Mixer Board gain control dialog is ridiculously over-long vertically
Last modified: 2019-04-05 07:47:40 UTC
When using the Gain dialog in the Mixer board the vertical height of the dialog is ridiculously over-long with lots of empty, useless space. This can lead to the bottom of the dialog being off-screen. In contrast the TCP Gail control is sensibly sized Images to be added for both the above Also note that the Mixer Board Pan control is also sensibly sized
Created attachment 810 [details] Mixer Board Gain dialog - showing as overlong
Created attachment 811 [details] TCP Gain dialog show as a sensible size with no wasted space
Note that this appears to have been the case ever since Mixer Board was introduced in the 1.3.x Beta series - so is not a regression
"3) click on the control on the (vertical) gain slider" Should this be "Double click"? I'm unsure because on Linux, a single click displays a black horizontal line. A double click pops up an overly tall dialog with the Gain as a number, then a big space (vertically), then a horizontal slider that corresponds with the track gain slider (why?), and then "Cancel" and "OK" buttons.
(In reply to Steve Daulton from comment #4) >Should this be "Double click"? Yes, good catch - I've updated the Steps...
The height of the dialog in step 4 appears to be related to the height of the Mixer Board window. The taller the Mixer Board, the taller the dialog.
Yes. Comment #6 is the root of the problem. DEVEL - FIX MADE https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commit/d994860311c5bac32931296d270d5a677ee3ede3
Tested with build 3760db on MacOS 10.13.6 and the gain control now is reasonably sized.
(In reply to James Crook from comment #7) Testing on W10 with audacity-2.3.2-alpha-205-09dab612fed1110905b7ae6d7454b2e4d7ea47b9 Tests fine on W10 - the Mixer Board gain dialog is now normal size (in line withe the TCP Gain dialog and the Pan dialogs) and does not vary with the height of the Mixer Board window.
Works for me on Linux, so closing as fixed.
