TcAndroid 2.91b4, configuration issue - Font and Color

Update from 2.91b3 to 2.91b4 changed the line hight,
so I needed to change that back to good settings,
but these settings have an issue.
Problem:
Changing settings in "Fonts and Colors",
OK/APPLY leads to a unresponsive dialog:
Deleting
From:
cache
To:
Delete
0%
CANCEL
Cancel has does nothing, but the back key
brings me back to config dialog.
(same behaviour in german language)
Problem seen on:
Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Android 6.01
Samsung Galaxy Xcover 4, Android 7.0
thanks

Thanks for your report. I have a few questions/remarks:
- You wrote:

I cannot confirm that. Did it increase, or decrease? I changed two things:
- Image thumbnails now use the entire available height if you increase the line height
- The positioning of the permissions in root mode is a bit different (left-aligned), which may lead to more (or less) lines used by the date/time field, but shouldn't have any effect in normal directories.
- Apply can hang when deleting the thumbnail cache fails. I found one particular case where this happens: When the directory
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander/cache
doesn't exist. As a temporary workaround, you can just create that directory. If it does exist on your system, how many files does it contain?

Hi und Danke für die schnelle Antwort.
Ok now with 2.91b4, I manually created the folder "cache". Both devices did
not have that folder. Probably because I never used the preview cache.
Sorry, I tricked myself with the font layout. I thought there is a change,
but actually only the free space/size values on Tcmd home view moved, from
the middle to left, under the SD memory type name, makes the line looks less clear.
I have no permisson values (not rooted). I prefered the memory values
in the middle, but this is just my personal taste.
Other, minor cosmetical issue, only seen on Note 4:
During testing the font settings, I found the plugin icons where blanked in both panels (portait view).
Refreshing by closing Tcmd, or opening a folder then back to Tcmd home screen restored the plugin icons.
Reproducible several times, but after a few tests not seen anymore.
thanks

I saw this once two, but never managed to reproduce it - if you find a sequence to reproduce it, please let me know!

I was able to reproduce the plugin icon issue a few times
by just changing the font size. Just tried again, no luck to reproduce.
Important info regarding the original problem: "cache message, cache folder"
Problem is back, and I know now why!
That cache folder is wiped away by Android when running a cleanup on temporary data
from system settings (deutsch: "Zwischengespeicherte Daten") Oops. Thats why I had
no such folder on both devices, because I run cleanup once a while. This morning I run
a cleanup, now when I tried to reproduce the icon problem, the cache thing caught me.
enjoy
