Bug ID: 48260 Summary: DrawText with len -1 returns a different height under WINE than in Windows Product: Wine Version: 3.6 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: gdi32 Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: ryampolsky@yahoo.com Distribution: ---
The following 2 lines of code return different values for 'height' on WINE and Windows when p points to a null string, but the differences are different.
height = DrawText(hDC, p, -1, &rc, dt_options|DT_WORDBREAK|DT_NOPREFIX); height = DrawText(hDC, p, strlen(p), &rc, dt_options|DT_WORDBREAK|DT_NOPREFIX);
On Windows, the first case (length -1 : telling Windows to calculate the string length) returns a height of 1. On WINE it returns a height of 14 - i.e. the height of an actual row of text using the currently selected font.
On both Windows and WINE, the second case (where I pass in the length of 0) returns a height of 0.
I don't know why Windows doesn't return a 0 height for a null string when you pass in a -1 length, but both Windows and WINE do this. Except that WINE returns the height of a row of text, and Windows returns 1 pixel - which ends up producing no visible different in my code - where this issue shows up.
I changed my code to pass in the length instead of counting on -1 to get Windows to do it, but I guess any difference between Windows and WINE is a 'bug', huh?
