[solved] BarLimitLines=1 doesn't work in TC 9x

[petermad]

The parameter:

[Buttonbar] BarLimitLines=1

doesn't work in TC 9x any longer - and it is not mentioned in neither the help file or in history.txt that it should be changed, so I guess it is a bug.

The parameter still works. Make sure you have only one [Buttonbar] section in your INI file. (Parameters in a 2nd and further section will be ignored as it seems...)

I have only those sections available in wincmd.ini:

Code: Select all

[Buttonbar], [ButtonbarVertical] (and [ButtonbarCache])

and under [Buttonbar] e.g. the entry Buttonbar=%Commander_Path%\DEFAULT.BAR
and still the command does not work in TC 9.0a.

There is, however several .bar files, eg generated with Ultra TC Editors - Button Bar Editor.
In my opinion this wincmd.ini entry should be applied.

I only have 1 [Buttonbar] section.

But, I found out that BarLimitLines=1 only works if the vertical buttonbar is hidden.

If vertical buttonbar is visible, hide it (right click on it) and restart TC.

I can confirm petermad's findings (for both TC32 and TC64).

As soon as i enable the vertical buttonbar, TC stops respecting the BarLimitLines parameter (no restart of TC necessary).

After disabling the vertical buttonbar again, i need to disable+enable the primary buttonbar or restart TC to make it respect the BarLimitLines parameter again.

Also, disabling+enabling the primary buttonbar makes TC respect the BarLimitLines parameter again even if the vertical buttonbar is still enabled/visible, which indicates that the cause/trigger for the bug is related to whatever happens when the vertical buttonbar is enabled and initialized.

After disabling the vertical buttonbar again,

That's what I meant by writing. "If vertical buttonbar is visible" (initially)

Thanks for the hint about the vertical bar, I will try to fix it.
