Folks,
After my latest X-series patches (currently at X6), I am aware of the following listview bugs:
Yes, you read correctly: NONE. :)
So I ask you for one of two things: -- bug reports
Here goes! I tested with all patches up to X6 applied. I took WinZip 8.1 (hopefully easy to get a hold of), opened a big zip file and noticed the following things:
* if I resize the 'Type' column there is a lot of flicker in the first column. Now there are some things to be said about that: - since this changes the width of the first column it seems unavoidable to redraw it (unless we keep its maximum width?) - on NT4 it only redraws the columns when I release the mouse button so of course it does not flicker. So either our comctl32 is more advanced and does on-the-fly resizing, or maybe it should not.
* if I move the 'Type' column to the left it gets corrupted. See listview1.png.
* on NT4 'PageUp' moves the selection to the first visible item of the list. Once on the first visible item of the page it moves us one page up, i.e. the selected item becomes the last fully visible item of the list. Not sure if this is a listiew issue or a srollbar issue.
* similarly on NT4 'PageDown' moves the selection to the last _fully_ visible item of the list. Once on the last _fully_ visible item of the list it scrolls one page down, i.e. that item becomes the first visible item of the list.
* when editing an item (e.g. in the Open dialog), the old value of the item is not erased and will appear behind the said item. See listview2.png. This could almost be considered a feature.
* still in the Open dialog, if I click on an item that is not fully visible in the right-most column, then the list will scroll to make that item visible. However I also get this scrolling for items in the right-most column even though all items in that column appear to be fully visible. Also, on NT4 I do not get this scrolling so the issue may be there or again, it may be the exact behavior changed in later comctl32 revisions.
* if I click on the headers garbage temporarily appears in them but then the correct text is redisplayed. Seems more likely to be a header issue... (the blue icon indicating the sort order does not appear either)
* Ctrl+Up/Down Arrow does not seem to work. More precisely, the current position of the cursor is not shown in any way although a slight flicker gives us a hint that the cursor really is moving..
* when moving using Ctrl+Up/Down Arrow, space should be (de)selecting the current item. That does not seem to work either.
That may seem like a long list but I think it does not contain anything really major. Goo job!
or -- success stories
Well, just put back the old listview and compare with the new one. The new one is much better despite the above issues.
