#26 closed defect (fixed)

Dialogs are improperly sized leading to clipping on DBCS systems

Reported by: ataylor Owned by: andib
Priority: major Milestone:
Component: engine Version: 3.12

Description

Dialogs throughout XWLAN are too small and/or provide insufficient space for controls on DBCS systems, which leads to clipping as well as cramped, difficult-to-read windows.

This is caused by the windows and controls being scaled for a font of 9.WarpSans with the dialog units scaled for the SBCS default of System Proportional. Since DBCS systems normally have a different default dialog font (and thus a smaller dialog unit size), all dialogs and controls are reduced in size and become too small for the content.

The solution (and the correct approach in general) is to always lay out the dialogs using the same font as the default system font. (The font can then be changed to the desired font after layout.)

Even on an standard English system with 1024x768 resolution (R60e) the TCP/IP page 2 (DHCP settings) is cropped. Height to small. XWLAN language setting English.

Worth to mention, XWLAN uses different sizes for the notebooks depending on selected language.

Attached how it looks on my main system.

ok, seems trac currently does not allow attaching files. Images will be attached later. Maybe someone can interpret this trac error -

Oops …
Trac hat einen internen Fehler festgestellt:

IndexError: pop from empty list

Wahrscheinlich ist das ein Problem mit der lokalen Installation.
Fehler in Trac gefunden?

Wenn Sie der Meinung sind, dies sollte eigentlich funktionieren, und Sie das Problem reproduzieren können, ziehen Sie in Betracht, dies dem Trac-Team mitzuteilen.

Bevor Sie dies tun, versuchen Sie jedoch bitte zuerst, nach ähnlichen Problemen zu suchen da es recht wahrscheinlich ist, dass dieses Problem schon zuvor berichtet worden ist. Bei Fragen zur Installation und Konfiguration von Trac oder seinen Plugins, suchen Sie bitte die Mailingliste auf, anstatt ein Ticket zu erstellen.

Ansonsten, Sie bitte einen neuen Fehlerbericht, der das Problem beschreibt und erklärt, wie es zu reproduzieren ist.

I've replaced the file linked above. Should now look fine on low resolution displays too.
