Highlight Changes & Strikethrough oddity

Postby therube » Tue Nov 26, 2024 9:13 pm

Display Options | Highlight Changes & Strikethrough oddity.
Perhaps related to file name length, which are long, with name-parts being > 238 characters in this case.

This is with both Highlight & Strikethough enabled.
Disable or select other combinations, all is OK.

[Resolved] Highlight Changes & Strikethrough oddity

Postby therube » Wed Nov 27, 2024 5:20 pm

Well, I suppose the issue is actually related to, What is the max permitted file name length for BRU?
But then, maybe not ;-).
[No, it is not. But the above issue is what led me to [incorrectly] seeing what I reported, above.]


3:Replace
Code: Select all
Replace: x
With: Z

Highlight Name Changes, & both Activate & Strikethrough enabled


Looking closer now, I didn't realize that in New Name the x's were strikedout.
I had thought, at least what it looked like to me at the time, was that instead of the x's being replaced with Z,
the x's were persisting, & later characters were (wrongly) being replaced by Z.

That must be what it is.
So no real issue, just an understanding issue of what one is seeing (compounded by, heh, vision, & [with column widths] not being able to fully see, to fully comprehend, just what the proposed changed result would be).

OK, so much for that.

Anyhow...

top shot, appeared wrong, but is in fact correct
so in the GUI it looked wrong, but is not, while at the same time Preview showed correct

bottom shot, after disabling strikethrough, both the GUI & Preview both show "as expected"
(actually, I guess, in a less confusing manner, in this instance - I was certainly confused, heh)

Ah, yes, when Strikethrough is enabled then file name changes are highlighted in the new name column as both removed part (red background and Strikethrough) and added part (green background) and that can make the text shown pretty long.
