TC x64 9.51 RC3 - Dialog "Find Files" chekboxes overlaps the right border groupbox

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

TC x64 9.51 RC3 - Dialog "Find Files" chekboxes overlaps the right border groupbox

Post by *iteg »

For the "Find Files" dialog make the minimum size so that the text of the right checkboxs group in "FindText" is fully displayed (dark and normal mode).

Again I raise this problem.
The solution to the problem is elementary. In order not to change the size of the window, it is enough to swap the checkboxes "Find files NOT containing the text" with "Plugins" (+ - button). In the right column of checkboxes there will be checkboxes with long names. There will be enough free space between the checkbox columns to move the right column to the left so that there is no overlap with the right border of the groupbox.

This is my previous post in which I did not have time to propose a solution.

Sorry, this cannot be avoided. Just make the dialog larger yourself.

For me it's illogical. I would vote for moving all the checkboxes to the left like here:

@iteg wants all the descriptions to be fully visible also on small screens or with very high dpi, as you have explained in the other topic:

I cannot reduce the space of the checkboxes in the left row, othrwise they would be too small for other languages. English is one of the most compact languages.

This will look like a rearrangement of checkboxes according to my suggestion:

And so if it is still shifted to the left:

So there is still a margin on the right, which (if necessary) can be used to increase the distance between columns.
My version solves the problem, and in comparison with the current implementation, I did not reduce the component size anywhere and the distance between them is the same.

You mean moving both columns to the left when there isn't enough space? Wouldn't this look even worse?

Without shifting two columns to the left. Swap checkboxes "Find files NOT containing the text" ans "Plugins":

Now it looks great.

The problem is that the "Plugins" entry belongs to the other entries in the right column, where you choose they content types in which to search.
