Bookpedia 5.5.1 - minor screen redraw bug
Posted: Sun Nov 13, 2016 11:11 am
Hi Guys
I finally recently upgraded to macOS Sierra 10.12.1. I've found a minor redraw bug in Bookpedia 5.5.1, which I'd expect also applies to the other Pedias.
I've got a 27" iMac screen and use a window management utility called Window Tidy to adjust the size/position of windows using keyboard shortcuts. Two commonly used settings are "window set to 50% width and snapped either full left or right". The other commonly used setting is to set the window to 100% width of the screen - all using keyboard shortcuts. These settings can be useful, for example, to quickly put Bookpedia in the left half of the screen and a Safari browser showing Amazon in the right hand half of the screen.
I'd guess other window management apps such as Magnet or BetterSnapTool might also cause this bug.
The problem I discovered is that the books in the main Bookpedia window don't redraw when I use Window Tidy keyboard shortcuts to move the window around. I've produced a short video illustrating this problem. First it shows expected behaviour from normal trackpad use. Then it shows the faulty redrawing. It also shows a couple of examples where the redraw is restored. Hopefully that will make it clear for you. Let me know if you want any further information.
Regards,
Gary
