ok, my bad. anyway, i downloaded ver. 3.1.0 (patch 26g, Test-Scrabble3D-i386.tar.gz) and have already been able to reproduce crash during initial letter placement. also, many times the buttons are just unresponsive.

I have made tests with v26g in Ubuntu 11.04 64bit with Gnome in my VirtualBox guest under the host OS Win7 and in Ubuntu 11.04 32bit with Gnome as main OS on my Laptop, and I did not get the errors reported by jose1711.

Nevertheless I've got other errors, but they were the same as before: the "witch stairs" (64bit) and no letters at all in the cube (32bit):

[geschlossen] v26d vom 2012-04-06: Je nach Betriebssystem Fehler bei Anzeige der Buchstaben im Würfel

thank you for reporting. are you planning to run the tests on 12.04 as well? jose

I don't have Ubuntu 12.04 installed in my VirtualBox, and for different reasons I have not upgraded my Ubuntu 11.04 to 12.04. Should I do it? But then my 11.04 would be lost for ever...

Mayby I should install much more Virtual Machines in my VB, in order to be able to make more tests with Scrabble3D in different versions of Ubuntu and different Linux distributions as well. But I have not planned to do that just now because of lack of time and many other incurred liabilities (that mostly also have something to do with Scrabble3D ).

So that means that I will not run more tests in Ubuntu 12.04 just now.

My report about tests with the scourge of humanity: Ubuntu.

I setup Ubuntu from 12.4-iso into a vbox with 2GB Ram.

• The release 26 installed via debian package has a blank window as reported by wotix ([geschlossen] Scrabble3D (64-bit) startet nicht unter Ubuntu / Kubuntu 12.04). No controls are shown, nothing happens.
  
• The recent test version starts. But when I click "new game" I cannot do any further action. The UI hangs somewhere in this window or in that fancy Ubuntu sidebar animation or whereever. If I start the dialog with Ctrl+G it runs like a charm. Well not that perfect because Ubunutu's standard font is quite ugly and doesn't fit my screen layout but its functionality is okay.
  Without testing in detail, it seems to me that all self-made dialogs behave in the same way: keyboard okay, mouse not.
  
• When I place letters, the first one can be dragged and dropped while the second leads to an access violation (reported in this thread and at [geschlossen] Scrabble3D unter UBUNTU 11.10 and [closed] Moving letters from rack to board in Ubuntu 11.10, the game gets frozen).
  
• The 3D cube has transparency issues which has been described by Bussinchen as Hexentreppe ([geschlossen] v26d vom 2012-04-06: Je nach Betriebssystem Fehler bei Anzeige der Buchstaben im Würfel). Actually, the front is transparent instead of the background.

Meanwhile, use a better distribution or try the windows version with emulation.

Which one would you recommend?

Which desktop environment did you use during your tests, Scotty? The old Gnome or Ubuntu's new Unity? I guess Unity because you talk about that "fancy sidebar"...

The desktop manager (Unity, Gnome2/3, KDE, LXDE, XFCE etc.) is not necessarily related with a specific distribution.

I did run my tests with plain Ubuntu installation, i.e. Unity.

Lazarus and any Laz created app does not work with Ubuntu 11.10, the problem is, the mouse seems not be able to click on forms, editor, edit, memo etc to set focus.

The only way currently you can use Laz and Laz created apps without any problems on Ubuntu 11.10 is

1. Remove Taskbar Menu

2. Remove new scrollbar
http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linu...untu-11-04-tip/

I will have a look at the source and maybe we can come up with a fix asap.

Removing scrollbars solves many problems. I can interact with dialogs and I'm able to place more than one letter. Wrong transparency in 3D is still a problem.
