Wonky display when resizing file "properties" window
« on: July 04, 2021, 07:28:26 PM »
Hi Scott-
Some more consistent peculiar behavior.
It looks like two similar but separate issues.
When displayng the "properties" window of a loaded file and then maximizing (or resizing horizontally), some of the contents on the left side disappear or get blocked when the window width becomes larger than about 1350 pixels. This doesn't seem to block the  "file information" box, but something (like the appearance of an unused control) can be seen going on in the left margin space.

Horizontal resizing beyond about 2200 pixels (on my system) results in "Run-time error '6': Overflow"
This always occurs. The symptoms fit an integer overflow issue when expressing the windows width in finer system units (twips?).

Interesting, thanks for the report!  My laptop only goes to 1920 so I can't test the 2200 width.  Will have to figure out another way.

I don't see any wonkiness when maximizing, but maybe it's not quite wide enough on my machine.

Thanks as always!

I believe the the overflow error can be recreated by making the properties window as wide as possible, moving it left past the edge of the screen, then stretching it wider to the right. Although, admittedly, that particular sequence is not likley to ever be used.
