Hi all, first post, being coding a while using a wide variety of stuff over the years, mostly business forms related. Now using PB for little utilities to interface to cryptic CLI utilities that cause clients brains to explode. PB just lets me get on with it, no BS about Rust vs Go inherited dangling pointer cleanups etc.
On macOS Monterey 12.7.6 Intel when using the Form Designer, accessing the properties for a gadget is a bit of a lottery:
On my MacBook, clicking anywhere has the panel scroll up - I use the cursor keys to move to the appropriate line and then try a click, usually a fight which results in me switching in to the code editor.
On my iMac, so much more screen space, I can click on the top half fine but anything below Parent causes the same scroll up.
On my macOS Sonoma 14.7 Mac mini M1 all the properties below Event Procedure cause the scroll up.
On all three, the Event Procedure list is all squished up like the line height is set to 0.5 so selecting an item is hit & miss - I can copy & paste, if I can get the cursor in the box. I'll post an image once I've found some safe image hosting.
On Windows 10 everything works as expected.
I'd guess at there being some height calculation going astray - the X boundaries for clicking are OK, it's just the further down the panel depending on which hardware, the more hit & miss is the click.
I can record a screen cast if this helps. As you can guess, I'm macOS first but no stranger to Windows or Linux, so can test and compare & contrast across platforms as required.
