Hmm, could be a theming problem - looks like the button gets back focus for a short time after clicking on it.

I use visual styles but it also happens when visual styles are disabeled it seems like it loads the larger form for a milisecond and then it shows a normal search form.
If it helps my system specs in brief:
Amd Athlon 1800+
512 MB Ram
Windows XP Sp2

Confirmed!

Best to see with previous maximized dialog:

Use ALT+F7.
Maximize the search dialog.
Close it and reopen it with ALT+F7.
Dialog is first maximized to full screen, and then resized.

Effect is also provable with TC6.55.

Themed or classic design has no influence.

Maybe a faster machine or a slower TFT monitors can conceal the effect.
(WinXpSp2, Athlon XP 1700+, nVidia AGP graphics card with CRT)

Kind regards

The problem don't happen when don't exist the options for window position&size of search window in wincmd.ini

Code: Select all

SearchX=
SearchY=
SearchDX=
SearchDY=
SearchMax=

The problem, if you execute a new search the values in wincmd.ini are established again.

Is it really a problem? The button really gets the focus for a short time, so it would be very difficult to find a workaround here...

No not really you changed the way I compute today so I can live with minor bug or get a faster PC

Mmmh, seems that i mixed up two different effect's viewable in krstatzar video. Sorry for the confusion.

I agree the button flash isn't a big problem, but the flashing dialog (looks like the "search result" panel is visible for a short time, before the search dialog shrinks his size) is actual more annoying.

My point was on that issue . I tried beta copy at work and it is visible only if the search dialog is maximized (3ghz cpu ,512 MB of ram)

Hmm, didn't it do this already with TC 6.55?
