1.5b 1412b search result display bug

Post by WishingStars »

not sure if it's new bug or I just never encountered it with previous versions

whenever searching text includes 碧, the folder name search result in detail view would have a full width space right after the character. if I click on the folder name and press F2 to start rename's editing mode, then the full width space disappear but shows up again after exiting the rename editing mode

some examples:

search for 碧
display shows "碧 藍", "碧 !", "碧 16"
actual names "碧藍", "碧!", "碧16"

search for 碧綠
display shows "碧 綠", "碧 綠色", "碧 綠藍天"
actual names "碧綠", "碧綠色", "碧綠藍天"

no plugin. vanilla Everything x64 portable. default font settings. enable match diacritics. search folders only
just reproduced with 1409a

if I changed font from (default) to something I use for editor, then issue goes away. if I change font back to (default), then issue shows up again. how do I find out which font is used by the (default) setting?

Everything.ini content doesn't have any configured custom font

Code: Select all

 options_last_page=Fonts and Colors

Everything uses the system Icon font.
This is going to vary for region, OS and fallback font.
Windows 11 is typically: Segoe UI Variable

I tried all Seooe variants, couldn't reproduce. tried other fonts I use, no dice. then continue trying font one by one and eventually found out Microsoft JhengHei ver6.15 is the one doing this

the weird thing is if I don't search with 碧, but some other text, then the search result doesn't do that extra full width space thing. if I search for the text or character before or after 碧 but without 碧, then search result display is fine. as soon as I include 碧 in search string, then display inserts a full width space right after 碧. even if I search for things like "碧綠", display will show "碧 綠"

it's as if some displaying effect or emphasis done by Everything on the search string in the results is causing this

It's most likely Everything highlighting and the system returning the wrong width for the character.
Try toggling highlighting from Tools -> Options -> View -> Show highlighted search terms.

confirmed ticking that option off got rid of the extra full width space
