Zooming can clip AutoSize labels

rbuser

RbPro 15.04, Delphi XE4


It seems that zooming in the editor sometimes clips the text in some
controls.

IE I have a TppLabel with:
AutoSize = true
Font = Arial, size 10
Caption = 'Total Euro'
TextAlignment = taLeftJustified

Depending on the zoomfactor it seems that the label is clipped. At 100 % its
ok. But at 110 % that last 'o' is only half visible. The amount of clipping
changes with the zoomfactor. It also depends on the text, font and
font-size.
I see this only in the designer, preview and print is always ok.

If i change the caption to ‘TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTX’ then the X is only visible at
100%. And when you give the label a border it is also clipped. And at some
zoomlevels the bottom part is also gone.

I see this in our application but also at Delphi designtime with the
installed 15.04 packages. Also tried with my system set to 120 dpi and 96
dpi. Results are the same.

Again, it only happens in the designer. But it is confusing, you use the
zoom to better see what you are doing but sometimes gives the wrong
impression that something is missing.

Hi Max,

Thanks for the feedback. I can duplicate the behavior here and reviewed the
relevant code. I put this on the list to improve for RB 16, I have some
ideas that may lead to improvements, but will require some redesign.
