Current directory panel font rendering [Solved]

marv-in · Post by *marv-in » 2012-01-06, 18:19 UTC

Hello I found some strange behaviour on current directory panel.
I need to state that this strange behaviour occurs only when option "Show clickable path parts ('breadcrumb bar')" is unchecked (I dont use breadcrumbs).

The strange behaviour is that when panel is initialy drawn, its ok, but when you move several times mouse cursor over this panel, the font of this panel get bolder and crisper with each move.

Here is attached image that illustrates what I mean:

At top its normal state, at bottom it gets messed

I repeat, when I enable breadcrumbs, font rendering on this panel is without problem.

Now I use TC8.0B15 64bit (but I remember this strange font rendering behaviour from very begining of 8.0 builds)
My system is Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Thank you very much for looking at this

Thanks for your report. So far I could not reproduce it. Do you use AeroGlass or the old Windows look? Which font do you use?

Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it.
For me its absolutely reproducible and in case of need I could try to catch this on a video for better understanding.

To your questions - I use aero glass and Segoe UI (8, Normal) as default font.
I also post a screenshot of font setting:

Thank you very much

Hi!

I can reproduce this behaviour with TC 8.0ß15 x64. It doesn't occur with the 32-bit version.

Maybe it's related to the graphics engine (here: Intel G43). However, this wouldn't explain that it only occurs with TC x64.

The font setting doesn't seem to matter. Both Microsoft Sans Serif and Segoe UI show this "ultra" bold text when hovered with the mouse.

Greetings

Gerby, thank you for confirmation. My personal guess is that it have something to do with breadcrumbs, because when I enable it in options, the problem is not imminent.

With 8.0ß16 (x64) the problem is obviously solved.
