A few visual problems in 1.8RC4
« on: 2013 March 14 05:42:18 »
I have found a few visual errors in scripts running in PI1.8RC4. The attached image has three different problems marked with colors:
  • Red: The title of group boxes is not aligned well vertically. This happens in Win7 but not in Linux.
  • Green: The horizontal scrollbar in list boxes overlaps the border. This happens both in Win7 and Linux.
  • Blue: Sometimes the height of the list of comboboxes is not sized well. This happens both in Win7 and Linux.
These problems are very minor and don't prevent from using the scripts.

Hi Andrés,

I have fixed most of these problems---the ones that can be fixed---and a few more in an update I've just released for all platforms.

Red: The title of group boxes is not aligned well vertically. This happens in Win7 but not in Linux.

This has been fixed with the update. Just a matter of fine tuning margins (each platform has its own typographic idiosyncrasies).

Green: The horizontal scrollbar in list boxes overlaps the border. This happens both in Win7 and Linux.

Unfortunately, I cannot fix this one. It is a Qt bug (incorrect z-order of styled scroll bars). This bug does not happen on Mac OS X / Cocoa.

Same as above: it is a Qt bug, and happens on all platforms.

Besides the group box problem, I have fixed a few more, notably a bug that was setting a wrong height for the command line control.

Thank you for detecting these issues.
