Incomplete User Define Dialog

    I am having some trouble accessing the 4th group of keywords in the user define dialog.

    Because I work on a 1024x768 screen the dialog is too tall to completely fit on the screen when displayed as a seperate window and so I don't have access to the 4th group. If I dock the dialog then I can scroll down to the bottom, however I still cannot see all the lines of the keywords list in the 4th group as the bottom of the frame seems to be too high with a lot of white space below it. Also when I type into the keyword box the dialog flashes white and back to normal with every keystroke.

    I am running N++ 5.0.1 under Windows Vista but I have tested this under XP and the problem is the same. I think this problem was there in 5.0 and possibly 4.9 too.

    Thanks for your help.

      I have a 1024x768 screen, too. After I dock the User Define Dialog, I can scroll through all four tabs in their entirety. I am also not able to reproduce your flashing problem.

      The white space at the bottom of most of the tabs appears to be because of how the User Define Dialog is programmed. The size of all four tabs is the same, but only one of the tabs (Keywords Lists) fills the entire tab. So the other three tabs have white space at the bottom. No content is lost or obscured, though, it's just blank space.

      Tested on XP Home SP2 with Notepad++ 4.7.5. Sorry, that's all I have with a 1024x768 screen.

      HTH,

        I have the same problem. I use 1280 x 1024. I see complete dialog box, but at the bottom is about 2 cm of white space - like that something is missing. (i have 17' monitor)

    if you have the windows-taskbar on the top of your display (and not at the bottom as it is standard), the dialogue-box is also a mess…because its behind the taskbar …

    The flashing will take place if your active document is in the same language you are modifying. Switching to another document while you modify the ketword list will fix.

    As for the task bar interferring with the dialog, please file a bug report about this. Including a screenshot will help.
