Bug in 0.95.6 with Message sessions input area size

[Tragen]

In 0.95.5, I could set the "Min input area size" to 2 lines and to grow when I type.
Now the option to grow is gone.
When I change from 2 lines two 3 and apply, the input area gets bigger. But when
I lower it again, it doesn't work. I have to restart Miranda.

[ghazan]

with which SRMM plugin? tabSRMM, scriver, stdmsg?

[Tragen]

Scriver.

[ghazan]

fixed, will be available in the next nightly build

[Tomaso]

..and judging by the current release shedule, I guess the fix will be available for us on the stable branch, sometime around November 2018?

[dartraiden]

We can push some fixes and new features to stable.
Already do this twice for 0.95.5. (Initially release 17.6.2016 → sync with trunk → sync with trunk again).

All developers use alpha versions, occasionally introduced bugs that make the program unusable are fixed within 24 hours. So you just can use nightly and receive fixes and new features immediately.

[Tomaso]

With such rare stable releases, I think that you should at least avoid to push them out as silent ones!

[AnrDaemon]

I concur.
There's nothing worse than dialogs like "I have version X. No, not that one, the OTHER version X."

[dartraiden]

Every build has unique ID (build number). VersionInfo shows this.

[Tomaso]

I'm fully aware of this.
..but if there's no info regarding a new release posted on the homepage, it's considered to be a silent release.
Even today, not all people like to auto-update their software.
IMHO, these previous releases that you refer to should have been officially announced as point releases (v0.95.5.1 and v0.95.5.2).

[Tragen]

Will the option to grow the textbox be back? It was very useful.

[Tragen]

Now when I change the number of rows, it works directly, but there is another bug.
When I enter 2 oder 3 lines, it's always aboud 1.5 or 2.5 lines.

When I have set min lines to 2 and I enter text in the first line and press return
I don't see both lines and the input box scrolls.

If you have Plugin Updater, you will be notified about the update immediately.

Sorry, which option are you talking about?

Which DPI you have? Could you attach a screenshot?

[Tomaso]

If you have Plugin Updater, you will be notified about the update immediately.

This I'm also aware of, but it shouldn't be necessary.
Auto-update checking is a type of feature that I disable for all my software.
..and so does a lot of other folks.
