JMRI (5.11.2+R741bb1427e) UI geometry weirdnesses.


 

I should start out stating I am using Linux with a very "old school" window
manager setup (FVWM in MWM mode). I like to have multiple windows on the
screen positioned *and* sized to fit often side-by-side and sometimes one over
the other. (I know that this is probably different from what other people do.)

Some of JMRI windows have odd problems with internal geometry management, with
some elements being displayed wrong or badly sometimes.

Most of the problems is with LCC windows, partitularly with the CDI editor
cutting off the botton of CDI sections when the CDI editor is sized to be
somewhat narrow and parts of the OpenLCB "send frame" window losing some of
its buttons, again when either short and/or narrow.

Making these windows large -- eg full width and/or full height tends to cure
these issues.

I do have another thing that is a bit of a annoyance: can there be some way to
alter the OpenLCB "send frame" window to get rid of or hide some of the stuff
on it. Yes, it is a useful debugging tool, but it is like a Swiss Army knife
with ALL of the tools extended all at once all of the time. This makes using
it awkward and combersome to use one tool. All of the other tools are "in
the way".
