Update (what I have so far):
Running from source (git), edited src/calibre/gui2/library/delegates.py
Code:
$ mkdir dev && cd dev
$ git clone https://github.com/kovidgoyal/bypy.git
$ git clone https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre.git
$ cd calibre
$ ./setup.py bootstrap
$ ./setup.py install --staging-root ./
[changed delegates.py]
$ ./run-local calibre
Working column edit:
Code:
[orig initial_geometry]: PyQt6.QtCore.QRect(887, 0, 65, 30)
_width: orig: 65 max: 64 new: 64
>> new_width <= orig_width
[new initial_geometry]: PyQt6.QtCore.QRect(887, 0, 65, 30)
QAbstractItemView::closeEditor called with an editor that does not belong to this view
Not working column edit:
Code:
[orig initial_geometry]: PyQt6.QtCore.QRect(952, 0, 41, 30)
_width: orig: 41 max: 64 new: 64
>> new_width > orig_width
LayoutDirection.LeftToRight
space_ left: 952 right: -888
consume_ left: 952 right: -888
delta_ x: -952 width: -929
[new initial_geometry]: PyQt6.QtCore.QRect(0, 0, 64, 30)
QAbstractItemView::closeEditor called with an editor that does not belong to this view
The LayoutDirection block seems to be the issue... no idea why exactly, copying over the delegates.py file from 7.2 isn't enough.
But the compiled version from
https://download.calibre-ebook.com/7.2.0/ (still) doesn't have the issue, so possible the problem lies elsewhere...?
Adding
Code:
delta_x = 0
delta_width = new_width
after the LayoutDirection if/else appears to have solved it for me (line 118).
As a bonus though, this change solved another issue I had with Yes/No columns (field loses focus after a change)
If there are things you'd like me to try further I'm willing, but for me this is about what I can do with the knowledge (don't know anything about Qt/GUI development) and time available that I have...
Edit: (personal reminder for if I ever have to do this again)
