Right click menu in arabic???

djinoui

I also noticed the same kind of problem (Windows XP too). Not arabic but a weird font, so I suppose it's a font problem, not a language problem.

I'll post a screenshot as soon as I get my hands on this computer.

Here it is...

That is certanly much easier to understand that arabic!!!!

:)

I uninstalled it several times and installed different versions, but still have problems with right click. There is still something that provoques this and it is not being solved by reinstallations.

mark? how to complete delete every data stored by isadora in order to perform a fully new installation?

mark

Dear Camilozk,

Well, I can tell you that reinstalling is not going to solve this bug. This is something wrong with the way I programmed Isadora, not a setting in a preference file, etc.

@DusX have you had any chance to repro this problem?

I will look into the code for the menu drawing stuff and see what I can find out.

Best Wishes,
Mark

Dear All,

I think I might have found the problem -- a variable that would be uninitialized if the system did not correctly report a default menu font; this would result in a potentially random font being chosen for the menus. I've got a version I'll get to @camilozk to see if ti solves the problem for him.

Best,
Mark

DusX

great.. I was not able to reproduce this locally on any of my systems.

camilozk

still the white horizontal bar mark...

mark

Can you be specific?

1) Is the font problem fixed?

2) Do any items show up in the menu?

3) Is this left after you release the mouse button?

Best,

Mark

camilozk

the font problem was replaced with what you see in the screen. an horizontal white bar, no items. just this.

it appears when you release the right click mouse button, as if it was the "right click menu"

thanks!

camilozk

you can see the first example of this from when I installed 1.5.3f14 the 22nd of april and I also posted it

:)

Dear @camilozk,

Well, the big problem for me is that I don't have any way to try this on XP. Without being able to work on the native operating system, I'm not sure how I can solve this.

I guess I'll take another look and see if can make another guess.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best Wishes,

Mark

camilozk

I understand mark.

the thing is that everything was working ok in the past, and suddenly something change. now even if I go back to previous releases, or newer releases, I always have the problem.

I will be waiting for some news. thanks

camilozk

ey hallo!

it might be not the best moment to reopen this case, but I have to communicate that with v2.0 recently installed, I still have no "right click menu"

do you think it is possible to find a solution? otherwise, I will have to reinstall the whole OS

thanks!

I have a XP test station, I can give B4 an install and see what I get.
Can you tell me what language + keyboard settings you have. Hopefully I can set them to match.

camilozk

info attached.

remember that mark believes that has nothing to do with language settings.

Ah, I see. I had missed that you have a non english setup.
I will switch things around and try anyway... can't hurt, right.

mark

@DusX - yes, please try to recreate because I could not do it. If you can get a recreate, maybe I can find a solution.
