[8.0b15x64] Command line history looks different under x64

[Hacker]

I have TC with a black background color. In the 32-bit version, the command line history is shown as a list
- having a black background
- showing all 20 items at the same time (large height).

In the 64-bit version, however, the command line history is shown as a list
- having a white background
- showing only 8 items at any one time and being scrollable.

Expected: 64-bit to look like 32-bit.

Since the list is limited to 20 items, I also think it is a good idea to show the whole list (as in the 32bit version) in stead of a scrollable list.

Confirmed on my side. I didn't attach importance to weird background color, but now I see, it is really a bug.

I can confirm the problem with the 8 lines, but not the problem with the background color.

Mr. Ghisler I think you'd give my ini from the post.

It doesn't reproducible with default settings (and/or colors)

Hello, Christian.

I can confirm the problem with the 8 lines, but not the problem with the background color.

I can.
Total Commander uses light blue-gray as background color and a darker tone of light blue-gray as alternate background color.
The background of the T.C. commandline edit box will be light blue-gray.
This is true for T.C. 8.0ß15 32-bit and 64-bit.
If I use the drop down arrow and drop down the list of remembered commandlines, they wil be printed
+ black on light blue-gray in T.C. 8.0ß15 32-bit
+ black on white in T.C. 8.0ß15 64-bit
This happens on a Server 2008 R2 64-bit, classic theme.
(Hm, reminds me of Hacker's explanation.)

Kind regards,
Karl

I see - it seems that Lazarus cannot apply the custom color to the dropdown part of the Combobox. Sorry, you will probably have to live with that.

Confirm the bug in 8.0β15 and fix in 8.0β16.

10.01.12 Fixed: Command line dropdown list had only 8 visible entries instead of 20 (64)

I can confirm that the TC 8.0b16 64bit version now shows all items in the command history at once, like TC 8.0b16 32bit when run under Windows 7 x64


But TC 8.0b16 32bit run under Windows XP 32bit still uses a scrollable list showing only 5 items at the time - would it be possible to make the 32 bit version work the same way under both OS's ?

Thanks for confirming the fix!

The function to set the list length is probably not supported on XP...
