Activecat,

We haven’t changed anything in the wxgui for quite some time. My guess  
from  
this and your last post is that it’s either a version issue of  
wxWidgets/wxPython on your machine or that you are not using the OpenGL  
versions of the pltoters. Check to make sure that python-opengl is  
installed.

Sure because as you found out, PyBOMBS doesn’t install python-opengl.  
Since  
it’s not required to get wxgui to run, and since we’re trying to  
downplay  
the use of wxgui blocks, someone else who cared enough would have to  
write  
and submit and appropriate recipe to add this.

Yes, as you expected, the python-opengl had not been installed.  
After installing it, many weird appearance of wxgui are back to normal.

Thank you very much.

Note:  
Above problems happen when I install gnuradio using pybombs, regardless  
of  
whether “maint” or “master” branch is installed.
