EPG lines limited to the number of channels (1 Viewer)

[greybox]

If I have only 7 channels in my EPG, the detailed listing for a particular channel is limited to 7 rows only. If I have 10 or more, I get 10 rows. Shouldn't we get at least 10 rows of detailed listing even if we have less then 10 channels?

Good catch. Definitely a bug.

By the way, it looks even worse if you switch from the card that populates the entire screen to the card that feeds only a few channels: the old populated portion of the screen does not go away properly, and the new channels are shown on top of the old screen...

Detailed steps to reproduce and screenshots?

 

[greybox]

OK, to reproduce the ghosting part:

1. Select the EPG source containing 10+ channels
2. Select the EPG source containing less then 10 channels (7 in my example)

You will see EPG source 2 on top of EPG source 1.

Are you able to compile your own MediaPortal from source? If so, I think I can provide a patch for this one. Basically, it didn't make it in time for 1.2.0, but we are aware of this issue and it will be in the next release.

No, I can't compile, I will wait for 1.2.0. Thank you.

Installed 1.2.0 final today, exact same bug is still there. I thought it was fixed...

...so I don't know why you expected the fix in 1.2.0. Our policy is only to fix showstoppers in a release candidate (otherwise we'd never release anything! ), and this is not considered a showstopper.

You can track progress on this issue -->here<--.

The reason I expected the fix in 1.2.0 final is because the fix already exists (see post #6). I didn't know it was scheduled for 1.3.x, sorry.
