Instructor,
Windows XP (still much in use, and popular!) has a long-standing bug in how it handles gridlines in the ListView control. This affects, for example:
- the Plugins dialog in AkelPad
- the Macros plugin dialog
- others - Hotkeys?, etc. that use the ListView control with gridlines
I understand (?) the bug has been fixed in Vista and Windows 7, etc. Behaviour is that when scrolling, the repainting of the lines is 1 pixel out, so they either disappear or get scrambled, depending on the window size.
I had previously (2009) posted a comment about this bug
here, but did not know at the time that it could be
fixed relatively easily.
I have devised a
fix which I implemented in a little AutoIt (scripting language) program. Another programmer also implemented my
fix in a C++ file manager program - it works!
Let me know if you think it is worth implementing - I will PM you with the procedure (not difficult - I am not a good programmer, but even I understand how it works).
Quick question re: the forum - I have a signature in my profile which used to be inserted in posts, now it is NOT. Is this behaviour changed?
