Foreground Color Window too Large

madeleinelevy · 03-20-2015, 05:47 AM

After changing the foreground color of various entries, the color picking window starts to elongate until the cancel and OK buttons disappear below the screen. Once it starts resizing on its own, it is no longer resizable by hand and when trying to do so the pointer becomes a straight down arrow rather than a double arrow when positioned to do so.

The attached screen shot is of the very edge of the screen when this happens.

What operating system is this and where in calibre are you using the color picking dialog?

OS 10.10.2
In the metadata editor window

Hmm on OS X calibre uses a native OS X color dialog, over which it has no control. So there isn't anything I can do about this, sorry.

No problem. Meantime I found out that if the window with the extra colors (sorry, don't know the technical term), the one with all the little squares, is made as small as possible, then the problem no longer happens. Thanks as always for your attention.
