General Tab overlapping

Not sure if this has been shown before but here is a screenshot

Yea, That seems to happen when you resize the window to a smaller size and the labels just trail along with the new size. Maybe they should stay in the same place, or at least, give the same behavior to all labels.

Yes...Yes......"neowin" :shifty:

[HoochieMamma]

Same problem still exists in 1.2

[Keloran]

the problem only exists if you have the window shrunk beyond the default size

[1c3d0g]

No, I have to disagree with you here, Keloran. If you have set the High DPI setting in Windows, the text still overlaps in some areas. And I'm running @ 1920x1200, so if anyone has loads of desktop space available, it ought to be me. Even fully maximized the problem is still exhibited by the latest µTorrent version. Let me show you a screenshot...they say an image is worth a thousand words (text overlap is underlined with red):

Maybe the label shouldnt expand when window size reaches certain width/length and have toolip text take over.

It can also happen if you use a large DPI Setting. I have a Dell D800 and the LCD is set to 1920x1200 screen resolution, and in order to read, I need to set the DPI setting to Large size (120 DPI), which is 125% normal size. Not even resizing the app window will correct it. Other applications I've seen also have these problems.

@abbad0n: Yeah, been reported several times before (*hint*1c3d0g's post above*hint*) =P

Actually I started writing my post before 1c3d0g put up their post, but got sidetracked by real life. When I came back and finished my post, I then saw the other entries. Damn space time continuum.

lol happens to me sometimes too xP

Windows should've defaulted to this setting (120 DPI), then we wouldn't be having these problems. It seems people with bad eye-sight always get the wrong end of the stick...

[Ultima]

Er, if Windows defaulted to 120 DPI, then what about all the people who have lower resolutions O.o

[abbad0n]

Too bad their isn't any DPI detection in µTorrent.

[1c3d0g]

Er, if Windows defaulted to 120 DPI, then what about all the people who have lower resolutions O.o

Then they could simply switch to a lower DPI, since their version is already optimized to display stuff without overlapping.

@Piak: We've already seen a screenshot =|

@1c3d0g: More people actually use the lower DPIs than higher DPIs, so I'm unsure why a majority has to switch their DPIs instead of the other way around. The reason this problem was overlooked was because less people use higher DPIs (including the devs) =P

Using the latest beta 1.2.1 as I type. I'm facing this bug on a 19" screen with 120 DPI and resolution at 1600x1200. I really hope the developers would fix this.

[1c3d0g]

Shankar: same here. :| They'll fix it eventually, we just need to be patient.

That's good to know. I've oodles of patience if I knew that a fix would come eventually (very much preferably in this decade, though). :-)

OTOH, I've encountered several shareware/freeware authors who, when told about this bug, simply blew me off with a variation on the following:

"Tough luck. It's your fault for using large DPI when 9 out of 10 users have no such complaints. Get back in line or use something else." That, or I get the silent/ignore treatment. I can't decide which is worse. Yes, I know that especially in the case of freeware, the developers are traditionally held to the "no obligations since they don't get paid" position. Obviously, I disagree. There are ethical/moral standards and freeware is no way inferior to paidware in concept.

Just my 2 $0.02 :-)

[saboteur]

I have 120 DPI, 1152x864, and got overlapping even when uTorrent's window are full-screen.

Is this bug will be fixed?

[Firon]

Eventually it will be fixed, but it's not really a priority at the moment. ludde does know about it though, and he's at least thinking about how to fix it.
