Glut+subwindow+Scroll Mouse = Segmentation fault

Hi,

I meet the problem when I use scroll mouse in the subwindow created by glut. When I scroll up the scroll button, code crash. Other mouse buttons have no problem. Scroll down the scroll button has no problem too. If you run the attached code, move mouse to the center and scroll up the mouse, you will know what I mean.

I don’t know whether it is a bug of glut or not. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks.

Looks OK to me. Have you tried using a dummy idle func instead of passing NULL to glutIdleFunc? In Windows this is not a problem, but I don’t know about Linux.

Even I delete everything in function “mouse”, the code will crash if I use scroll up the scroll button, which is button = 3.(the callback of left button=0, right button=1, middle/scroll button=2, scroll up middle button=3, scroll down middle button = 4).

If there is no subwindow, the code will not crash for any buttons.

That’s freaky.

I hate to say bug, until I’ve exhausted everything, but it sure looks like one here, somewhere. I just ran it on my Wintel box and it’s fine…

P.S. What’s the debugger telling you, if anything?
