Selected Search String Garbled
« on: April 17, 2003, 07:53:53 am »

From Nila:

Only bug you really HAVE to get fixed before release is the search text when it's highlighted - it's still totally illedgible and it just totally doesn't do the product any justice.


We can't reproduce this.  Can anyone give a screenshot or some more details?

Any way to make it start / stop happening? (skin, color scheme, etc.)

Thanks for any help.

I reported this quite a while back. I had screenshots of it and everything. Still do, actually, but I don't currently have anyplace to post them. I could email them to you, though.

I thought it had stopped happening, though. But I see it's still there.

Basically, choose any of the Auto Smartlists, right click on one of the search terms and choose "Edit by typing". The selected text is unreadable.

Doof,
I just tried 4 or 5 and didn't see a problem.

Are they the presets?  Or did you create them?

I've just tried this and I can't reproduce the problem as you describe Doof.  On my PC the selected text is highlighted in dark grey and the text is shown in black.  The text also gets changed, for example Sort:random becomes ~sort=random.

I'm using Windows XP Professional with the color scheme set to silver.  This may be important as I know in the software I support we have had problems with users changing the default Windows colours for various items. Our programmers had assumed people were using the default blue scheme in XP. When Windows was changed to silver, one piece of black text became white which meant the text couldn't be read.

Oh -- it's XP's ClearType font handling that's getting us.

Look for a fix soon.
