Build 367 Edit Dictionaries

Postby Alec » Mon Nov 26, 2012 1:47 pm

Alas, the Edit Dictionaries bug that I reported for Build 353 is still there in Build 367. The dialogue box is extremely wide and impossible to make narrower. The error appears to be in the EXE file, because substituting that file for an earlier version (without changing any of the other files in Build 367) fixes the problem.

No changes has been made in this dialog template between builds 333 and 353. Try to start GoldenDict as portable, without any dictionaries, and check this dialog.

I started the Build 367 as portable, without any dictionaries. Without doing anything else, I clicked Edit ... Dictionaries. After a pause of 2 or 3 seconds, the dialogue box appeared. It was nearly three times the width of the screen. It was possible to adjust its height, but not its width. This happened on both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows 7.

Alec, are you trying with a fresh install from https://github.com/goldendict/goldendic ... or-Windows ?
I have also Windows 7 64-bit and I don't experience the mentioned issue: either building from Git repository or replacing the exe and DLLs of my portable version that I use everyday it works just fine.

I think I've identified what is causing the problem, but not how to fix it. In Build 367, the Edit ... Dictionaries ... Groups ... window is expanding horizontally to be wide enough for all my groups. It refuses to let me make it narrower and does not show the left and right arrows that normally appear in the top right of the window to scroll through the groups.

I have a lot of groups, because I need them.

Taking a completely clean copy of Build 367, I installed a few dictionaries and then started to create Groups to sort them into.

There was no problem as long as there were only a few groups: the left and right arrows were present and worked normally.

I then created more groups; the window stayed the same size and the left and right arrows were visible and worked correctly ... until I closed down that session.

When I restarted Build 367, and opened the Edit ... Dictionaries ... Groups ... window, the arrows had disappeared, the window opened wide enough for all the tabs to be visible, and it was impossible to make it narrower. This meant, of course, that the left and right arrows did not appear, because the window was permanently wide enough not to need them ... but too wide to use sensibly.

Is this a case of Build 367 being a little too helpful?
