This works as expected on the Gnome build. However the reason is does is
not so obvious and happens this way because of the interplay between
setting a list type and setting a list style.
If you look in
ap_UnixDialog_Lists.cpp
at the static callback functions:
static void s_styleChangedNone (GtkWidget * widget, AP_UnixDialog_Lists *
me)
{
me->setDirty();
me->styleChanged ( 0 );
}
static void s_styleChangedBullet (GtkWidget * widget, AP_UnixDialog_Lists
* me)
{
me->setDirty();
me->styleChanged ( 1 );
}
static void s_styleChangedNumbered (GtkWidget * widget,
AP_UnixDialog_Lists * me)
{
me->setDirty();
me->styleChanged ( 2 );
}
These set the List Style to "None", "Bullet", "Numbered", set the default
list type to it's correct setting, most importantly, do a call to
fillUncustomizedValues(void),
from within the platform code.
Which sets all the member variables to their uncustomized defaults,
including the font name.
You can legally change the font for Numbered Lists so that is not
hardwired into fillFakeLabels().
Anyway to fix your problem, do a call to fillUncustomizedValues() after
you set m_newListType to "Numbered List", before you do a
event_preview_exposed() call.
Good Luck! Please ask me more questions if needed. I know that following
the logic of what's in platform and what's in XP is not easy. Maybe I
should have bit the bullet and changed to your code ages ago.
Cheers
Martin
