CodeBox size ignored

[LittiGit]

0.99.15 Windows10 portable

The setting of the size (pixels or percent) of a codebox is ignored. Codebox is displayed maximized. Seems it starts well (<1s) then becomes maximum.

Same document opened in 0.39.4 looks OK.

Change theme doesn't help.

Anyone else with this problem? Any other setting necessary?

You have to untick auto expand of codeboxes in preferences dialog tab rich text

Guispen, yes but if check expand codebox then there is a scroll bar appears and everything will not fit into the window (which is very convenient) and anyway size changing doesn't work unfortunately :( P.S. Thank you very much for your work!

I've been investigating the codebox resizing issue and have some observations and suggestions:

1. Width Adjustment:

   • Disabling "auto expand codebox" improves the width experience.
   • Setting codebox_width_pixels to true in the config (or clicking the percent sign in codebox settings) allows for percentage-based width adjustment.

2. Height Adjustment:

   • Height seems to be set in pixels, not percentages.
   • There's no equivalent boolean for height as there is for width.
   • The auto-expand feature works well vertically but also expands horizontally, which isn't always desirable.

3. Proposed Solution:

   • Implement a toggle for word wrap in codeboxes.
   • This would allow the auto-expand to work for height while preventing horizontal scrolling.

4. Current Limitations:

   • Without word wrap, users must manually set the height in pixels for each codebox to avoid the default 100-pixel height.

5. Code Location:

   • The relevant code appears to be in src/ct/ct_actions_others.cc.

This solution would likely address both my needs and those of the original poster, providing a more flexible and user-friendly codebox experience.
