IFW 2.86 display problem

Post by ChuckWW »

When creating an image using 2.86, the file destination line is almost completely missing. I've never had the problem with any previous versions. I am using a larger (than the default) DPI setting for my display, but that has remained constant for years.

I've attached screen shots of 2.85, 2.86, and my display settings.

Does it make a difference if you turn off bolded fonts ("Bold Views" option in Settings)?

Was the DPI setting the only thing changed or do you have fonts (or font sizes) changed from defaults also?

I'm not seeing the problem on the systems I checked.

Yes , I tried it with bold and regular fonts, which made no difference. My display setting changes are done only with using the increased DPI - no font size changes.

I've been using 2.86 since it was released, but didn't notice my problem until today, since I run all my normal imaging using scripts or batch files.

I figured it was pretty isolated, since no one else seemed to be having similar problems. I will fiddle around with it on one of my other Windows 7 partitions, an XP one, and Win8/8.1 and see what's happening there. I will also try setting my DPI at the default and see how that affects my missing field. One thing I just thought of is that on rare occasions Microsoft's Updates for Outlook have done some odd things with font sizes in a handful of programs. I may roll back to a pre-last Microsoft Update image and see if that changes anything, too.

Thanks.

it's possible due to mismatch of an attribute the resource editor added.
The next version will add the attribute to all of them (dialogs) so it
(resource editor) doesn't add it when others don’t have it.

Thanks for checking. I will use IFW 2.85 until the next release, then.

On my Windows 7 partition, I did find that the problem only occurs in the 122 to 139 DPI range, and with "Use Windows XP style DPI scaling" checked.

I see the problem using 138%. Previously, I had tried using 142%, which was in your screenshot.

I just wanted to report that IFW 2.87 took care of the problem. Thanks very much for the fix.
