Prompt sizing between 1.5.2 and 2.0


Hi,

                 I'm seeing what looks like a small problem with sizing 
of a Prompt when given a body in 2.0 as opposed to 1.5.2.  Here is the 
source of the body:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<TablePane xmlns:wtkx="http://pivot.apache.org/wtkx"

        xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">

<columns>

<TablePane.Column width="1*"/>

</columns>

<rows>

<TablePane.Row height="-1">

<Label wtkx:id="aboutVersionLabel" text="%aboutVersionLabel" 
styles="{font:{italic:true, bold:true, size:11}}"/>

</TablePane.Row>

<TablePane.Row height="-1">

<Label text="%copyright" styles="{font:{size:11}}"/>

</TablePane.Row>

<TablePane.Row height="24">

<Separator styles="{padding:{top:8,bottom:8}}"/>

</TablePane.Row>

<TablePane.Row height="-1">

<Label text="Built on $(__DATE__) at $(__TIME__)" styles="{font:{size:9}}"/>

</TablePane.Row>

<TablePane.Row height="-1">

<Label text="Java version $(__JAVA_VERSION__)" styles="{font:{size:9}}"/>

</TablePane.Row>

</rows>

</TablePane>

The code to display it looks like this:

        @Override

        public void aboutRequested() {

               Component body = (Component)readObject("about", this);

               
aboutVersionLabel.setText(String.format(aboutVersionLabel.getText(), 
APP_VERSION));

               Prompt.prompt(MessageType.INFO, 
(String)resources.get("mainAppTitle"), body, mainWindow);

        }

Here is what it looks like under 1.5.2 -- very nice looking (IMO), 
although I don't know why it has what looks like unwarranted extra width 
on the right, based on the content.

But, in 2.0 (head revs built the other day), it is sized just a little 
bit too narrow so that the last character gets chopped off.  And even 
though there is the sizing widget in the lower right, these just seems 
cheesy to me that it couldn't get sized correctly to begin with.  Or am 
I wrong?  Is there something else I should be doing to get the size right?

Thanks!

The problem is that a Prompt's preferred size in Pivot 2.0 is slightly
smaller than in Pivot 1.5, and the labels in your prompt's body are not
configured to wrap. As a result, the text is getting clipped.

 

I increased the default size slightly, but you should probably add a
"wrapText:true" style to your labels just to be on the safe side (for
example, in case the user manually resizes the prompt).
