Bugzilla – Bug 1403
Some data in Timer Record dialogs is wrongly offset

Created attachment 674 [details] Linux TR Progress dialog fault On Mac and on Linux the Timer Record Progress dialog shows the "Duration" data incorrectly offset to the left. Additionally on Mac the "Waiting for Start" dialog incorrectly offsets left the data for "Recordung duration and "Scheduled to stop at". Does not appear to affect Windows (tested on W10) See attachments. And before anyone complains that I am not "uuthorised" to assign bus to people - Steve, who noticed this first on Linux, asked me to assign it to him once I had logged it.

Mark Young posted a possible solution https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/145 creating a flag which if set allows a string to be laid out in two columns.
(In reply to Gale Andrews from comment #3) So are we going to pull Mark's solution into the alpha nightlies. I tested a testbuild for Mark that he provided on my W10 laptop - and it looked fine.

James finds the code too verbose so Mark has closed https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/145 . "Git" keyword removed.
Have now raised PR 147 https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/147 Windows binary build available at http://audacity.tip2tail.scot/builds/20160720-tip2tail-A.zip Code has been tidied and no longer uses specially constructed strings.
Thanks Mark. Status set to REOPENED because we can only use DEVEL - FIX MADE if a pull request has actually been merged.
Another pull request from Mark here: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/159
(In reply to Gale Andrews from comment #8) Committed with a bit of modification. https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commit/340c1ff
Tested on Mac El Capitan 740ec8B 13Sep16 The second column containing the timingsa nd aother data are now priperly allined in both the Waiting dialog and the Progress dialog.
Tested on W10 audacity-win-r740ec8b-2.1.3-alpha-13-sep-16 Columns still align properly as expected.
I tried on Ubuntu (worth doing as that is GNOME and Steve is on Xfce) and I also tested on Windows that changes to the time format in the Windows Control panel were respected in the Timer Record dialogues.
