Description
Ok latest cvs build on Win2k adv. server.
Screenshots attached.
1.) If you use a scaler like super2xasi an ugly trail of white dots appears when the newgui is active. this does not happen with the default scaler.
2.) In the german version of Indy4 the gui headline string "Indiana Jones und das Schicksal von Atlantis" is too long and displayed incorrectly. You either need to change the spacing of the letters, use a smaller font or cut the string.
3.) (I know its not supported yet, but i list it anyway) In the german verion of Indy3 256 the whole newgui is in english instead of german and the string "save" or "speichern" is missing.

Indy3 screenie, shows problem 3 (english text and word missing)
comment:1 by , 22 years ago
1) should be fixed in CVS now
2) I see the problem, but am not sure how to handle it best. Hm
3) This also occurs in the english version, and also with the old GUI.

i've added a screenshot of monkey island 2 german version, which shows some unnessecary information in the headline, which causes the headline to be too long.

Since Sep30 Snapshot Win32 I'm unable to enter a description for the savegame and therefore I'm unable to save games. This occured with monkeyvga, monkey2, atlantis, indy3, samnmax, tentacle, zak256
to save a game I do everything as I did in the last versions: 1) Press F5 2) click on an entry 3) click save 4) enter description 5) press enter
unable to add a savegame :-)
stupid question: can I create screenshots from within scummvm (Windows version) or do I have to use an "external" method? didn't find this information in the readme.txt

addition to my last post:
the games listed are just the games I own. It seems quite obvious that it happens with every game...

I've just noticed that it's possible to save a game if there's already a description (from a previous scummvm version). but no possibility to enter a new description or change an existing one.

Fingolfin, are these fixed?
Also can we change the default behavior away from hitting enter to edit an
entry for save/load... apparantly this confuses a LOT of people :p
My opinion:
Have the box empty until 'save' or 'load' is clicked on Give the button widgets some way to indicate they are selected, eg 'push' buttons. Depending on whether 'save' or 'load' is the active mode, set box editable just by clicking.
Make sense?

Ender, it should take you only a couple of seconds to verify point 3 is still there, and if you have the german Indy4, another couple to see that it is obviously there, too.
As I stated in previous comments, I don't know how to "fix" those. Essentially, "fix" is the wrong word, as for issue (2) this is not as much a bug as more a design decision: do we want to cut off overlong text, or squeeze it, or use a different font or what?
Issue 3 is probably an issue with the string table of Indy 3, but I don't see why I should personally be responsible for it, given that it's generated by code that I haven't written - I can probably fix it, so can anybody else.
Finally, if you have suggestion on the user interface, why not put them into a feature request instead of a comment on a some bug?

About the headline being too long, how about having the headline scrolling right to left, ala Winamp?
That way you can keep the text the same size and not have to change the font or cut anything off.

The third issue has been fixed for the English version, which probably means that at least the save button won't be empty for the german version. I can't verify this though, since all I have is the English version.

Yup, in Indy 3 the F5 dialog is now all english and nothing is missing in it.
This leaves issue 2 alone...

That part of the GUI isn't there anymore. And I also implemented code that makes long text not being cut off (rather it replaces parts of the overlong text by an ellipsis, "...").
