text-align override not working in 3.5.0

[cmd]

Howdy!

I just updated from 3.2.3 to 3.5, and noticed that the text-align I had on some COMMENT items were showing up left-aligned instead of right when overridden with the local setting.

Here’s a small reproducible config:

[options] # size and position monitor-mode=0 monitor-num=0 bottom=1 right=1 width=420 centerv=0 centerh=0 # interface formcolor=000000 transparency=40 contextmenu=1 allowdrag=0 nav=0 nav-align=0 nav-color=ffffff language=english.ini # desktopinfo64 desktopinfo64=1 text-align=0 [text] menu-quit=Quit [items] FILE=interval:0,type:version,text:DTI Version,file:DesktopInfo64.exe,display:%3 COMMENT=text-align:1,interval:0,text:Don't forget to be awesome!

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34

[options] # size and position monitor-mode=0 monitor-num=0 bottom=1 right=1 width=420 centerv=0 centerh=0   # interface formcolor=000000 transparency=40 contextmenu=1 allowdrag=0 nav=0 nav-align=0 nav-color=ffffff language=english.ini   # desktopinfo64 desktopinfo64=1   text-align=0   [text] menu-quit=Quit   [items]   FILE=interval:0,type:version,text:DTI Version,file:DesktopInfo64.exe,display:%3 COMMENT=text-align:1,interval:0,text:Don't forget to be awesome!

Display in 3.2.3:

Display in 3.5.0:

Hope all is well, Cheers!

I’ll look into it. thanks for the report.

for COMMENTs use the ‘align’ option. The COMMENT item, being a wide item, uses the display text, which uses the ‘align’ option. Non-wide items use the text-align option for the left column.

This worked fantastically, thanks!

I think my confusion stemmed from not realizing that wide items behave differently in general, and the descriptions of align and text-align in the Common Options section of the manual. Particularly where text-align says it overrides any align setting:

align Align both columns text. Overrides the global setting. 0=left align (default), 1=right align text-align Align the left column title text. Overrides the global setting and any ALIGN setting. 0=left align (default), 1=right align

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

align         Align both columns text. Overrides the global setting.               0=left align (default), 1=right align text-align    Align the left column title text. Overrides the global setting               and any ALIGN setting.               0=left align (default), 1=right align

Perhaps a note about text-align not being applicable to wide items, and a note that COMMENT is a wide item would be helpful.

Thanks again, Glenn!
