TC9.0RC4 Everything Checkbox position and Font settings

[HolgerK]

If the Dialog font is set to other than the default "Microsoft Sans Serif,8" (e.g. "Segoe UI,8") or a larger font like "Microsoft Sans Serif,9" is selected, the position of the of the 'Everything' checkbox is different:
- "Microsoft Sans Serif,8" -> 'Everything' checkbox is placed below "[_] RegEx"
- all other -> 'Everything' checkbox is placed behind "[_] Search archives.."

Don't know if this is by design, but it should be unique.

The text Everything will not fit if checkbox is placed below "[_] RegEx"

24.08.16 Release Total Commander 9.0 beta 11 (32/64)
24.08.16 Fixed: Search dialog: Move 'Everything' checkbox to the right of the packer checkbox if it doesn't have enough space (32/64)

The text Everything will not fit if checkbox is placed below "[_] RegEx"

At least it fits with "Segoe,ui,8"

Btw: The horizontal extend of the text:
|'Everything'|
is normally less than (german ui):
|Text suchen:|

Maybe the limit to switch the position is set a little bit to low?
But i don't care if this is by design (now that i know).
I was only wondering after an update on another machine, and thought I'd installed a different version.

Anyway there is an odd behavior:

Dialog Font is set to "Segoe,ui,8"

1. Dialog box scaling set to "96dpi":
'Everything is placed behind "Search archives.."

2. Same font, but dialog box scaling set to "120dpi":
'Everything' is placed below "RegEx"

This isn't odd, it's just a rounding problem: TC measures the size of the text (plus some extra whitespace), and compares it to the available space. If the size is larger, then TC puts the box to the right. When scaling, there are always rounding problems, because there are no fractional pixels. So the text length may become 1 pixel longer (rounded up), and the available space one pixel shorter (rounded down).
