Different problem with scalebar in GRASS 6.5

[cmbarton]

The north arrow in GRASS 6.5 looks OK and is not multiple (as I just reported as a problem in GRASS 7 (trac #1410).

BUT, once you've added a scale bar or north arrow, you cannot change it. Neither double clicking or nor trying to access the dialog called from the toolbar will access it. These both generate the following error:

Are you using fresh compilation from SVN? I am not able to reproduce this behaviour with G65.

[cmbarton]

Just compiled an hour ago r47252

The scale bar in the GUI works fine in 6.4.2svn r47214.

I rebooted my machine, restarted GRASS, and this error does not seem to be happening any more. (the others reported yesterday still do, and do so on my desktop too). I will close since Martin cannot reproduce and it has magically disappeared from my box too.

It's weird, I still get this error and I tried to fix it (5 min ago, I didn't noticed you closed it). The problem appears when the option north arrow only is checked. I have just commited the patch in G7 (the same error as G65). Please try it.

Did you find out why G7 is displaying 3 N. arrows in a horizontal row, with no fill on one of them?

Replying to cmbarton:

No, but I guess it's problem with d.barscale and not wxGUI.

It seems to be only a problem with latlon locations. I just tested the other issue (not keeping settings and raising an error), and it seems like you've fixed it.

So it seems like there were 2 different issues in 2 different GRASS systems. You've fixed the wxGUI one, but the other one remains and is likely to be in d.barscale. So I will indicate this for trac #1410. We can keep this closed this I believe.
