Search & Replace pop-up windows

Karellen · 01-01-2022, 10:07 PM

Is there any way to permanently adjust the size of the pop up windows as shown in the image?

Most times it is tiny, and hard to see the full string as it does not fit into the viewbox, and I may have many similar strings and I end up having to pick them one at a time until I find the correct one. Then on a rare occasion, the window is ginormous and almost fills the screen height, but this is rare.

How can I control this for consistent behaviour and make it more usable? The affects both Find and Replace.

Thank you

This will take care of it: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...7447149b94fe5b

Note that the popup is going to now ignore line breaks so for very large expressions, you are not going to be able to read the entire text anyway.

Thank you very much. I will test it out on the next release and let you know.

What would also be helpful is the ability to delete individual items from the list? Sometimes I don't get the regex right the first time (or second

)
If not, no problems, I can continue to edit edit-book-history.plist file.

FWIW, this is when I sometimes get a larger box, but does not happen often at all. Still haven't figured out what causes the bigger box.
It would be nice to have the box that size permanently.
