LazPaint, Print feature issues on Win8.x

[zehess]

Hi,
on Win8.1 the print screen seems has some isuues:
-upon initial opening the print window opens much to large (refer to screenshot 1)
-the preview is much too small (also screenshot 1)
after adjusting the windows size and position:
-the printer-name field does not appear (refer to screenshot 2)
-the "configure" button is not right aligned (refer to screenshot 2)
-and the "configure" button disappears on the left side of the window when resizing the width (refer to screenshot 3)

Only detected on Win8.1 (32 and 64bit), XP and Vista it is running well.

Thanks for taking care on this...
/cs

P.S. how can I type (by use of the keyboard) a "+" (plus) or "-" (minus) sign when using the texttool (the image always zooms, no matter which +/- is used with NUM on and/or off)?

Ok I guess it is related to the window being in fullscreen. So maybe it is possible to avoid this by having the window in a normal state.

Ah you're right. For the time being, you can only insert + and - by writing in a notepad, and the copy/paste into LazPaint.

Will this also solve the button alignment and missing printer-name field?

Probably. Well in fact, you can try it. To do so:

- In the development environment, open LazPaint project.
- press Shift-F12 to get the list of forms (or in the Project menu, Forms)
- choose FPrint
- find the object inspector window (probably on the left). You can press F11 to show it if it is hidden.
- make sure FPrint is selected in the top part of the object inspector
- in the properties below, go to the last entry called WindowState.
- change it to wsNormal

Does this fix the problem?

Yes, best results are with "wsNormal"! The funny thing is, that the previous used setting was "wsMaximized" not "wsFullscreen", but never the less, it also behaves now (after compiling) different than the one compiled before on the other settings (also outside the dev. environment)... But "wsNormal" is good working! Will you change this for future releases?

Yes of course.
