BUG: Display format odd..

Posts: 6 · lagunajim 13 Feb 2016, 15:38

Hello. Please refer to the image below - for me, the top destination path box displays unaligned to its neighbors, and the scroll bar on the right-edge starts with the 2nd row.

This is not a recent issue - just never bothered to report it before. Running Windows 10. Thanks!

The misalignment is due to the current design to always show the first folder pair (= the one that takes drag&drop from the left and right panels) while the rest of the folder pairs are inside a scrolled windows. Alternative design suggestions?

Hi. Aah, makes sense - but to be sure I have a suggestion!

Please see image below, and compare it with the "before" image in my original post. I would align the text boxes and just have deadspace where the scrollbar doesn't end the first row. If it's hard to code that way, perhaps put a dummy object colored the same as deadspace at the end of that first row :) Best/jim

The problem is how to get the width of the scrollbar and whether to show this dummy object or not (this dynamically depends on the height of the scrolled window). This would require way too complex and fickle coding for such a tiny issue. A better solution would be to use a different layout that does not need to be adapted by code.

I'd try putting a dummy scrollbar object over there..

If the width of the scrollbar is fixed, then simply putting an object above it of the same color as the background and your job is done.

If you're anything like me, this is going to weedle at you until you at least make and attempt :)
