Hong Kong Traditional Bug

[armsys]

Code: Select all

! Breadcrumbs: The "Hong Kong Traditional Bug" surfaced again when
      switching dropdowns. Fixed. Hopefully.

I'm sorry. What's "Hong Kong Traditional Bug"? It's unheard in Hong Kong.

Read from here http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... ong#p93807 and then you will see why the name a few posts further down. It is a "code name" for a certain problem encountered while developing XYplorer.

Borut,
I studied the entire thread. Hong Kong font set contains Traditional Chinese (Taiwanese) plus some local (Hong Kong) variants (5,009 characters). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HKSCS.
In my case, I've not encountered any trouble with the Windows 7's built-in Hong Kong font set in XY. It may depend on which version of HKSCS you install.
Thanks for helping me learn a new bug.

It's just a funny name and not confined to Hong Kong at all. Actually it looks like virtually all non-Western locales show some unexpected behavior in combination with scrollbars, focus, and fontbold in certain contexts. This might be a wrong analysis since I don't fully understand what's going on, but up to know I could fix the problems by avoiding either scrollbars or bold font in such locales in those certain contexts.

Don,
It turns out to be a nom de guerre misnomer.

I don't fully understand what's going on,...

I appreciate your candid narrative.
Thanks for your clarification.
