Controls misaligned in "Find Files" dialog

Post by *astrotzky »

There are two visual problems with this dialog box:
1. The "Search in subdirectories" combo-box is over the separator line (too low).
2. The controls under the "Find text" combo-box are over that combo-box (too high).

This screenshot shows it better.

It doesn't matter too much for me, but it makes TC look unprofessional (and I really don't want that).

Strange, not here - what Windows version? XP with classic theme? Windows 98?

:) Good evening,

• I use a classic Win 9x theme too, and I confirm : The “Search in sub-dirs…” combobox is touching the separator,
it could be at least one pixel above.

- I checked this by blowing-up a capture x16 with a grid (mesh 1x1 at this scale)…

Hello,

I use Windows XP Pro SP2 (english edition) fully patched. The "theme" is Windows Classic (you can see from the screenshot).
In fact I disabled the Themes service.

And I agree. It is strange. The problem is on my home computer. At work I use the same configuration, but no problem there (the controls are perfectly aligned).
Really strange.

Thanks for your reply. I couldn't reproduce the problem with XP classic theme, but I will add 1 pixel each so there will be no more problem.

Re-checked for beta 4. The original reported problem was solved but a new one (not so noticeable and not very hard to solve) was introduced instead.
I think that you moved the check boxes down by 1 pixel but forget to resize the dialog to make it 1 pixel taller. Because of that, the "Find files NOT containing the text" now doesn't fit entirely in the dialog.
Another screenshot should make things clearer.

Hmm, I did make it a bit larger, but probably not enough. I will add one more pixel.
