Help not working in 0.84

[tonyforster]

Block descriptions are not appearing in help, V106 Sugar0.84 build 861.10.1.3-au2

[tonyforster]

i have 2 1.5's, same os, one ok one not, one must be a prerelease v106, will check further

[tonyforster]

Looks like the ASLO version is the faulty one, reloaded V106 to both machines and now both buggy

[walter]

Could you please look at the log file to see if any errors appear? (I am running the 0.84 toolbars in v107 and don't see any problems.)

v107 beta is available here:  http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:TurtleArt-107.xo

[tonyforster]

nothing in the log
will try v107

[tonyforster]

V107 is buggy on os861au 0.84
also buggy on os439dg 0.88

0.88 does have this warning but its about the datastore
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sugar/datastore/datastore.py:103: UnicodeWarning: Unicode unequal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal

if key not in self._properties or self._properties[key] != value:

It seems that my setting the width of the help label is causing breakage in 0.84. As a temporary fix, I'll revert to the default width on pre-0.86 builds. Meanwhile, I need to chase down the problems you are having with v107 :(

[walter]

I don't seem to have any issues with v107 on vanilla 860 0.84.31

 http://git.sugarlabs.org/turtleart/mainline/commit/d9679562ee14fe0ef3ac4139728d88eb0b796f05 is the patch that circumvents the original bug. Please file a sep. ticket re specific problems with v107, which now incorporates this patch.
