Zim-desktop-wiki: source view codeblock freezes page

[markfink]

I am a new user, just experimenting with the features a bit (can't find the logfile otherwise I would provide more info or help out with some analysis).

1. on a page I do "Insert > Code Block"
2. I select "Python"
3. I add a function like "def a():n pass"
4. now it does the syntax just fine
5. go to another page and come back (I assume this is when Zim saves a page)
6. now the page is frozen - no highlighting, not possible to switch to edit mode any more

If I can do something to investigate this issue let me know

my system:

• I am using up to date Arch Linux
• Zim 0.67 (installed via pacman)
• I assume Zim uses my system python which would be 3.6.4

update (11.02.2018):

• I ran Zim in -D mode and could not find anything that indicated a problem let alone any info regarding codeblock :(
• only thing I found is this: "DEBUG: Got error in dispatch: No such file or directory"
• looks like I am out of luck trying to install from source: "ImportError: No module named gobject"

wow, the old "edit source" & linenumbers="False" trick worked for me!

This is definitely a duplicate of #296

Also, Zim is not ported yet to python3 (but the work is in progress). Easy check:

$ ps -o cmd -C zim
CMD
/usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/zim

Hello,

I have the same problem with freezing Zim. Where should I put this line edit source" & linenumbers="False?

[Self-Perfection]

@walduf just right click on sourceview object and deselect "Show Line Numbers" option. Or manually disable display of linenumbers in note file. E.g. edit it with menu->tools->edit source.

@Self-Perfection Many thanks! :]

Closing as this is a duplicate of #296. Hope this to be gone in Gtk3 port - fingers crossed.
