Graphical error in column repaint

[expired user #9082]'s profile image [expired user #9082] posted 9 years ago in General Permalink
Any part of the HeidiSQL that uses a table seems to have a repaint glitch, causing columns to redraw over themselves.
Animated example: http://i.imgur.com/uROJdGZ.gifv

Seems to happen with every version of Heidi, and makes it almost unusable.
From Googling around, seems I'm the only person affected.

Anyone have any ideas?

Nice animation. Could be a Win8 issue. I should update the VirtualTree component code, as that was probably already fixed there.
Code modification/commit from ansgarbecker, 9 years ago, revision 4976
Update VirtualTree component code to 6.0.0 (r816). Perhaps fixes the issue described here: http://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=18873

r4976 now has the newest VirtualTree updates.

Please update your HeidiSQL build (Help > Check for updates) and report back if the glitch has been fixed. I don't have a Win8 or 10 machine here, otherwise I would have tested that also. I can only confirm it runs in Win7 normally.

Unfortunately, same result here.
Running 8.1 Pro, seems to run fine on my Windows 8 machine though.

Hm. Could also be a graphics driver problem.

I will check again as soon as I got my Windows 10 running here in August.

I'm having the exact same problem. Windows 10. Couldn't tell you which Heidi build number it began with but it was a 9.1 build, and is still here having updated to 9.2.0.4947.

I've just installed the r4976 build linked above, and that hasn't solved the problem.

Something similar also happens when adjusting the size of the window area housing the query textbox on a query tab. See attached image, in which I have attempted to make the query area at the top bigger by dragging it down.

Previously the text and list boxes would expand down to meet that area, but here they are not and remain their original size.

Okay, now I'm not so sure this is specific to Heidi. I've just switched over to MySQL Workbench 6.2 so I can write this query out properly. Have a look at the attached images.

Other weird things going on that appear related:

If I hover over a field title, it tints blue as visual feedback, but when I move the cursor away it doesn't return to its original colour. If I then move the cursor back over the field title it tints even more blue, and so on and so forth.

Oddly enough this is only happening with this grid element that both Heidi and MySQL Workbench seem to use. I can't find any other application on my workstation that has similar graphical oddities.

Yes, Workbench and HeidiSQL both use the VirtualTree component developped by Mike Lischke, who works (not sure if he does any longer) on Workbench.

Seems to be fixed after updating VirtualTree to v6.1.0. Please update to the latest build.

See also this thread, which reports basically the same issue.
