Description

Game Name?

N/A

Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, properties, info tab)

N/A

MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, properties, info tab, MD5 Hash: Compute)

N/A

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

Certain columns in the game list, such as Maker, Description, and File Name, can be resized. However, rather than clicking on the borders between columns and dragging them where you want them to be, as in the old wxWindows interface, something odd happens.

Attempting to drag the left border of the Maker column to the left or right does nothing. Meanwhile, attempting to drag the right border of the Maker column actually moves the left border of Maker instead, in the opposite direction to that being dragged.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Attempt to click and drag the left border of the Maker column in the game list. Note that nothing happens.

  2. Click and drag the right border of the Maker column to the left. Note that this shrinks the column by moving the left border to the right, while the right border stays stationary.

  3. Click and drag the right border of the Maker column to the right. Note that this expands the column by moving the left border to the left, while the right border stays stationary.

  4. Continue dragging to the right until the Maker column can't expand any further to the left. It will then expand to the right.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Yes, 5.0-7178

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

N/A, Qt interface wasn't included in 5.0

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version? (You can find the first broken version by bisecting. Windows users can use the tool https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-green-notice-development-thread-unofficial-dolphin-bisection-tool-for-finding-broken-builds and anyone who is building Dolphin on their own can use git bisect.)

5.0-6416, where the column resize functionality was implemented.

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible. Screenshots showing what it is supposed to look like from either console or older builds of Dolphin will help too. For more information on how to use the fifoplayer, please check here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=FifoPlayer

N/A

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 (2.66 GHz, 4 cores)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750
6 GB RAM
Windows 7 Ultimate x64

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

No, occurs even with a fresh config.

My intuition is to say this is "Won't Fix" because that's just the way Qt handles our specific combination of resizable and non-resizable columns but feel free to prove me wrong.

I'd like to agree with the issue reporter - it's a pain in the ass to resize columns the way I'd like to.

I would also prefer to see a fix to this issue. I was unable to read the file names, and there are a couple of games that the titles are not intuitive about the order of the games (see the Taiko no Tatsujin games). Resizing that column was not intuitive, and I was about to file an issue until I saw this one. Without these weird instructions, I would have strongly considered moving back to the Wx interface.
