Re: 5.1 UI feedback

 

See attached image for windows.

There is something very odd going on with some of the dialogs where it
looks like a control is constantly being refreshed as though it is in
some kind of event loop.  Did you make any changes to DIALOG_SHIM that
could cause this?  It is the most noticeable in the schematic plot
dialog page size selection drop down control.

All dialogs that have text in the dialog button sizer look terrible on
windows.  The text is way too big and messes up the button sizer.  I try
to avoid using anything but the standard text size in controls.  They
never seem to be consistent between platforms.  I would prefer if you
find a better place for this text.  Maybe a static text control at the
top of dialog or possible the title bar.  See fp-props-dialog.png.

There are quite a few dialogs that have incorrect padding in the
standard button sizer.  I'm sure I fixed most (all) of these before we
branched stable 5.  See change-fp-dialog.png.
