I am facing a weird problem.  After I've positioned the Karaoke bar where I've wanted, when I click on it to hide the title bar, it actually changes position and comes a bit lower than where I had placed it. I don't know what causes this I haven't faced this problem before with any other build.

Just wanted to add that this issue persists in development build 125 (14-04-2004).

what exacly is happening? it's supposed only to lose borders ... so the inner part is supposed to stay on the place ...

so ... does the inner part move? if you try to hide/show borders couple of times does it move across the screen? about how many pixels? and what direction?

thanks

I have attached two screenshots so that you can see exactly what is happening. The first screenshot has been taken with the Karaoke bar having borders. The second is taken after clicking on it to remove the borders. The Evillyrics window is in the background so you can see the Karaoke bar changing position with respect to it.

As you can see from the screen shot, the inner part which is supposed to stay in place when you hide the borders, does indeed move!

if you try to hide/show borders couple of times does it move across the screen? about how many pixels? and what direction?

If I keep clicking on it, it will keep changing position coming downwards and little to the right, each time. I have no way of ascertaining how many pixels, but as you can see from the screenshot it travels a considerable distance downwards and to the right. If I continually click on it, eventually it will travel to the bottom right of my screen.

This has been taken before clicking on it


This has been taken after clicking

Thanks for detailed report gollywog ... it probably has something to do with theme you are using? is it standard windows theme or you are using some Window Blins or some other theming software?

And ... does similar behavior apply to conpac mode switching? when you switch to compact mode (right click in evillyircs window) and back does the window move ... i mean "travel" ?

thanks

I am not using any software such as Window Blinds, but I am using a non standard theme and I have patched my uxtheme.dll to allow non-Microsoft themes. I tried the Windows XP default theme to see if the problem goes away, but that didn't seem to make a difference. In any case I have used this very theme with previous builds of Evillyrics without any problems. This particular problem started only with the 08/04 build.

Switching to compact mode works as expected without any problems. The Evillyrics window stays where it was before switching.

I`ve got the same problem. But the moving distance of the karaoke bar is much bigger on my pc.

I am having the same problem (though it 'travels' up across the screen)

Using latest version (0.1.7)

Hopefully you will able to duplicate or find the problem

Marek has assured me that he is working on a solution for this problem.  Hopefully it will be sorted out soon.

Yes the Kararoke feature is quite useful.  In the meantime, this bug is not major, major but hopefully canbe easily fixed.

I've had the same problem with Windows 98 Plus!, but it puts the bar higher than the framed box is

Make sure EL is not running and delete the settings.txt file in the EL program directory. When you restart EL it will load the default settings. You may have to reconfigure your preferences.
