charstyles don't redraw properly?

2007-10-04 Thread John Levon

If I type into say a FirstName charstyle in docbook, the blue banner
beneath just over-writes itself. I think it might be because Author is
centered text. It doesn't happen after a certain inset size. Anyone else?

I can see a similar thing during selection too.

Copy and paste doesn't seem to carry the style with it.

BTW, why do the styles appear as CharStyle:foo in the menu?

john

I don't think it was designed to do so. If it should, then that probably 
isn't terribly hard.

This is a consequence of some of Martin's recent work, which introduced 
layout-level configurability of these things, as well as layout-level 
user-definable collapsable insets. This is a bit of the cleanup that is 
still TODO.

Hmm, can't we have it in proper English? It looks like code!

Long story. The raeson seems to be that the inset's dimension does not
change (so no redraw), but things get written to different places on-screen.
The CRC thingy used to take this into account, but apparently (after
Abdel's work) no more...

The solution will be to force the textbox to be at least as wide as the
label.
