texmaker cursor problem

delacruz · 2009-03-16 23:03:54

After upgrading texmaker through pacman I am having a problem. While using the program at first the program works flawlessly. After a few edits the cursor disappears and I am no longer able to make any changes to my document. Is this an error with the program or is just my machine? thanks

EDIT: typo

I believe it has something to do with Trolltech.conf. For me this problem occured after using qtconfig to alter the colorscheme i qt applications. After doing a "mv Trolltech.conf Trolltech.conf.bak" the problem went away.

where is that file at i can not find it

EDIT: I downgraded and the problem still remains. Must be something related to qt or something of the like.

Trolltech.conf is located in ~/.config

got it. However problem still remains.

EDIT: found a really dirty work around. If I insert some symbol from the left hand side shortcut table the cursor appears again.

i hope this gets fixed soon. i am using kile right now and i just do not like it or get used to it. its clunky and cluttered.

Perhaps try lyx instead? I prefer it to texmaker, although it is not plain LaTeX it natively works on.
If you are accustomed to vim you may want try the latex-suite tools package.

Same problem here.

Deleting ~/.config/Trolltech.conf does not help.

It seemed to work for me, the problem is it comes back. The file gets recreated each time you hit save

delacruz · 2009-04-21 14:11:24

anyone have an update on this?

Looks like it is fixed now... Even though i didnt think so when posting on the bugtracker.
It now works.

This latest version 1.8-2 seams to have solved the problem. In the "bugtracker" is said that the Texmaker developer is aware of this bug and trying to fix it for his next release, he was the one that suggested this temporary fix.
