[SOLVED] Text gets cut off when changing volume and playing/pausing.

[hydroxide]

I've been having a very wierd bug with a wps I made yesterday. My volume icon and "track# of #tracks" begin at the same y coordinate-- occasionally when I change the volume the bottom of the text displaying the track number gets cut off and stays like that until you change the track or leave and reenter the wps screen. similarly the text displaying the artist name sometimes gets cut off at the bottom when playing/pausing. I can only think of this as a viewport problem, but then wouldn't it do this all the time? if you need my code I can post it.
Here's my wps code:

---------------------------------------
As a side note- i was considering making a completely different wps for when the backlight is off/hold button is on; one that has no dynamic content (ie. track time, progress bar, scrolling items, changing volume icon). ie. all dynamic content would clear/pause once the backlight goes off and come back when it's on-- a ploy to extend battery time. is this possible and would it actually extend the playback time significantly (by significantly i want at least 15+ more minutes of playtime out of it).

I am not an expert here, but aren't viewports only redrawn when something changes on one?
I guess your volume-viewport overlaps the tracklist viewport. When you change the volume the volume viewport gets updated "erasing" the lower part of the tracklist viewort. When Changing tracks the tracklist viewport gets updated and you can see the full text again. So to solve your issue would only require you to stop overlapping those viewports.

PS: I could be totaly wrong, too

Well I don't have a viewport for my volume, I just gave the volume image coordinates. And that still doesn't explain why my other text gets cut off. Trust me, none of my viewports or coordinates overlap that's the first thing that I checked.... The volume icon and track numbers are on opposite sides of the screen..

How about pasting the code of your WPS somewhere for people here to have a look at ?

Hi,
if you display an image in a viewport, then the coordinates are relative to the viewport, so if you want the volume images to be shown at 155|20 then you should change line 9 to:
%xl|V|volume.bmp|0|0|10|

Oh thanks, actually what happened is that as my wps is currently (on my iPod) the volume icon was not in a viewport, so I thought that that might be the problem. Anyway, I updated it and my problem still isn't resolved.. I would appreciate if someone could test it out on a simulator to see what I mean.

One other thing you could try is to remove line 11 (%V|0|0|-|-|-|000000|-|). This viewport isn't necessary as far as i can see, but it is covering the whole screen, so it overlaps with the other viewports which can lead to unpredictable behavior.

If you want someone to test the WPS, then you have to provide the images along with the .wps file (and also tell the name of the used font).

Hey, that seems to have worked! I will report back if there are any more problems. Thanks a lot
