Maple 12 Table Properties dialog trucates value

In the Table Properties dialog, I was at first puzzled at the % field. Mine says 00.0% = 675.8 Points. Wasn't until I thought to modify the % box that I found that the 00.0 is really 100.0.

Sure seems like a bug

You should use the "Submit Maple Software Change Request" with your exact configuration (Maple version, hardware, OS, screen size, etc) for this, as this is clearly a bug.

Maple 12: Table Properties dialog trucates value - 'fixed'

Comment on 2008-06-27 18:06 from woodwise (Maple Rating 1 65)

 I accidentally "fixed" this problem. My LCD display is 1920x1200. I was looking at a number of issues related to desktop apps, and decided to go to (Windows XP Pro) Display Properties and adjust the scaling that Windows uses for pixels per inch. I calculated the ppi from my screen size and adjusted the ruler in the Advanced dialog of Display Settings. I was interested to see that when the ruler was scaled properly, the ppi matched my calculated values. I then had to resize my desktop settings to put things straight again. When this was done, I thought ti re-check this post and see if I had made a difference in the Table dialog. I had.

So Windows users with these new large LCD displays might do the same thing. The Windows default is either 96 or 120 dpi, and neither of those is correct for my system.

Now the problem is that all the web pages have this really small font on my system, not just here, but all over the web. Seems that web page designers don't have a way to figure out what our display size is and design for 1024x768 (I think).

Thanks (slight embarrassment). I had not gotten around to looking at those menu items yet. I'll write it up and submit it.
