Horizontal scrollbars for all consoles + scrollbar fixes #4085

Edru2 · 2020-09-25T17:32:04Z

Brief overview of PR changes/additions

This PR adds new functions to enable/disable horizontal scrollbars for all user consoles (mainconsole/miniconsole/userwindow)
new functions:

enableHorizontalScrollBar([windowName])
disableHorizontalScrollBar([windowName])

Note that horizontal scrollbars disappear(hide) if the window is big enough to fit all characters.

This PR also adds the possibility to scroll horizontal with a horizontal mouse-wheel (testing needed) and fixes 2 long time issues with scrollbars.

adds also the possibility to hide main window vertical scrollbars

flatbox = Geyser.MiniConsole:new({
  name="flatbox",
  x="70%", y="50%",
  wrapAt = 10,
  width="50c", height="2c",
})
flatbox:setColor("red")
flatbox:echo("ABCDEFGHIJ") -- that is 10 letters
flatbox:enableHorizontalScrollBar()

Scrolling with the mouse here is pretty difficult, because it seems to be all or nothing. Examining the docs, it looks like the step needs to be adjusted dynamically?

hmm there is also nothing to scroll as you only echo 10 characters but the width is 50 and it wraps at 10.
If I copy your code I don't have a scrollbar at all.

Does it re-check if it should hide? I created one where a scrollbar was needed then widened the miniconsole in testing, now I have:

Okay I noticed there is an issue if there is only one line and the scrollbar already visible.
It should work if you echo more lines.

Will check what is causing it and how to fix it.
Probably I shouldn't make the scrollbar visible before it is needed.

vadi2 · 2020-09-25T18:21:05Z

When :clear() is called, the scrollbar should hide, right?

No as it doesn't reset mScreenOffset yet 🤦‍♂️

src/TConsole.cpp

@@ -673,19 +679,23 @@ void TConsole::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* event)
    int x = event->size().width();
    int y = event->size().height();

+    int scrollBarHeight = 0;
+    if (mpHScrollBar && mpHScrollBar->isVisible()) {
+        scrollBarHeight = 15;


This might not be safe - a scrollbar could be styled by the OS to be a different size. Is there a way to get the real value?

We set the same size for the vertical scrollbar BTW - and if you do not specify a size it can grow to fill the layout it is in - when I was playing around and trying to clean up the messy layout done manually in the TConsole constructor (to restructure things to):

Grid Layout: | | Col:| 0 | 1 | | Row:| | --- +--------------------+ |+---------------++-+| || ||V|| || || || || Upper ||S|| 0 || Pane ||-|| || ||B|| || ||a|| || ||r|| |+---------------++-+| --- |+---------------+XXX| 1 || H S-bar |XXX| |+---------------+XXX| --- |+------------------+| || || || Lower || 2 || Pane || || || |+------------------+| +--------------------+ =================== Note: the command line stuff (and buttons and Latency/Time) are in a separate layout in a parent of this widget

In the absence of more explicit settings column 1 and row 1 will adopt the same width as column 0 and row 0 (and 2 but that is regulated)...

Edru2 · 2020-09-26T13:25:05Z

The issues should be fixed but the example your provide would still not work as the scrollbar is (or should at least) 15px big and that won't fit in your miniconsole.
I provide a slightly adjusted example ( one line of text and enough space for the scrollbar)

flatbox = flatbox or Geyser.MiniConsole:new({
  name="flatbox",
  x="70%", y="50%",
  wrapAt = 10,
  width="20c"
})

local scrollBarHeight = 15
local w, h = calcFontSize(flatbox.fontSize)

flatbox:enableHorizontalScrollBar()
flatbox:resize(nil, h + scrollBarHeight)
flatbox:setColor("red")
flatbox:echo("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ") -- that is 26 letters

make horizontal scrollbars part of the main console. which means they get also resizes if borders resize. This looks much better then before and the code for the resize event is not needed anymore.

and also if it hides due to control+return

Reviewing issue #3054 this version is still acting a bit strange (but much improved to before)

Not sure how exhausting this work seems to you, but for me these would seem nice to have:

For example, when scrolling with keyboard/mouse-wheel/drag-and-dropping-via-mouse, the scrollbar will reduce its size and stay smaller until moved back down to the end. Whereas before it didn't change and actually move at all.
For example, the lower pane will "jump" a small fraction of a line height and stay that way, until scrolling ended once again. I am not aware if this was happening before at all.
For example, the upper pane will still show parts of text which are actually visible in lower pane already, therefore doubling some text lines unneccessarily. This seems unchanged to before, so this part of Issues with the scrolling handler #3054 may need to be reissued anew after this PR closes that main issue.
For example, if scrolling up one mouse-wheel bit, then scrolling down immediately again after, the scroll-bar will act unexpectedly: a) up - it will shrink and stay at bottom, b) down - it will stay shrunk and actually move up, c) down again - only now it will go down to the end and grow back to starting size.
Same is happening if scrolling with page-up and page-down keys, only to an even larger extent: a) page up - panes will split, upper pane has scrolled up, but scroll-bar stays at bottom-most position, but has shrunk in size, b) page down - upper pane will scroll contents down, actually to a perfect fit with lower pane contents, but due to 3) above, the scroll bar is not back at bottom-most position, instead moved up a bit compared to the last key-press, c) page down - upper pane now shows all contents of lower pane as well, but still scrolling has not ended, scroll-bar has not reached bottom-most position, yet. d) page down - only now scrolling ends, panes have been combined into one, scroll-bar is back at original size and position.
So in total 4 keypresses: up, down, down, down, to return back to the original state. This just seems confusing, even without the scroll-bar size changes and unexpected moving around.

See some of this in action for your comparison:

Edru2 · 2020-10-04T19:01:15Z

Thanks for testing!

This is not fixable because the scrollbar gets its size from the upperPane which changes in size as soon as a split happens.
This also happens in 4.9.1 but wasn't as obvious as the split didn't happen immediately and also the scrollbar didn't change size when using mousewheel/pageup/pagedown probably still able to fix it

This wouldn't happen anymore if we apply SlySvens layout suggestion but then the whole scrollbar would "jump" as soon as
the split happens because the scrollbar would be attached to the upperPane (something to discuss about)

Additionally this is almost not noticeable anymore once there are more lines on the screen.

I tested it and it is the same behavior as in 4.9.1 (maybe something for another pr)
this is also the same in 4.9.1 and I'm not sure how to fix (need to look at it again)

4 and 5 are problematic and shouldn't happen. (definitely need to look at it again as I thought I fixed that already)

fix changing size and got rid of bufferscrollup as it wasn't needed and didn't do what it was supposed to anyway

horizontal scroll by highlighting the same way vertical scroll does

scrolling for horizontal seem to be to fast if the same values as for vertical are used. horizontal position gets resetet if new lines appear the same way it happens for vertical scrollbar (it doesn't happen for if the split is active)

iLPdev

works gorgeously for me in win10pro v1909 build 18363.1082:

pointer hover designates container to scroll.
scrollbar resizes as buffer fills.
buffer display is appropriately split and scroll at designated main window boundary.

Muuuah!! Thanks!

Scrolling left and right works for me, but scrolling to the left causes it to also scroll up at the same time. I think that this should be deltaY instead of e->delta().

Thanks for spotting that. Please retest :)

e->delta() should be deltaY

atari2600tim · 2020-10-06T13:37:11Z

Scrolls properly now with wheel or bar and no problem doing one then the other, and I was able to enable and disable horizontal scroll bar through lua. My simple UI doesn't have the separate windows and all that, but what I did try, main window all works good.

vadi2

Looks fine, I just see a splitter appear for a split moment while the profile is loading and that's new.

Thanks a lot for the work in this! It almost feels a bit unusual to have the scrollbar... working! 😀
