[5.62] The IDEs "About" Window is a bit too small

Post by Kurzer »

This is just a small cosmetic problem, but as a nitpicker I mention it anyway.; -)

The window of the about function of the PB IDE is a bit too small for the displayed text. Therefore, a horizontal scrollbar is created. It would look better without the horizontal scrollbar.

My Windows system is set to 125% in the DPI settings.

Sorry, but if we start stuffing the bug forum with such uninteresting nonsense, really important bugs will never be fixed.

I can't even see a mistake. Where is the problem of a horizontal scrollbar if you use a font size of 125%. Make it better in your applications and everything is fine.
sorry for my bad english

There are supposed to be people who report even if there is one single character or a comma wrong in the help (spelling mistake). So I don't see any problem with my post and I don't understand your displeasure.

Fred will certainly be able to decide for himself whether I steal him so much time with such a report that he cannot fix other bugs. I guess it takes him a maximum of 30 seconds to read my contribution and decide whether or not it is important for him.

PS: I don't use a font size of 125% its the desktop scaling, that means all gui elements are resized to 125% also the about window itself.

PS2: Now I tested it also in a VM with a scaling of 100%. In this case the text fits into the window. So it seems to be a windows scaling thing.

It is because PB is not DPI aware. There are several threads in this forum complaining about, offering solutions and asking for this as a feature request (including me).

Well, it think in general it is okay to report "every" issue about Purebasic here. But I also have to agree to Josh that this really isn't worth the time spent for reporting. It neither affects functionality nor productivity for ALL of us. I personally hope that Fred looks for a generic solution (DPI Awareness) instead of fixing this single issue. By adding DPI awareness, this issue will be gone anyway.
