Forums Bug Reports Resizing picwin and $window() bw/bh properties

If something is drawn to a picture window, and the window is resized to a point where what was drawn is no longer completely visible, $window() .bw and/or .bh property/ies (whichever is applicable) don't update properly... The .w/.h and .dw/.dh properties do, however...



Manually resizing the window and alternating between a size smaller than what's drawn and a size equal to or more than what's drawn, (I really hope that makes sense, not sure how else to word it), produces even stranger behavior: the applicable property/ies will gradually increase each time (usually by one).

Note that clearing the window does not fix the issue.
Btw this is in mIRC v7.32 on Windows 7 32 bit

That's not a bug, it's on purpose: mIRC keeps track of where you're drawing regardless of the size of the window and the bitmap area is increased if needed

Ah yeah, that makes sense...

What about the gradual increase upon back and forth resizing like I (attempted to) described in my first post?

In your one liner, BH is the same before and after the draw because /window -f works on the display area (DW/DH), which affects the real size of the window (W/H), but not the bitmap area (BW/BH). Basically, the bitmap area is never being made smaller, I think -f also sets the bitmap area if the size is not smaller than the current size.
