Hi,

The inter-column spacing in the wdw register window is not quite right
on OS/2. There is not enough space between the value and the
description in the next column.

How is it on other platforms? If it is OK, I will make the fix OS/2
only.

Thanks,

Steve

I don't see this on winxp. For OS/2 I always make the register window
smaller for single column.
For DOS and Linux there are no wdw versions, AFAIK.

FWIW, there is also a 16-bit Windows version (the 32-bit Windows
version is in binnt; the 16-bit version is in binw). This is generally
the case: for DOS, the graphical tools are all 16-bit Windows
versions.

On XP, with a wide monitor (1280x768), when the left side is flush
with the left side of the screen, the right side is perhaps 5 pixels
over the edge. That is how the 16-bit Windows wdw comes up, /not/
maximized; hit the maximize button and it snaps-to the exact
boundaries of the screen. I am not at all set up to test it further,
so cannot comment on the issue you raise. My guess would be that it
works fine. It might work a little differently under WINOS2, but I
suspect that it looks fine there as well. Back when I was using OS/2
for Watcom development, IIRC, the OS/2 graphical programs tended to be
a bit off, while the WINOS2 ones looked just fine. That's a lot of
versions ago, of course.

And I doubt that very many people use it nowadays. Some certainly use
DOS (they post or use Bugzilla from time to time) but Win16? So
focusing on OS/2 makes sense.

FWIW, the fix is submitted as changeset #37167.
