[2.14] text cut off in MUD window
|
I just downloaded version 2.14, and ran the following alias in offline mode:
| Code: |
<alias name="PerpOn" id="130">
<value>#T+ PerpDatabase;#dbload Perps;#say "PerpOn";#say "--Database updates activated."</value>
</alias> |
When I ran the alias, it produced the following output. Note that the last word, which should be "activated.", is cut off.
If I click on the last word in the output window, I get the following:

Update: I tried changing my font to Tahoma and back to Verdana, and that seems to have rectified the problem. I'll keep an eye out and post anything weird I see.

Let me know if anyone else sees this. It's possible that it isn't updating the font widths properly for the default style somehow. But I'm not seeing the problem here yet, so it might also be font-specific.

I also noticed this in another window. It seems related to the #SAY command.
Again, changing the font, and then returning it to what I had before seems to fix it. |

I just ran a test with a really long line of text, and didn't see this problem. I think it likely is font specific, but there is definitely a new problem with the display. I will post up some screen shots in the other thread about display and buttons since it seems to be more in line with what I am seeing.
Edit: After a bunch of other tests I am finding some really nasty things happening while selecting text in the output window. These all seem to be related to the size and width of characters. I use Arial Narrow 8pt on my capture windows and Courier New 8pt on my main window. Mainly I am seeing the selected character display not lining up with the mouse pointer, and the left most character not even able to be selected. These same problems happen in the untitled session which comes in with Courier New 10pt. |

Surely it must be related to the styles/screen redraw changes that Zugg made to make CMUD at least as fast if not faster than zMUD on Vista?
[EDIT: I'm working my way up the list of posts and hadn't got to the one where Zugg confirms this with an 'a' release.] |
