Text spacing issue with pop-up dialog

Unread post by fillerup » 2018-09-03, 07:38

Found on Mycroft Project, some specific text isn't correctly placed leading to buttons being pushed out of view.

how it should look:

how it sometimes looks:

looks like the dialog in the second picture got resized to be smaller, hence the lack of space?

Tested on new vanilla profile, PM 28.0.1 Windows 10 x64

I looked for a test one but couldn't find it. I just tried a bunch on the site.

How do you do what you did?

each engine has its ID, which you can see by hovering over the review button on the listing page. after getting an ID, go to "Create/Submit Plugin", input the ID into the box and Load it. then change the name, go down and press Generate and then Test

Thanks. Ok, I tried a few different ones, with different names, and they seem to load ok as they are:

No prob! Those images look so big to me. Do you have screen shot of image on computer screen when you test it?

But I guess not necessary. Just surprised how big images are.

I see... so if the test word/phrase is longer then more space happens on bottom for you it seems.. maybe something to do with the sizing.. I really don't know.

When I measure mine versus each other, the spacing around bottom, top and sides seems pretty equal no matter the word/sentence used.

more so at the top and right i think. the extra space up top is always there no matter the length. but that's with the White Moon theme i'm using. new profile only has the space to the right

I see. The bottom is the first thing I notice since the buttons become fully visible and have a little space under them and the image looks a little more normal than the test one which looks chopped.

so it seems i'm still getting the same issue on a new windows install + new 28.1.0 profile. guess that's gotta be down to hardware then? can someone with a HiDPI help confirm for me if you also get the issues i described in this thread

my screen is 14" @ 1440p 150% fwiw
