wxGUI no longer shows start image

[neteler]

When starting g.gui in G78dev only a kind of empty frame is shown (really, some graphic memory garbage of the window behind if present) while it works ok in master.

Not reproducible on Fedora 30, please make distclean, check git status, then recompile.

I have the same issue reported in a freshly re-compiled grass79 in Fedora 30 (I use make distclean).

If I start in text mode, and then call GUI with g.gui, then the start image displays normally and with the same message as described above... so, no idea

At startup (using relbr78), I see these error messages:

/home/mneteler/software/grass78_git/dist.x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gui/wxpython/wxgui.py:101: DeprecationWarning: Yield() is deprecated
  wx.Yield()
16:09:21: Debug: Adding duplicate image handler for 'Windows bitmap file'

I can't reproduce on Ubuntu. Are you sure that it works in master? If yes, it shouldn't be that hard to figure out the specific commit causing it.

It's not error, just warnings and debug, I think I get these too, so they don't have to mean anything.

After reboot it works in both master and relbranch78.

It seems to be a fuzzy problem :(

Ticket retargeted after milestone closed

Fixed in master and release_branch_7_8. Closing
