Does the problem exist, in the tortoiseHG if opened on a scaled screen? Scott

I tried digging into example-Qt4Qt5 but I know nothing about Qt and frankly was turned off not being able to find a pre-built version of qmake (even after installing the Qt SDK). Are you able to publish a pre-built executable of example-Qt4Qt5 for me to try out? Thanks, Gili On 2018-05-23 6:40 PM, Scott Bloom wrote: To duplicate under windows 10: 1. Setup two monitors, resolution doesn’t matter, however the Scale & layout option (windows 10), “Change the size of text, apps and other items” to 125% on one screen 2. Run the example-Qt4Qt5 app as shipped with the QScintilla core 3. In the screen with magnification, just type, you will see the visible cursor is NOT where it should be. I have confirmed it doesn’t happen with SciTE It doesn’t appear it has anything to do with moving, just having the window open on the scaled screen. Gili, can you confirm that ?

As far as I can tell, this bug isn't 4k specific. If I change my 1080p monitor to have the same scaling factor as the 4k monitor and drag TortoiseHg across the problem does not occur. The bug seems tied to different scaling factors, regardless of the monitor resolution.

Do you have an equivalent program that uses QScintilla? PS: Using TortoiseHg, if I keep the application on the same monitor and change its scaling factor the bug does not occur. The bug only seems to occur when the application is dragged from one monitor to another. My guess is that when the application is sitting on one monitor and the scaling factor is changed, it receives and responds to an event. But when the application is dragged across monitors it does not recieve a scaling-specific event and as such it doesn't think to update the DPI accordingly. I would be surprised if this logic was TortoiseHg-specific (it seems like something that should be handled by the lower layers) but who knows...

That is a base editor, tied to the core Scintilla widget, not used QScintilla (which is a Qt wrapper for the core) In reality, the TortoiseHg devs, need to work on this, to see if its their bug first.. This could be due to the 4k to HD resolution swap… Scott From: cowwoc <[email protected]><mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2018 15:06 To: Scott Bloom <[email protected]><mailto:[email protected]>; Phil Thompson <[email protected]><mailto:[email protected]> Cc: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [QScintilla] Bug report: Caret position is incorrect if window dragged across monitors Hi Scott, I'm not affiliated with TortoiseHg. I'm just an end-user. As such, I have no idea how to create a minimal testcase outside of TortoiseHg. When I filed a bug report at https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/issues/5086/caret-position-is-incorrect-if-window I attached a video demonstrating the problem. Hopefully that'll help. If you guys have a stand-alone application I could run, I can try reproducing the problem with it as well. Thanks, Gili On 2018-05-23 4:45 PM, Scott Bloom wrote: I have a PC with multiple monitors.. However, looking at the issue, there is no minimal testcase. There is also nothing saying it’s a bug in Scintilla, QScintilla or tortoisehg. It could be any of the three. Why is the assumption being made that its QScintilla?

Sorry, I don't have the equipment needed to reproduce the problem. Phil Hi Phil, Which equipment are you missing? A video card with 2 ports? 2 monitors? Or a copy of Windows? ...and a PC. Phil Fortunately for you, that's not a problem :) Assuming you have a Mac laptop: 1. Plug in a second monitor (any will do) so your laptop sees multiple monitors. 2. Fire up a virtual machine of your choosing. I used VMWare Workstation, which is equivalent to VMWare Fusion on Mac. I believe VirtualBox (which is free) will work just as well. 3. Download and install the Windows 10 ISO which you can download for free from https://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/software-download/windows10 4. You can run Windows 10 without a license for a short period of time (30 days I believe) so this isn't a problem. 5. Configure the VM with 2 virtual monitors and you should be able to reproduce the problem. 6. I just tried it in VMWare Workstation and it worked for me. I haven't been able to get this working (yet) using a single physical monitor. See https://superuser.com/questions/1325393/how-to-use-multiple-virtual-monitors-if-host-has-a-single-monitor But it's possible that VirtualBox is better in this regard than VMWare Workstation. Gili
