BoltBait Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I was working with a 2560x1920 pixel image today and the zoom dropdown was set at "Window". I then selected 100% in the dropdown and nothing happened. The dropdown still said "Window" and the zoom level didn't change. I then selected 200% and again nothing changed! I tried 300% and it worked fine. I then selected 200% and, surprise, it worked! Finally, I selected 100% and it also worked this time. Going back to "Window" also worked. My screen resolution is 1280x800 (widescreen laptop) and PdN was maximized. I'm running 3.0 Beta 3.

Ed Harvey Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I can corfirm this bug; I had exactly the same problem last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I cannot get this to happen. Here's what I'm doing: 1) Paint.NET is not open 2) Right-click an image on my desktop that is 2560x1920, then click Edit 3) Wait for PDN to open (all of 2 seconds) 4) Click on the drop down and then click 100% It works fine. Is there anything else you're doing, or are you starting PDN in another way, etc.?

Ed Harvey Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 It's definitely one of those bugs; one that is almost impossible to reproduce unless a very precise sequence of events occurs. It's happened about three times in the last week. Each time, I have tried to repro it so I could file a decent bug report, but I've never been able to figure out what conditions caused it - sorry I spent 3 weeks trying to track-down one of these in a commercial product once - the testers kept hitting it but couldn't repro it on-demand. Eventually I found a very subtle race condition... threading can be a real pain sometimes But even that was better than a mainframe program I had to ship with debugging symbols because a compiler bug stopped it working if the symbols were left out ! :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 Steps to reproduce: Start > Run Paint.net File > New Change image size to 2560x1920 and click OK. Select square drawing tool and draw a couple of squares (so that you can see if the resolution changes). Change the zoom drop down from "Window" to "100%" and notice that the view didn't change.

Rick Brewster Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 I still can't reproduce it on my system -- it works fine. What screen resolution are you at? How tall is your taskbar (1 unit height, 2, 3?)? Is the Paint.NET window maximized? (These may seem like weird questions but this is probably a layout issue somewhere, and so those questions are relevant.)

BoltBait Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 I still can't reproduce it on my system -- it works fine. What screen resolution are you at? How tall is your taskbar (1 unit height, 2, 3?)? Is the Paint.NET window maximized? (These may seem like weird questions but this is probably a layout issue somewhere, and so those questions are relevant.) I'm running XP Pro with the standard blue task bar at the bottom of the screen, one unit high. From my first post: My screen resolution is 1280x800 (widescreen laptop) and PdN was maximized. I'm running 3.0 Beta 3. I'm not sure what else to tell you other than it happens every time. EDIT: I edited a picture by right-clicking on it (it has the same dimentions) and changed the zoom to 100% and it worked just fine. In this case, the default 800x600 canvas is never created. I'm thinking it may have to do with the fact that the 800x600 original blank sheet fits just fine at 100% for "Window" and when I create a new document something fails to be initialized so the UI still thinks that 100% is Window.

BoltBait Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 I just ran the same steps on my other laptop and it works fine--i.e. can not reproduce the bug. 1024x768, XP Pro, Std taskbar 1Unit high at bottom of screen. PdN maximized. Hope this helps. But, like I said above, on my widescreen laptop it fails every time.

Rick Brewster Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Ok, I can reproduce this easily at 1280x800, single-height taskbar, in Vista.

BoltBait Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 Wo0t!!! Being a developer myself, one of my favorite phrases to say to the validation department is... "works on my machine." Anyway, I'm glad you can reproduce. Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Ok try this. Download this ZIP file and extract it to your Paint.NET installation directory: http://www.getpaint.net/misc/Beta3_QFE_2297.zip The zooming stuff should work great now. Please make sure to pay attention to make sure nothing else has broken as a result ... this is a high-risk fix at this point.

BoltBait Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 OK, that fixed the bug. However, I can not say than nothing else was broken by the code change as I only spent 1 minute playing with everything else.

Rick Brewster Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Ok good. Just keep your eyes peeled for other bugs over the next few weeks of using it.
