#127 Result Text Display area can be hidden

[Jackslade]

Reported by users in discussion area: In some cases, the result text display (where the file contents are displayed) can be set to a height that makes it non-visible and there isn't a way to get the divider bar back or to change the height.

The current way to restore this is to delete the AstroGrep.general.config file to reset the default values.

I had this issue as well and I think I see what happened.

In the config (AstroGrep.general.config), it's possible for the WindowFilePanelHeight entry in the config file to be greater than the WindowHeight entry. Once that happens, the slider bar is inaccessible.

It's pretty easy to reproduce the issue. Open AstroGrep, make the window tall and drag the divider bar down near the bottom. Then shorten the window. If you do this on a high resolution monitor and then switch to a lower resolution monitor, you can be permanently locked out of accessing the divider bar (even if you make the window full screen!).

Is it possible to add a check that forces the WindowFilePanelHeight value to be less than or equal to the WindowHeight? Or maybe reference the WindowFilePanelHeight as an always positive distance from the bottom edge of the window (so it's impossible to 'hide' the slider bar by shrinking the WindowHeight)?
