Code

The progress_text must be updated together to the progress bar values. A possible updater code is:

 progress->set_text( Glib::ustring::compose(
     progress_text,
     Glib::ustring::format(std::dec, min),
     Glib::ustring::format(std::dec, max),
     Glib::ustring::format(std::dec, val),
     Glib::ustring::format(std::fixed, std::setprecision(pct_precision),
                           ((double)val-min)*100/(max-min) )
