qBittorrent & operating system versions

qBittorent v5.0.0 Beta 1 x64 bit LT20 for Windows 11 23H2 Released 2024-03-24 blake3: 6326661AA1896596AD9CC7BD72C8357A521D3B88726291795F11CD330B836B3A

What is the problem?

Annoying Issues ----------------------------

1a) The qBittorent application "doesn't remember the resizing of columns", so everytime you reopen the application, the need to adjust all the columns again occurs unlike in earlier builds.

EDIT: Duplicate of #17145

2a) When closing "options", the main window application access is delayed for around 10 seconds of duration in time.

EDIT: this is a known issue per https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/20654#issuecomment-2039729068

Minor Issues

1b) In the "Peer" Tab; for the column "country/region" please include the country name with the flag icon.

Duplicate of /issues/5236

Figure 1b:  Reason, current method requires hovering over the flag icon, which takes a few seconds of time to display. So when the connections change faster than the amount of time needed to display the country name by hovering, the end user doesn't get to see the country connection for it. Including the country name resolves this issue, no delays, no need to memberize all the flag icons either.

2b) Regarding all columns, the "chevron" marker only appears when the column is clicked on, which then changes the space needed to see both the [column name] and the [chevron] marker for it.

Figure 2b:

The issue here is how the chevron marker includes a lot of pre-space before it. So much that to properly display both the column name and the chevron marker requires almost triple the space.

So on short column names like "size", "port", "seeds", "peers", "ETA", will all be hidden (bumped out of view) when the chevron marker appears on these columns - should the end user reduce the column size to fit the column name only.

The solution is just remove the extra amount of pre-space used before the chevron marker. Presently, this pre-space is around 7 or 8 digits in length, but only 1 digit space is needed.

Progress column alignment

Split off into #20683 3b) In the upper window section, in the "Progress" colume, it has 2 digits of pre-space, but the data shown below and only in this colume - doesn't have any pre-space at all making the data display on the margin edge. Solution is to add 2 digits of pre-space for the data displayed below the Progress colume in order to match and be read more visable. Figure 3b: 

Steps to reproduce

Use qBittorrent version 5.0.0. Beta 1 with LT20 64-bit for Windows 11 build 23H2.

Additional context

qBittorrent latest version 5 has a nicer appearence, especially for Windows dark mode theme now! Thank you.

I've started to split this ticket up.

Op mentions in #20683 that they're using a 3rd party theme. Closing this ticket in that case.
