Hi all,
I was just shown something I was unaware of: a colleague of mine was
having problems with GUI client while sharing his screen on Zoom. The
issue is that some of the GUI button don't work: for example, the
green/red arrows for regressor selection in the OLS window. They're simply
unresponsive. Note that:
- the problem happens under windows. I tried sharing my screen on my Linux
machine and everything worked fine (no idea about the Mac)
- it seems to be zoom-specific: we tried doing the same using SkyPe and,
again, everything worked ok.
- the gretl verion was 2022a, so with the newest GTK library.
If some of the people on the list could try experimenting on their windows
machines to have a clearer idea of what's going on, that'd be helpful.

Did this happen when sharing the app or the entire desktop? (I know that
app-sharing the multiple gretl windows doesn't work with some video
tools, but it does work with others.)
thanks

The entire desktop. We didn't try sharing just the gretl window. However,
would that share the "auxiliary" windows (eg the OLS selector) too? I
doubt it.

I believe I used app-sharing successfully with gretl and the sub-windows
on a system like the university's Cisco Webex. (Which certainly has
other problems...) I was surprised, too.

Update: Off-list we did some testing and indeed it can be replicated on
Windows with Zoom.
- the gretl verion was 2022a, so with the newest GTK library.
Except that the Windows version uses GTK2, so not really new. We still
haven't tested with a GTK-3 gretl build on Windows, I believe.
If some of the people on the list could try experimenting on their
windows machines to have a clearer idea of what's going on, that'd be

The preliminary conclusion was that it's a Zoom bug. However, that
doesn't help us much, so having a workaround would be nice...
cheers
