Log Analyzer window too wide for a laptop screen

[Jeff May]

I love (love, love) the new Log Analyzer. However, the controls at the top of the window are too wide so I can’t get to all the debug setting options, or to the ‘Debug only’ checkbox unless I make the window really wide – much wider than is possible on my laptop.

Hi, Jeff. My guess is that it's the addition of the previously missing NBA and Wave log categories that pushed it over the edge and not anything specific to the new Log Analyzer itself. I'm already planning on issuing a minor bug fix release for the Log Analyzer based on some other feedback. I'll see if I can address this UI layout issue while I'm at it. Out of curiosity, what is the resolution of your laptop so I have a frame of reference?

Cool - The laptop is 1366x768.

Okay, it should be fixed in the next build:

Delivered in 2.0.7.5.

Well, I just noticed that on my Linux laptop which is also 1366x768, this isn't fixed. However, it does look fine under Windows at the same resolution. Jeff, can you let me know how it looks on your machine now? My guess is that things are already tight enough horizontally that it's going to be quite dependent on the font used and font rendering technology of the underlying OS.

UPDATE: Yep, on my Linux machine I changed the IDE from the default font to a slightly smaller font (Ubuntu 14) and it all looks good now. It's also just as readable. That may be your best option until I can look into a completely different layout for the log level config panel.

2.0.7.5 solved it in my 1920x1080 14 inches Windows 10 laptop.

However, in my (ridiculously small) screen, I’ve noticed a similar behaviour in the window for the “Edit Run/Debug Configurations” dialog.

The Retrieve Metadata window is also rendered with a small part of the buttons at the bottom covered, although there it’s barely noticeable.

Thanks for the feedback, José. Yes, the Edit Run/Debug Configuration dialog is likely going to need a more extensive layout change before things will fit. Ultimately I've squeezed those combo-boxes down as far as I can horizontally without truncating valuable information. I hesitate to go to two rows, though, because that messes with vertical real estate in other places where the same component is used. I'll be working on a more general-purpose log level/trace flag configuration feature for IC soon. I think I'll revisit this at that point now that the primary layout issues have been addressed.

Scott - confirmed this fixed it on Ubuntu18.04.02 LTS and IDEA.

For others - when I first dragged the IC window from the monitor to the laptop screen, the Log Analyzer window was still too wide, but I just maximized/restored the IC window and things resized into the visible area (including the Debug only checkbox).
