F2 Train List columns revert to original width too quickly 24/01/2014 at 10:53 #54183
maxand 1637 posts	I noticed this in Westbury loader version. On the F2 Train List one of the trains stopped at a station and then a rule appeared in the Status column, something like "Train XYZ cannot depart platform 3 until 3 minutes after train XYZ arrives." This required widening the Status column considerably in order to view the whole message. I dragged the RH margin of the column to the right but the rest of the message hidden did not appear until I released the margin. Then the whole message appeared for less than a second, and the RH margin snapped back to its original width before I had time to digest the contents of the message, meaning I had to repeat the process several times before I was sure I understood the message. In the pre-loader version the columns remained stretched and had to be resized manually, which is preferable even though it takes a little longer. Annoyingly too, the width of the Train List window itself does not snap back but has to be manually resized. I don't recall anyone mentioning this "feature" before.

maxand 1637 posts	Thanks to everyone who replied. Apologies for missing Gwasanaethau's earlier thread. One thing I do like about the loader version of the Train List is the inclusion of departure time when a train has stopped. Now, that is useful. I look forward to the next improved version. The problem with all improvements is that it only takes one overlooked irritation (all too easily done) to mar an otherwise great effort. Log in to reply
