Hi,
I have a report from a user that he has troubles with UI elements and
window sizes and generally the display looks strange in some text areas.
I attach the screenshot.
I think what happens is:
1) the user has selected in his windows preference to have "larger" text
in is UI, so windows tries to resize
2) gnustep tries to partially adapt to this:
* Menu items, text fields look taller, exactly as buttons and other
elements (one can see that also the images are scaled)
* The fonts actually "drawn" is however small
* UI elements get enlarged but the window size constraints are not, so
the lgin window gets clipped
I see two escape ways:
1) pursue the road of ignoring this window setting: let's not resize
anything
2) If we honour this setting instead, we need to draw the correct
enlarged font and also when enlarging UI elements the constraints (like
window max height / width) need to be scaled as well
perhaps the 2) is the most promising in the outlook of being a better
windows citizen (and perhaps other desktops too) but right now I notice
constraints and fonts because they represent a bug in this app, but who
knows to light when these two are fixed.
