New Project Dialog

[Verax]

I ran into this when I first started using CodeLite a few days ago and it took me a good 30 minutes to figure out how to create a new project.

When I attempt to create a new project, the following dialog window appears.

As you can see the "Project Name" is hidden and, because I haven't entered a name yet, the OK button is disabled. It took me a while to realize that I had to resize the dialog box, and when I do so, the following appears.

That's better, but the grid is very wide. But at least I can create my project.

Can anything be done about this?

I'm currently running CodeLite 5.0.x (Custom build from trunk on 2013-01-28), but I experience this in the 4.1 build about a week ago and I've also experienced it in the office 5.0.6213 build). I'm using both Windows 7 and Windows 8.

There is a sash in the middle - you can move it to resize the grid size to a small size.
Once this is done, the sizes will be remembered, see screenshot below

I see, the resize handle is a few pixels off to the right, so I didn't notice it.

About the window size. Even if I resize the window, it always goes back to the small size. Can you please let me know how it behaves on your end?

Obviously it works as expected otherwise I would have fixed it by now.
I also tested it on linux / mac -> works

I can recommend you to delete your local codelite.xml file %appdata%\CodeLite\config\codelite.xml and see if it helps (it will remove all "old" sizes and will reset the sizes back to their default values)

I reverted back to the official build (5.0.6213) and sure enough the problem is gone. It must be something in my personal build.
