Some menus (File, Edit, etc.) are showing up too narrow for me.

It's only sometimes though.

Anyone else seeing this?

[glynor]

It's been fine for me.  I haven't been using it too much yet though!

[raym]

Some menus (File, Edit, etc.) are showing up too narrow for me.

It's only sometimes though.

Anyone else seeing this?

Yep. Can't reproduce consistently but it kinda seems to happen when restoring or re-sizing MC ??

[KingSparta]

I Noticed Starting With 124, now with 125, that right clicking on the listing header (details mode) that MC does not always list a context message (maybe to add fields to the listing) does not show up.

And I Also Noticed When The Tool Tips For A Song In the List Pops Up This Is When You Can Right Click On The Context Menu To Edit The List Fields.

[Mike Noe]

Yeah, I'm noticing the "thin menu" but only on when right clicking when a DVD is playing.

I went back to 124, same thing.  Tried 123 and it was normal.  Looks like it was introduced in 124.

[dcwebman]

Some menus (File, Edit, etc.) are showing up too narrow for me.

I mentioned that in the 123 thread that I saw it happen for the Customize Current View menu in 124.

[Dragyn]

happens here too.

click on file (narrow), move mouse to like edit (normal), back to file .. fine.

[glynor]

Hmmm... I'm really not seeing it.  Can anyone post a screenshot so I can make sure to look for the right thing?

[JimH]

happens here too.

Same here.  Hi, Dave.

[lalittle]

happens here too.

click on file (narrow), move mouse to like edit (normal), back to file .. fine.

I just tried this and saw the issue as well, but when I tried again it wouldn't repeat it.

I can't see ANY pattern to why it sometimes does it and sometimes does not.  All I can say is that after it just did it for me, I simply couldn't get it to do it again.

Screenshot:



It happens quite a few times but with no rhyme or reason that i can determine.

[sithlord0338]

The preset buttons in the customize current view dialog are broken. If you click them nothing happens.  It worked in mc build 12.0.123.

[NickM]

Thin menus are appearing on Right click for me.  Sometimes...

[marko]

Hokay, if I load a playlist, or smartlist, of photos, using thumbnail view, the right click menu is always cropped if more than one file is selected.

-marko

[Jaguu]

Thin menus: same here, started with .124.
Customize current view: presets also blocked here

[lalittle]

The Theater View issues with certain graphics cards remain when the full screen display is set to 1024x768:

1) The "twitching" of the text with a Geforce FX5200.

2) "Blocky" text with a Geforce 6800.  Note that with this issue, I've noticed a very interesting pattern, which is that the further the text goes to the right with any item in the list, the worse the blockiness gets.  In other words, with my main "Audio" list contains the group "Recent Imports - Last 200 Tracks."  The blockiness starts to look really bad with the word "Last," and seems to get worse on the text further to the right.

Thanks for ANY help with this,

Larry

[bytestar]

Yes i see this today also.

Some menus (File, Edit, etc.) are showing up too narrow for me.

It's only sometimes though.

Anyone else seeing this?

[dNj]

this version is still rejecting my new .cue files.  I had to once again reinstall 12.0.120 to import my new .cue files. 

[escaflo]

Edit:
Say so too soon,

It is also happening on my computer in regards to the cutting off of menu.

same here. cutting of menus and presets dont work.

was ripping cd. when finished and opening the cd tray the music that was playing jumped to the next song.

[Jaguu]

The orientation of some images is different in MC12 compared to the view in Windows Explorer or in viewers like IrfanView.

While the image is correct when displayed in  Windows Explorer, the images display left or right rotated in MC12, both as thumbnails and in PN.

[glynor]

Hmmm... I'm really not seeing it.  Can anyone post a screenshot so I can make sure to look for the right thing?

Interesting!

I couldn't see this issue at all last night on either of my machines at home.  Both of these, incidentally:

• AMD K8 CPUs - one is an Athlon 64 3200 and the other is an Opteron 165)
• ATI Graphics - one an AIW X800 XT, the other an X1900 XT
• Neither use (obviously) Intel chipsets - one is nVidia nForce3 (s939) and the other is ATI rd580 (with ULI SB)

Today at work, I see the issue immediately on this machine.  It is:

• Intel Pentium D 940 CPU (Intel i975X - ICH7 chipset)
• nVidia graphics - 7800GTX

Otherwise, they all carry similar software loads.  There are a few minor differences (required work stuff) but all in all they are very similar.

EDIT: Just tried on another machine I have here with an Intel P4 CPU (Dell-brand Intel Chipset) and ATI Graphics and it does not exhibit the issue.

I'm also suspicious that this issue described here (along with the preset issue mentioned above) might be related.

[dcwebman]

Reproduce bug:
1. Go to Playing Now.
2. Go to Audio main button.
3. No matter whether you are in Genres, Artists, or Albums, right-clicking on an album does not bring up the context menu.
4. Switch to another view, i.e. Genres, Artists, or Albums and the right-click works there. Go back to the previous view and it works now.

[matshif]

Can only play one TV channel in version .125, the one which MC has when I start Play TV.

No Problem in version 12.0.123

[bennyd]

connecting my iPod nano to my PC when MC is open, crashes MC.
Even redetecting all devices crashes MC when my iPod is connected

[Yaobing]

Can only play one TV channel in version .125, the one which MC has when I start Play TV.

No Problem in version 12.0.123

How do you generally start playing TV? From the Channels list on TV view, or using keypad, or from a custom TV channels playlist?

[matshif]

Yaobing

Strange! When I use a the toolbar button "Play TV" I have the problem I wrote about, I can't

change to other channel.

Through "TV Tuner" under Drives & Devices it works 

I mailed you log files.

[Yaobing]

I see.

Thanks for reporting it. I will fix it tomorrow.

[park]

How big is the ipod? It should never take that long. My 4gb ipod is synchs quickly. Check the handheld settings. You might have it set to convert all files.

You could also right click on it in the tree and "initialize" it to start afresh.

[bennyd]

left clicking on the "Tools" in the upper left corner of the Tag window does not work anymore, right clicking works in some cases

[bennyd]

- When selecting "Convert Format" when there are no files selected I get the following message:
"% could not find a suitable burner installed on this machine"

- When selecting files of the same format (eg mp3) and the option is selected to convert of the same format, it still fails

[lalittle]

left clicking on the "Tools" in the upper left corner of the Tag window does not work anymore, right clicking works in some cases

I'm seeing the same thing.  I got a response once, but usually clicking there simply does nothing.

3. No matter whether you are in Genres, Artists, or Albums, right-clicking on an album does not bring up the context menu.

For me, this happens always if the file(s) is/are selected before trying to access the right-click context menu. The tree location doesn't matter.

If I right-click a file directly without selecting it first the context menu is available normally.

[eba]

Currently when ripping a CD it does not refresh the view as tracks are ripped (whilst looking at the album within the Audio view scheme).  Even manually clicking refresh does not work, the only way appears to be to move out of the view scheme and back in.

On a related note, is it possible to stop it from jumping to recently ripped after finishing ripping?  I've usually found it myself within Audio by then, and am playing!  The same goes for Recently Imported.  I never use the playlists at all, so to have them jumped to when I'm doing something else is somewhat irritating.

With regards to the thin menus, and not being able to edit library fields in the current build, I get both issues (every time - whatever menu I select first appears 1-letter-thin), on an Intel based laptop with built-in graphics.

[lalittle]

Currently when ripping a CD it does not refresh the view as tracks are ripped (whilst looking at the album within the Audio view scheme). 

I noticed that neither the AW nor the main window (which shows all the tracks) showed the "rip" progress or percentage during a rip just now.  The "Encoding" progress and percentage still showed, but while a track was "ripping," I saw no progress bar movement, and no percentage.  A few tracks later, this information was once again showing.

Alex, not sure if you were agreeing or had additional information, but I was referring to the upper part of the library view.

[Mr ChriZ]

I've just attached a surround system to my computer.
I've set MC to 5.1 Surround, but Cloning each channel, so we can have music
at both ends of our computer room.
I'm still trying to figure exactly what's causing it, but
I think it's everytime MC changes track, I get a Run Time Error,
terminating MC.

Edit: It's not changing track, it's changing Albums (And/Or Stopping).

[Alex B]

Alex, not sure if you were agreeing or had additional information, but I was referring to the upper part of the library view.

MC does not show the right-click menu at all if the file is already selected (left-clicked) before right-clicking. This happens in any details view. It doesn't matter where - Playing Now, Audio, Video, playlists etc are all similar.

[glynor]

As I discussed here, something is quite borked with Context Menus in general with this build, but which only seems to affect certain systems.

It would possibly be helpful if those of us who see the "thin menus" issue discussed above could also check the issue discussed in that thread.  I suspect they're related...

[Mr ChriZ]

DSP Studio doesn't have an icon on the Taskbar.

[Alfie2]

Getting more right-click issues here. Cannot select several items and then rightclick, if I only select one item then its ok. Same issue occurs in any view, list or thumbnails.
