What's the problem?

[LonerD]

No problem, but look wrong.
On first screen popup menu without separator - tabulation approximately equal to one space. On second screen - popup menu with separator - tabulation a lot more.
Why? Bug or feature?

May a left alignment vs. right alignment ?

[LonerD]

In main menu right alignment.
Windows 7 SP1 x64.

Apropos - why the same menu in the same TC8 alignment left in WinXP and right in Win7? It bug or feature?

Compare menu in Notepad in these two OSes.

I can confirm that there is more space to the RIGHT of "Num /" when using:

Code: Select all

POPUP "Menu2"
MENUITEM "Get Selection from Mem&ory\tNum /", cm_RestoreSelection
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
END_POPUP

as compared to using:

Code: Select all

POPUP "Menu1"
MENUITEM "Get Selection from Mem&ory\tNum /", cm_RestoreSelection
END_POPUP

This is on Windows XP 32bit with TC 8.0b17a tested Luna Theme

On Windows 7 x64 the space is the same in both 64bit and 32 bit TC 8.0b17a tested with both Aero and Luna theme.

Compare menu in Notepad in these two OSes.

And compare menu in TC7. It looks the same under XP and 7 - with left aligment.
Apparently, from TS8 was deleted a piece of code responsible for the alignment of the same menu under different operating systems.

I don't understand.
Under Win7 x64 - you confirmed my screenshots or no?

And compare menu in TC7. It looks the same under XP and 7 - with left aligment.

Right. That's exactly why it was fixed in version 8.0.

Look at hotkeys in the context menu of SyncDirs tool in TC7 — they're right-aligned, because controlled by the OS. The main menu, to the contrary, is drawn by TC, that's why it was left-aligned in TC7 (TC just did not know it should right-align hotkeys in Vista+).

Just so there is no misunderstanding what I see:

Under Windows XP 32bit

BTW If I click you links in the first post in FireFox, Seamonkey Google Chrome and Safari, .html is added to the link, and I am taken to a site with russian sluts.

IF I Use IE8 or Opera, your images are shown as expected, and the same are they, if I copy and paste the link into the address bar of the other browsers - Could this forum be contaminated?

Hm… I confirm the observation (tested with Opera and FF), but the forum is not the source of the problem. If I copy-paste the link into FF, the picture is loaded. But when I press F5, it is redirected to the HTML page with the same picture framed by all those ads. I checked with Proxomitron, and it's fastpic itself that initiates redirection (returns 302 HTTP code).

I have checked what the reason is: the horizontal line is NOT owner-drawn, but the text is. Windows seems to calculate the width of the texts by itself for ALL lines when there is at least one not owner-drawn line, and Windows and TC get different results. I will increase the space a bit in my own calculations, but I will not be able to get the exact same value as Windows does.

01.02.12 Fixed: Main menu: Increased distance between command and hotkey a bit when there are no separators (32/64)

Confirmed that the distance is increased in TC 8.0b18.
