LCDProc: Scrolling menus on small LCD displays lack first 3 characters

Reported by: avdongen@… Owned by: paulh
Priority: minor Milestone: unknown
Component: MythTV - Mythlcdserver Version: head
Severity: low Keywords: LCDproc menu scroll
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

Context: When menus are shown on a LCDProc display, they can scroll to the left when the text is too long for the width of the display. And the menu texts can be preceded by " ", "> " or "X " based on selected and checked status. In smaller LCD displays (<= 12 chars) the spaces are to be trimmed here. Observed: Menu ">Manage Recordin" changes to "> anage Recordin" when it starts scrolling. The extra spaces are not trimmed here.

Patch to consequently add (or don't add) spaces on menus

comment:1 by avdongen@…, 17 years ago

The issue is a bit different than I thought at first sight. The root cause was that:

  1. global (??!!) var lcdStartCol was only initialized in the constructor of LCDProcClient, before the display width is set to the correct value;
  2. De different locations where the menu text is changed used different conditions to select the prefix of the menu text.

Both are fixed in the attached scrolldiff.out

Please can you separate your patches? This one appears to be including the priority fix as well.
