v0.12 Win32: Cosmetics: Filter control display anomaly

[xnview]

You have changed only for classic theme? No font change? or DPI?

Hi Pierre...

Not sure of your question, but the problem shows with all of the MP styles. I can send screenshots but don't have time today.

Are you layering two controls for the Filter thing? Or is that a special control available in QT? Regardless, it appears to be a composite of two controls.

Perhaps a "standard", editable combo box that collects the entries PLUS a couple of buttons to manage the list, apply/cancel the filter...

Here is a quick and dirty (and ugly) illustration:



+ (Add current value to list of filters)
- (Remove current value from list of filters)
X Disable filter

No i means that windows are not in Xp theme but classic theme...

[JohnFredC]

Ah, yes. I use classic theme.

[xnview]

Ah, yes. I use classic theme.

If you try the Xp Theme?

Default theme, default fonts, default resolution, and no effects.

If you compare the two screen caps, ...

... you'll see that the problem has to do with the Qt style sheet.

Pierre, do you know which selectors are responsible for the search field and the stop button? I can't find it on Trolltech's site

• Custom Looks using Qt 4.2 Style Sheets
• Qt 4.3: Qt Style Sheets
• Qt 4.3: Implementing Styles and Style Aware Widgets
• Qt 4.5: Qt Style Sheets Reference

Hi Pierre...

I switched to the Windows XP theme, but there was no improvement.

(...so I switched back )

Oh, if you use the default theme, there is no problem???

It's a custom control

[XnTriq]

It's a custom control

I see.

Correct.

It doesn't matter which style (Windows/Motif/CDE/Plastique/Cleanlooks) I use.
As soon as I activate the View » Style » Theme option, this UI problem with the search box shows up.
To fix it, I have to remove all text in the DlgEdit window.
Even if just a simple space character (Alt+032) is left behind, our problem persists.

@JohnFredC: Can you confirm this behavior with Windows XP?

[JohnFredC]

Yes! Confirmed as you describe. Good detecting!

To reproduce:

Create a theme, apply it.
Observe display problem.
Clear theme, apply.
Close MP.
Restart MP.
Display issue no longer visible.

Hi Pierre

This issue is almost fixed in 0.21. It's only one pixel "off" at the bottom border:
