Description Tod Creasey CLA 2005-05-31 09:27:28 EDT
RC1

In High Contrast mode you cannot see any of the entries in the Assignments table
of the Keys Preference page.

To set up High Contrast select the High Contrast settings in Control Panel ->
Accessibility Options -> Display

What happens if you resize the preference dialog?
Comment 3 Tod Creasey CLA 2005-05-31 11:00:28 EDT
You can't - it is already full screen
Comment 4 Douglas Pollock CLA 2005-05-31 11:08:28 EDT
Then what is the maximum height and width allowed in a preference page?  You
seem to have a very particular set-up that you're testing too, which defines a
maximum size for preference pages.  Is there an accessibility document somewhere
that defines this maximum size?

I believe the keys preference page is one of the largest (perhaps the "Text
Editor" preference page is larger).
Comment 5 Tod Creasey CLA 2005-05-31 11:11:21 EDT
Yes. We always test on Windows XP with High Contrast mode on a 1152x768 monitor.
We are still determining the legal wording for an official statement.

Text Editor has a bug logged for it too
Comment 6 Douglas Pollock CLA 2005-05-31 11:14:13 EDT
Could you tell me what the maximum size for a preference page is?

Moving Dougs bugs
Comment 8 Tod Creasey CLA 2006-05-30 15:13:23 EDT
The maximum size for the window is 1152x768 pixels and the default font in High Contrast is 18 point. It is 8 point in the default setting. 

That means we need reduce the dialog to a maximum 512 x 340 pixels in regular windows. Given that the tree takes up some space (about 25%) shooting for 375x340 as your maximum is about right.

Most people solve this by having optional scrollbars around thier main composite (as you do on the other keybindings page).

Using 3.3 M3, 1152x864 resolution.

Tod, I am not sure how (maybe the minimum resolution changed snice 3.1), but this bug appears to be magically fixed now or at least, not as bad as originally described.  Do you concur?
Comment 11 Tod Creasey CLA 2006-12-04 14:23:11 EST
Yes - it was likely fixed up due to some rework that went on in 3.1.
