Set the system settings for large fonts, high contrast for low visibility accessibility. MessageBoxes do not show on the screen properly with these settings. It appears that the message box window is fully on the screen as the X button to close the window is visible at the upper right corner, but the contents of the message box dialog are being cut off. With a large amount of text for the message (text needs to wrap more than one line) some of the text and buttons are not completely visible on the right side. The message box that we see it with is a Yes/No message box with the text: "Apply an existing style will replace any changes you may have made to customize the selected element with the style's format settings. Are you sure you want to do this?"
We'd like this to be fixed for 3.2 if possible.
Setting milestone to 3.2 M6 for investigation (so it doesn't slip through the cracks...)
moving dialog bugs to 3.2 milestone. Will move to individual milestones (RCx) as they are worked on
I tried to replicate this with extra large fonts on Windows XP and low screen res (800 x 600), and still could not get it to happen. I am going to need a screen snap of the problem along with information about the screen resolution and the Windows Theme being used. I used "Windows XP Style" buttons with "Extra Large Fonts" and "Silver" color scheme. (I assume that color scheme is not the issue since it's a sizing problem). I'll attach a screen snap of what I saw
Created attachment 38570 [details] screen shot of dialog with large fonts - no problem observed
Still awaiting info from bug reporter. Note that we are running out of runway for RC2 and it will be increasingly difficult to approve fixes after RC2. cc'ing McQ for FYI.
Created attachment 39548 [details] Screenshot of the problem Here's a screenshot of the problem we're seeing. Could this be because of how we're creating the dialog?
The above screenshot was with High Contrast, Large Fonts and 800x600 screen size.
I've done some more testing and the problem only occurs when using the accessiblity option "High Contrast". I tried it just using 800x600 with Extra Large Fonts and it behaves normally like you've seen. But when I select High Contrast as well, I see the problem shown in the screenshot I supplied. Even then it works sometimes. If I had our application (based on Eclipse) open when I changed the settings, the dialog behaved normally and the text and dialog wrapped properly, but if I closed and reopened the app, the problem would occur as shown in the screenshot.
I tried using High Contrast/Large Fonts and High Contrast/Extra Large Fonts in 800x600 mode and still do not see the problem. I tried it in both Eclipse 3.2 (latest build) and Eclipse 3.1.2, in case it was something that has already been fixed. I made sure to try it in two cases: - change the accessibility options when Eclipse is already open - change the accessibility options first, then launch Eclipse. I'm not really sure where to go from here. Either there are subtle differences in the fonts/settings we are using, or there is something going on in your application. Could you try to reproduce the problem in a standard Eclipse SDK? At least that would rule out it being a problem in your app. I will attach a test class that simulates the message.
Created attachment 39566 [details] snippet to recreate the dialog here is a snippet that recreates the dialog. You will need to import it into a Java project in Eclipse and run it as an SWT application. If this snippet fails in your setup, then we can rule out your application and focus on what is different about your setup and mine.
Tod, I cc'ed you on this bug in case any of this rings a bell.
this will not make RC2...tagging 3.2 for now to keep it on the radar, but may not be fixed if we can't reproduce.
I'm going to have to close this one as "works for me." Please reopen if you are able to reproduce the problem in 3.2 with the snippet attached to this bug, or can provide further information as to how to reproduce.
