High DPI open issues

Revision as of 11:33, 23 February 2016 by Unnamed Poltroon (Talk)

Open issues for bug 399786 in http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git/log/?h=slakkimsetti/HighDPIChangesforNeon

Problem Platform Owner Status
1 Status line . The position of right side status like writable/gc condition not appearing correctly
2 ImageBasedFrame from platform UI nor rendering correctly
3 In tasklist view the help button is out of the task view boundary
4 The error icon for compilation unit is not correct if the class is abstract also the icon is cut on the top and bottom
5 Splash screen is clipped - size wrong
6 Dynamic change of scaling factor: SWT should adapt automatically GTK3
7 At 200% zoom, StyledText#computeSize(..), Link#computeSizeInPixels(...), etc. often throw an IAE. Example: Search > Java... . The problem is that clients expect TextLayout#getWidth() to return -1 if wrapping is disabled. This should:


1. be documented in the API
2. be fixed in the implementations of TextLayout#getWidth() and TextLayout#setWidth(int)

GTK3 200%
8 Would be good to have a way to enforce a given zoom level for debugging purposes. E.g. on Ubuntu 14.04, I couldn't set the scale factor to 2 when I only had a 1680x1050 display attached. I hacked DPIUtil#setDeviceZoom(int) to add a system property "org.eclipse.swt.internal.deviceZoom", but this still left the rendered fonts unzoomed. All
9 APIs: eliminate all unnecessary API additions like TextLayout#getWidthInPixels() GTK3
