Dialog not refreshing properly after changing line spacing

sladflob · 08-04-2020, 08:14 AM

In the latest nightly (v2020.07.1-38) I find that the dialog doesn't refresh properly after I change the line spacing on my KA1. Anyone else noticed this?

Here's a photo of the screen as taking a screenshot refreshes the screen/dialog.

Try one of the nightly builds.

@sladflob: I have no problems with the refresh on my Libra H2O using the same nightly v2020.07.1-38, so it seems not to be a general problem with this build.

That's a race between drawing and refreshing. Happens sometimes (especially on Kobos, we have an extra "fence" mechanism available on Kindle to deal with that), there's no perfect solution without making the UI slower.

(I've also noticed it somewhat a bit more in these areas recently on a Mk. 7. Which is usually a good sign: it means stuff got faster ^^).

@Jon: Read the post you quoted. It'll make sense.

OK, that's good to know (kinda). I was wondering if my KA1 was on its last legs. Seems to only happen with some books - I'm guessing longer ones which have to reformat more text?

Nope, it's (mostly) pure coincidence (i.e., the behavior is the very definition of a race condition ;p).
