Also tried from PPA.

After adding or removing charts, the busy spinner stays active.

I am Using the US ENC and RNC charts for NY.

OpenGL on/off makes no difference.

It can be cleared by entering options and exiting without making changes to the charts, or closing and re-opening OpenCPN.

Cheers,

Please Ignore this. It seems it was related to WxWidgets 3.0.0.
After I correctly installed 3.0.2 the problem seems to have disappeared.
I'm not sure what happend with installing from the PPA, but all logs showed WxWidgets3.0.0

Sorry,
JM.

Well! JM, thanks for THAT!

ubuntu 14.04 (trusty)

There are official wx3.0.0 trusty packages in the ubuntu repos. However these suffer from a nasty mousewheel bug, since fixed. So, because of this and other fixes, you may well want to use these wx3.0.2 packages instead. They don't seem to conflict too much with the official wx3.0.0

Dave,

I took out the tablet "Teclast Tpad X10HD 3G" I bought last spring. Its GPS does not work (among other problems) and I tend to forget to test O above.

I remind you that it's a 10-inch tablet in w10, with a recommended screen resolution 2560x1600.

I just still O411301 installed on this tablet.

Several problems:
1. The icon bar is very very small. So small that it is almost impossible to click on an icon with my fingers. I must imperatively enable the scaling factor in the options and choose the value 5 for the thumb of the user interface.

2. For the texts, they are really very small. I opened the options and change the font size boxes. Surprise, the initial value was "4". I switched to 10 for readable text. (After this adjustment, the font size with O 40, in the boxes, is enormous.)

1 and 2: I think that a beginner with OpenCPN, using this kind of touch pad, will not want to keep OpenCPN because he will not know which particular setting it will have to do.

3. With OpenGL OFF and the touch activated screen interface, and scale factor activated on the bar charts, rectangles related to nautical charts are normal color as I did not click on one of the rectangles. After that, the rectangles become black or grey. And I have to stop O, and restart O, for it returns to normal.
This defect does not exist with OpenGL ON or OFF with the touch screen interface.

4 I try dashboard and Grib plugins. You can see that the texts are very little. the dasboard window is very little. So it is necessary that I change also here character size.
