-Inconsistency in copy dialog 32/64 bit

[Dalai]

Hi there,

I noticed a small issue with the copy dialog but I don't know if this was reported before.

Steps to reproduce:

• Start TC 32 bit with fresh.ini
• Press F5 or F6 on any file
• Press the Options button to expand the dialog
• Result: The top left corner stays where it is, the dialog only expands downwards
• Start TC 64 bit with fresh.ini
• Repeat steps 2 and 3 from above
• Result: The top left corner of the copy dialog moves some pixels upwards, or in other words, the copy dialog is centered again relative to the main window.

I don't know which behaviour is intentional but it's inconsistent. I don't like dialogs moving by themselves so I think the behaviour in the 32 bit version is better.

Can be reproduced in TC 8.01 and TC 8.5 beta2.

Regards
Dalai

32 and 64 bit TCs are built with totally different toolchains and the behavior of standard controls in these toolchains can be also different.

Yes, I know.

[...] and the behavior of standard controls in these toolchains can be also different.

Yes, I'm aware of that. This issue is about positioning of the copy dialog: TC 32 bit - copy dialogs stays where it is while expanding, TC 64 bit - copy dialog is centered again while expanding.

It's not a big issue as there is a button in the copy dialog to always expand the options. I just noticed this little glitch while playing around with the current beta.

Unfortunately such small differences between 32-bit and 64-bit version cannot be avoided. They not only use completely different compilers, but even the visual component library is completely different (32-bit: Borland VCL, 64-bit: Lazarus LCL).
