 1.8.0+ : Weird entries in charm's "Edit" menu

Reported by: mkae (Marko Käning) Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: RJVB (René Bertin)
Port: charm

Description

There are as many "Start Dictation..." menu items in the "Edit" menu as (sub)tasks are defined by the user.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Shall I attach a screenshot?

That's the Qt5 version I take it?

What happens when you activate them?

comment:2 Changed 10 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

No, that happens ONLY for the qt4 version here.

Clicking on those menu item does NOTHING.


The Qt5 version has only one such entry, i.e. the one above "Special Characters...".

Clicking on this one triggers showing the OSX dictation dialog.

I get the same issue, in fact. And clicking on either item gives me this on the terminal (truncated):

Ah, I see, looks like a true bug then. :)

Not that I know what one needs this weird "Dictation" for...

comment:5 Changed 10 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

BTW, it appears that the number of "Start Dictation..." entries increases with time. Currently I reached 13.

Restarting the app removes the additional entries again. Turns out that hiding/showing the three editor windows causes the entries to appear in the "Edit" menu.

BTW, I also opened a ticket at Charm's issue tracker for another glitch I noticed on Qt4 only.

Have you tried building the stock source to see if that makes any difference?

Yep, I have that too.

No, I am building the port as it currently is.

(Well, the same source does work on Qt5 without these two issues.)

I think it's clear that the author hasn't tested Charm against Qt4 on OS X for a while ... or he'd have noticed that Q_OS_OSX isn't defined there.

Oh, have you found the spot where the qt4 code differs from qt5, by any chance? :-)

It looks like I have managed to bonk my installed charm by enabling (local) dictation in "System Preferences/Dictation & Speech/Dictation" with "Use Enhanced Dictation" checked.

Even after the successful download of the "Enhanced Dictation" stuff from Apple I realize that the main menu of charm.app stays empty when I restart it and its three windows aren't shown anymore.

The app doesn't respond to CMD+[123] either, so that I cannot make it show its windows. :(

Disabling dictation again doesn't help either. :(

I needed to reset Charm's configuration by removing Charm's plist file

~/Library/Preferences/com.kdab.Charm.plist

followed by a re-logon. ;-)
