Hi Ton,
I have committed this along with a similar change to ensure that
changing the font does the same.
Thanks for the research, testing and patch.

Hello Bill,
Hi Ton,
I added 2 lines is my local copy to ensure left alignment of the Band
Activity window.
When a decode string exceeds the available width of the view port,
the scroll bar appears, but the window is not automatically scrolled
to the right anymore.
So the Time info remains visible.
When the horizontal and / or vertical scroll bar is used and new
decodes are added, the text is added to the bottom (as before) and
the text is visible from 1st character of the last line.
I was puzzled that the move to StartOfLine did not work and found by
trial and error that it would do the job if preceded by a move Up (1
line).
Well done for finding the magic incantation for cursor positioning. I
do not fully understand the move position operations in this situation
and I think the strange behaviour is something to do with the document
contents being a table.
I will try a few more tests with your proposed change but I think it
is OK, I will commit it shortly.
void DisplayText::_insertText(const QString text, const QString bg)
{
QString s = "<table border=0 cellspacing=0 width=100%><tr><td
bgcolor=\"" +
bg + "\"><pre>" + text.trimmed () + "</pre></td></tr></table>";
moveCursor (QTextCursor::End);
append (s);
moveCursor (QTextCursor::End);
moveCursor (QTextCursor::Up); // pa0tbr
moveCursor (QTextCursor::StartOfLine); // pa0tbr
}
It solved my issue.

Hello Bill,
Thanks again for a fine explanation.
I had a look at the country list and noted that some 53 country
names are 'too long'.
It won't be easy to abbreviate these country names, such that it
remains clear for everybody.
Leaving the view port scrolled to the far left looks like the way
to go because then the user can scroll to see the full name.
I didn't have much time yet but I like to explore that a bit
further. I let you know if I succeed or not.

The country list is taken from a standard CTY.DAT file (it is
embedded
in the application) which you can override with a user
version if you wish.
The extra abbreviation as it stands now is:
// do some obvious abbreviations
countryName.replace ("Islands", "Is.");
countryName.replace ("Island", "Is.");
countryName.replace ("North ", "N. ");
countryName.replace ("Northern ", "N. ");
countryName.replace ("South ", "S. ");
countryName.replace ("East ", "E. ");
countryName.replace ("Eastern ", "E. ");
countryName.replace ("West ", "W. ");
countryName.replace ("Western ", "W. ");
countryName.replace ("Central ", "C. ");
countryName.replace (" and ", " & ");
countryName.replace ("Republic", "Rep.");
countryName.replace ("United States", "U.S.A.");
countryName.replace ("Fed. Rep. of ", "");
countryName.replace ("French ", "Fr.");
countryName.replace ("Asiatic", "AS");
countryName.replace ("European", "EU");
countryName.replace ("African", "AF");
which is in displaytext.cpp. They seemed to be good choices after
reviewing a current CTY.DAT file. More similar unambiguous
replacement
could be added.

You are correct that is potentially a complex calculation, but my
problem with truncation is that there is no indication that
truncation
has happened, the horizontal scroll bar is the idiomatic way of
indicating truncation of a text field. I did have a brief
attempt at
ensuring that the scroll view port is left scrolled as far to
the left
as possible after new decodes but hit some issues with
implementation.
If you think this would help I can have another go at that.
I have recently improved the ability to set the decoded text
font fixing
some defects. You may find that selecting smaller font for
decoded text
is your best option.
I have plans to make the activity windows into proper table
views as the
current implementation using a text edit widget is not the
most suitable
for displaying this sort of information. Text edits provide a
vast
number of features that we don't need but complicate
populating and
manipulating them a great deal. A table view will allow user
setting of
column width and even hiding columns. A table view would even
allow
wrapping within a column if we wished or a tool tip to
display extra
information about the decode line.
Another option with a table view could be to have only a
single activity
window with a "filter" button that filters it to decodes and
Tx messages
on the current Rx frequency i.e. the same window could then
double as a
band activity and on frequency activity monitor.
