Misalignments in localised "Custom Status" windows

[jiaz1]

fully patched leopard with french as default language:

through adium menu bar, choose to create a personalized away message. click on any of the addition options' checkbox. note how the layout of the window text becomes grossly misaligned.

This doesn't happen for me on svn. I would guess it's either fixed for 1.3b4 OR someone needs to update the French localization in Adium. Please comment here if this is still a problem with b4 when it is released.

[Robby]

I'm fairly certain I saw a changeset comment saying this was fixed. :)

[jiaz1]

using 1.3b4,

the way that the layout shifts after clicking on the check-boxes has changed, but they are, nevertheless, still shifting into mis-alignment.

Could you try creating a brand new OS X user account, loading Adium in that, then reproducing this. Grab another screenshot and post it here.

Could you also try changing the language of the new OS X user account to US English and see if the problem still occurs there for you. (Make sure you do it in both French and English so we can see the difference).

[jiaz1]

I created the new account and tested Adiumx in English and French. Only the French setting led to any mis-alignment.

See the new screenshots.

Hello,

there is still a problem in French in every languages I have tested.

I add a screenshot in French and in German (which isn't the worst!).

The problem is that I don't see how to change that…

Thanks,

BLD

Problem in French (1.3ß5)

Problem in German (1.3ß5)

1.3b5 is [24103], as indicated at beta.adiumx.com. This fix was made in [24106]. It is therefore not in 1.3b5.

The problem is that the French nib's window size was changed, and its controls' positioned changed, on the vertical axis. For all other nibs, this wouldn't matter, but in this particular case the code makes certain assumptions about the window size and position to allow parts to be automatically shown or hidden.

I missed that, sorry. ;-)

Will it fix the other languages? Because it's the mess too…

[David Munch]

Confirmed using danish localization. Check "Autoresponse" or "Appear away immidiately" (Quick translation from danish), and you'll see overlapping features. The problem seems to be "Save special status" not moving around in the correct way. Also, it is positioned wrongly when you open the window (At leasst here in danish, is that something I should fix?)

[evands]

I don't understand why these layouts are all different from the English one. The best thing to do is to tell iLocalize to reset the layout to the English one, then resize your controls as needed.

We recently added an option for Growl, right? It might come from that…

It's done! :P

[biglittledragoon]

If I rebuild from English, I have this message:

[09/25/2008 16:56:57] 2008-09-25 16:56:56.932 nibtool[2283] **** verification error ****: <NSCustomObject: 0x388200> has an invalid object id -3 (must be < 132)

[Robby]

Any news on this, BLD?

[biglittledragoon]

Excepted this error when I rebuilt, it looks to be OK now (1.3.2). Users reported it too.
I hadn't the time to check this in the last ß, but it should be OK.

[Robby]

Ok, good. :)

[David Munch]

I reset it from english for the 1.3 version I believe, yet, the problem has reappeared.. At least I see it for 1.3.3b1 using danish.

[Robby]

Could you add a screenshot, David?

[Robby]

Ok, I have to add that there are also issues with German (still) and English.

• German: "Title" (too far right), "State" and "Status Message" (both too far left) are incorrectly aligned.
• English: The bottom four checkboxes are a little too far right.

See screenshots "German" and "English" for reference.

[David Munch]

As far as I can see, there are two issues:

• The last checkbox is positioned wrongly when the window is opened.
• The two top checkboxes fuck up the view, with regards to the last checkbox.

Checking the two checkboxes with Growl and sounds turning off, the view is fixed! I hope these observations would help. Image attached.

Examples of danish window

[zacw]

If these are still a problem in 1.4, I believe it is due to the nib's controls not being linked properly, probably due to localization copy/pasting the field, or something like that.

Please report this on a language-by-language basis against a 1.4-final localization set.

[David Munch]

Stil a problem in the danish localization, as per 1.4b15.

Okay then, let's take a deeper look.
