BigBox: Clear logo graphical error pushing left sidebar down
Issue #243
resolved
- Using BigBox on LaunchBox 5.5
- Windows 10
- Very infrequent
- Crap, forgot which logo did this.
Ok, so I probably left this report too long. It appears some of the clear logo art that's auto-scraped will occasionally glitch. The noticeable behavior is that the art appears 2-3 pixels wide in a long line down the left sidebar in BigBox under the game's individual page. This pushes the actual sidebar menu down below the visible screen. You can still select things by listening to audio and have BigBox respond, but you can't see anything.
The corrective for me was to replace scraped images with my database of Hyperspin wheel art. I have not seen the behavior recur since then.
My best guess is that something causes the image to slice itself into bits a couple pixels wide, but then stacking subsequent slices directly below the first slice like some compulsive sushi artist.

This issue is typically caused by an download error when downloading images from TheGamesDB. If a downloaded image is corrupted, bad things happen like that. We should put in some safety measures to prevent this for the clear logos in the sidebar (a maximum height probably). Also, I'm going to put in another ticket to see if we can somehow confirm successful image downloads, because that does happen occasionally.
