Lockdown hours/minutes boxes are small, and their respective dropdowns do not work #42

Closed nik312123 closed 2 years ago

nik312123 commented 2 years ago

Here is what the lockdown page looks like with 2 entered in both the hour(s) and minute(s) input boxes:

lockdown

The drop-down chevrons also do nothing upon being clicked.

proginosko commented 2 years ago

Interesting. I've never seen this before. Which OS are you using?

nik312123 commented 2 years ago

I am on macOS Mojave 12.2.1. This was also the case on my older Mac, which has been on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and Catalina 10.15.7.

proginosko commented 2 years ago

Thanks. Try this for me, if you don't mind:

Does the hour(s) field look/work any better after that?

nik312123 commented 2 years ago

Yes, it does. The effect goes away upon clicking on the input box, though, which is probably how the application is coded.

Also, I was incorrect about the dropdowns not working. The dropdowns do work if their respective fields are blank, which is my bad.

So the upshot is: those two fields need to be wider for your system. Correct?

nik312123 commented 2 years ago

Yep. That seems to be the case.

proginosko commented 2 years ago

Well, that's easily fixed then. I'll expand them in the next release. In the meantime, try some different values than 6 and let me know what's optimal for your setup.

nik312123 commented 2 years ago

Assuming a 3-digit buffer, 6 seems to work the best. 5 slightly obscures one of the 3 digits but is also fine.

proginosko commented 2 years ago

Thanks, that's very helpful. How often would a user want to enter a 3-digit value for either hours or minutes, I wonder?

nik312123 commented 2 years ago

I have actually done so on several occasions where I want to remove distractions for around a week and do some crunch time. Though, metrics would have to be gathered to see how frequently users get to the 3-digit count. :P

proginosko commented 2 years ago

Ha! That's good to know.

proginosko commented 2 years ago

Fixed in version 1.4.
