#9 Preferences Text Window Size not honoured
Using tkdiff 4.0.b2, I notice that in the
Preferences -> General -> Text Window Size
the width is not honoured. My widthxheight = 100x40. If
I have a files which has a line 100 characters long, I
only see 93 of those characters, not 100.
(With tkdiff 3.09 I see 99 characters.)
It seems that widths of > 93 are not honoured, the
width stays at 93.
The text height seems to be honoured OK.
I am using tkdiff on HP-UX Unix.

With a width of 93, how much of the available screen width
does tkdiff take up? It knows enough to not make itself
wider than the screen, but if it's leaving much space it's
doing something wrong.

Dorothy,
There is plenty of room left on the screen. I have attached a
screen shot with a tkdiff size of 93x40.

I can't duplicate this at all. I have to use an 8-point
font to get it so 100 characters fit in the screen, but I
get all of them. What font is that you're using? I wonder
if the font metric is messed up.
On HP, did you have to change LightGreen to something else
to get tkdiff to run? I do on the HPUX machines here.

Dorothy,
I did have to change the colour LightGreen to PaleGreen for
the HP:
dg> unzip -p tkdiff.zip | diff - tkdiff
4c4
< exec wish "$5" -- ${1+"$@"}
---
> exec wish8.3 "$5" -- ${1+"$@"}
282c282
< set colorins LightGreen
---
> set colorins PaleGreen
I use a 6x13 font. I am attaching my ~/.tkdiff rc file so that
you can see all the options that I am using.

I think I fixed it. It was calculating 2x too much space
for the scrollbars etc. when it figured out how much it can
grow before being wider than the display.
