Linux Build Visual Issue

Post by jesse » Sun Jun 26, 2011 1:22 am

When running my application i built on windows and compiled the standalone for linux the linux version shows a slight different
layout of a label field. the label field which is 198x28 set at a location of 33x24 appears further over to the left in linux
than it shows in windows. has anyone else experienced this problem?

I've had pretty good luck moving projects between Linux, Windows, and OS X. Are you using any geometry management, or anything else that might account for that movement?

I think I may have figured out the problem. I think my text box was wider than the screen to the left side and for some reason
this caused by label box to go from being right justified to left justified and then it ended up starting at the very edge of the
box off the screen. ill have to check for sure tomorrow when i have access to my linux system ill post back and update this
thread in case that wasn't it but its likely thats all it was.

another odd problem was i have a on preopenstack call to a function doConnect that connects to my remote database.
it worked fine on a custom ubuntu box but not on my dell mini running ubuntu. its like the preopenstack didnt run
or something on the dell mini. any thoughts?

Can someone tell me if they can deploy my app to linux and if it look the same as it does in the IDE and windows. When I deploy to linux the words style look up in
the header area of the app appear off the screen to the left. I have no clue as to why either. If anyone has any ideas after checking my app please let me know.

Thanks!
