Title: WinApe UI issue
Post by: Rhino on 21:07, 04 March 14
Hi,
I noticed some bugs in some UI windows of WinApe on Windows XP set to Full HD (1920x1080) and very big font size (Display Properties -> Appearance -> Font Size -> Very Big).

For example, I have attached two screenshots, the first one is the window of debugging registers, some regs are lost... and the window after assembling code, where some buttons do not appear...

Has anyone else noticed this issue?

Thanks in advance

Arrgh. Why do you use Very Large fonts? Put your glasses on!

I always had the same problem here, but the good thing is, that it doesn't happen in the "WinApe Debugger" window, so I was always fine with that :)
@Executioner: Maybe you should use the same font from the debugger window anywhere else as well?

And what a complete bastard to fix. Delphi Anchors don't appear to work properly, and you have to Log Off (ie. restart the dev environment) every time you change the font size. I'm trying to get another PC to test on since there's actually quite a few problems with existing forms.

Can you just fast switch to another user and run the test there? That leaves the dev environment running in your normal login session unaffected by any logouts needed on the test account.

Not sure as I don't have two accounts on my laptop. I've finished fixing it all up "manually", eg.

Label1.Left := ClientWidth - 100;

and all that stuff.

Not sure if you know about the bug in Replace, I tried substituting All the symbols from one kind to another in the Assembler, but it only changed the one I highlighted, so I had to say keep saying Yes to change them all that way, I didn't click on the "No" button, so I'm not sure if their just wired up wrong with the "All" Button.  ;D

Are you sure that's actually a bug? If you want to replace every occurence in a file don't select anything first. If you have selected something you can only replace all occurences in the selection.

Hmm okay, I can confirm that I had the text selected, so it only replaced what was selected. The Replace in Notepad is different, so even when the text is selected in Notepad and I want to replace all occurrences of it, that is what it will do regardless.

Does this only happen when you select the exact text you want to replace, or is there no way to replace all within a selection in Notepad? I'll try it later.

It's probably been updated since, I could only test it with the XP version of Notepad, but in that version of Notepad the Replace All will systematically Replace Everything within it regardless of if the text is selected or not.
