File Comparator problem with very long lines

Post by Gerhard »

Hello,

i've got a possibly interesting error in the File Comparator plugin 1.09 of Salamander 2.5. On checking and seeing that i still had 2.5, i upgraded to the 2.51f (downloaded just ten minutes ago, same plugin version, even if the copyright string reads "...-2008" now, and same error...

If i compare two text files with very long lines (in this case, xml policy files from the ISS Scanner), the display goes haywire, see the attached jpg...
If only one of the files has line breaks, regardless of Unix or PC type, problem doesn't show...

Not a real problem for me, as the compare in textual form is useless with these files anyway unless i shove them through a formatter, but it might be a thing to fix during the normal development cycle...

Thanks,
Gerhard

Hi *,

as checked with Jan, this is a GDI problem, so it's not the plugin but the Matrox Driver shown below - on another box (ATI 9600 Graphics) and my notebook with Intel 965 it works...

Thanks,
