My status bar always remains empty

[Song Of Snakes]

Hello, I have a little problem which I have looked for in these forums but in vain : my status bar shows nothing when I select a file, apart from the icon of that file. When I hover over the status bar, I have a popup giving me the usual iinfos about that file, but I don't understand why these infos don't show showon the status bar. Can anybody help me ?

See linked picture. The mouse cursor doesn't show up in the screenshot, but it is actually hovering on the status bar.

Using xylporer v. 10.10.0100

Hi,

indeed your statusbar seems to have a painting problem. Weird! Do you have any exotic display customizations in your system?

BTW, this forum allows attaching images. Imageshack sucks.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I am using dual monitors, both at 1920X1080, on Win 7 64bits Ultimate. I uninstalled everything related to display customization (Fences and Actual Windows Manager), updated my graphics driver (Radeon HD 6900), but it doesn't change anything. I must say I am no rookie in the computer field but this one bug baffles me.

Baffling indeed. Does it happen with a fresh installation of XY?

[Song Of Snakes]

Just tried a fresh reinstall. Still no change.

Just throwing this out there...

It looks to be drawing the icon correctly, right? So maybe it's a font setting/sizing issue?

EDIT: Grammar

That solved the problem, I changed the font size to bigger and then changed it again to the original size and now it works fine. Thanks for the help TheQwerty!

Update : after performing some tests, it seems that some system fonts (not to mention more exotic ones) are not supported for the status bar.

It was not me (Don) but TheQwerty who was struck by enlightment.

Please, let me know which font and size causes the issue.

Sorry about the name mistake. Updated the above message accordingly.

I'll test all the fonts, and will write here the list of all non-working fonts and sizes when I am finished. Give me a few hours/days to test them though.

Great, thanks.
