Re: Modeless screens on Windows (SOLVED!!!)

2012-07-16 Thread Peter Haworth 
Hi Hugh,
OK, I see what your'e saying now.  Actually, this isn't iOS, just
Mac/Windows/Linux.

I do plan on entering a QCC report on this but I have to say I'm less and
less motivated to enter QCC reports since I don't see any evidence that
anyone at RunRev ever looks at them.

Hi Peter,

My suggestion was for a consistent title display irrespective of text size,
but the only consistent title available is blank (visually by using a space)
until a bug fix is implemented. On Windows, a modeless window has no title,
but I appreciate that this is iOS with different expectations so probably
best to ignore the idea!

Coming in late on this thread, Peter, but would setting the 'title' of the

I've seen 'larger than 100%' fonts cause problems in a lot of different
windows dev apps - I'm glad you found the problem!

Not sure why it would not show when modeless, so if you haven't logged a bug
in RQCC, I'd suggest logging it.

In view of my later email on this, yes, it appears LC is not completely
blameless in this so I will file QCC report.

Re: Modeless screens on Windows (SOLVED!!!)

Ken - you nailed it, thank you so much

I had the text size set to medium (125%).  I changed it to small (100%),
re-logged in and the title appeared.  Just to be double sure, I went back
to medium text size and the title disappeared again.  I will be sure to
mention this problem somewhere in the docs for the product.

Surely this is a Windows bug?  Even with the text size at medium, the title
appears if the stack is top-level, just not when it's modeless.  Be that as
it may, I can now get on with my life.
