[Release notes] Struven ketju 4.5.0.16

Still the same on 4.1.0.23 EA

#3

Still the same on 4.1.0.24. This doesn’t appear in Xperia 10 II - it really seems to be XA2 Ultra specific issue…

#4

I also have this issue on my XA2 Ultra with 4.1.0.24
I think this issue has been observed in an earlier version (I think 3.3) for all devices and had been fixed.

#5

Still the same on SFOS 4.2 EA.

#6

The line is still there with 4.4.0

#7

I have this on my XA2 Ultra, too. But until I found this thread right now, I thought it’s a feature, not a bug :grinning:

#8

And the same fix still applies; change /usr/share/jolla-messages/pages/conversation/SMSMessageDelegate.qml line 126 146 to radius: Math.min(height / 2, Theme.paddingLarge) and it’s gone!

Thanks for reporting this @direc85 (or at least, transferring it from TJC) and for so diligently checking it on subsequent releases.

I’ve created an internal bug report about it and tagged it as “tracked”. We’ll post any future updates about it here, and I’ll also give your proposed fix a go.

Thanks for picking up this ancient paper cut! It requires a certain device, a certain font size and a short enough text message - quite a specific requirements!

My fix removes the line, but it causes a very slight difference in the visuals (I couldn’t tell the difference though). If the maximum radius could be calculated page-wide, it would be a bit more efficient, too. I think it is calculatable, now that I think about it.

Thanks for your additional suggestions @direc85 and sorry it took so long to reply, but this should now be fixed in the next major release. If you could please check again after the release and let us now if it’s resolved for you, I’d be grateful.

In the interim I’ll tag this as fixed.

Just dropping in a note - this is indeed fixed!
