Title: Tables partly cover each other on Table tab
Post by: Morina on February 09, 2015, 02:14:23 PM
I have a strange problem with the Tables tab on one of the computers I use TTD on.
When I have several tables in my tournament and not have the window wide enough the second row of tables covers the top row of table from just below table 7. On my home computer it works fine, it looks like this:

On the computer at our club it isn't working good at all. Since I haven't got any picture of it I have manipulated a picture so you get an idea about how it looks. Here is the edited picture:

Is there a setting I have messed up on the computer at the club or what is wrong?
As it is I can't do anything with seat 8 and 9, not drag the players, not make the seat unavailable and so on. Nothing happens if you click on the tables and you can't drag them anywhere.
It is a bit annoying and we have to do workarounds to solve what ever we want to do with the seats.

Is the Windows text size increased on the club computer?  That would explain the strange behavior.  In the current and previous versions of the software, the space allotted for a table is computed based on font size.  If you increase Windows text size, the TD still thinks the font size is a specific height, but it is actually larger, and thus each table will take up more pixels in height.  The TD doesn't allocate enough vertical pixels, so the tables overlap.

The next version has been overhauled to allow for different font sizes, so this won't be an issue whether you increase the Windows text size or use the TD app to choose a different font size.  But there's really no workaround in the current and previous versions, except to reduce the Windows text size back to 100%.

Yes, the Windows text style is indeed increased.
Thanks for the explanation and I looking forward for the next release then. :)
