Unexpected Behavior?

[Rich_Winsor]

I have experienced this sporadically but finally

took the time to isolate the problem... at least in

one DBX. It may be occurring in others as well.

Can anyone else confirm this behavior? 

 

If I select a Roof Plane and open the Roof Plane

Specification DBX there are 3 of the items in the

drop down menu that exhibit this behavior.

 

When I open the DBX this is what I get. The 

drop down menu items and the usual OK,

Cancel or Help buttons at the bottom of the 

DBX.

 

However if I select any of the three items 

I indicated in the drop down menu I get a

truncated version of the DBX that doesn't

show the three exit options. 

 

Shadow Boards gives a DBX with the exit

option buttons just barely visible.

 

While in the other two the exit options don't

appear at all so you have to hit enter to make

your changes or the exit "X" to leave the DBX. 

 

Also once you select one of the three dysfunctional

choices all the other ones exhibit the same behavior

if you return to any of them.

 

Screen real estate must be cheap in Idaho. But not

everybody has the luxury of working with multiple

monitor setups. Can we at least limit the size of the

DBXs to fit on the screen?

Rich, all seems normal (as expected) on my end.

I suspect that it is related to your display resolution and scale.  If you can increase your screen resolution, that might solve the problem.  If you are running at a scale that is more than 100%, you might try setting it to 100% and see if you still get the problem. 

 

In either case, you might want to report it to Chief as a bug but I'm pretty sure they will tell you it's all your own fault for messing with their toolbar buttons.

All good possibilities except for one thing.

Everything works as it should in X15.

Something has changed in Chief in X16.

I don't have the time or inclination to futz with this now

but something definitely changed between versions.

Nothing in my computer has.
