Re: Edit dialog boxes do not open with full width

 

Vince,

For future reference, use the "Copy to clipboard" button to get the system console text. ?Screenshots don't zoom well and the text cannot be copied.

Since you are running a Mac Studio, that means you have an external monitor. ?What is it? ?Also, go to "Help -> Context". ?Use the "Copy to clipboard" button and paste the content. ?That should tell us what the display looks like to Java.

Make note of the "storage identify" line. ?The user-interface.xml file is located within that directory which is in the profile directory at the user files location. ?That file contains a number of GUI settings, including window location and sizes. ?

OK, clean start.
?
  1. Wiped out /Applications/JMRI and /Users/Vince/Library/Preferences/JMRI.
  2. Re-installed 5.10
  3. Started JMRI for the first time
  4. It creates My_JMRI_Railroad and opens the skinny settings window.
  5. I stretch the settings window
  6. Added a LocoNet simulator connection
  7. Allow it to restart JMRI.
  8. Open the settings window - it looks fine (it remembered the size I set it to)
  9. Go to Tools -> Tables -> Turnouts
  10. Add a LocoNet turnout LT333
  11. Click the Edit button on the line for that turnout in the table (it's the only line, of course).
  12. It's a skinny edit window. I stretch it out until the layout is correct.
  13. Added a comment
  14. Clicked Apply and OK.
  15. The table now reflects the comment I added (good)
  16. Click edit again and get the skinny window again (it did not remember the size I stretched it to)
  17. Open the console log - it's a skinny window
  18. Stretch the window out far enough for no line breaks.
  19. Close the window.
  20. Reopen the console window - it remembered the size.
  21. Here's the log (no errors):

This should all have been done with a fresh JMRI installation. No new folders, no extra profiles. Most non-UI things seem to work. For fun, I opened the Monitor LocoNet window. It first appears as a skinny window but I stretched it and it retains its size after closing and re-opening and also quitting and restarting JMRI. Pushed the State button on the table a few times and the right message appear in the monitor window, FWIW.
?
The problem is so consistent - seems like it's one of those "simple once you know what it is" things. But I can't think of anything else to look at or try.
