Thread: pgaccess: window size and column resizing

Hello out there,

am I right in sending pgaccess related stuff to this list? Sorry if
I'm not! I had the following problem using the table representations
of pgaccess: First of all the tables are not resizable to full
screenwidth on my high-resolution display (1280x1024 etc); second, I
was not able to adjust the width of every column of a table with 56
columns (but I was able to adjust the width of every second column,
funny, isn't it?!). Can this be fixed, or is it a limitation of the
Tk/Tcl system "behind" pgaccess?

Thank you,
Ulf

I will borrow today a 21" monitor :-) (I'm kidding of course) and try to
stretch table view to whole screen. I'll come with some changes
probably.

Really funny. Don't have the slightest idea what's happening :-(
Please, could you send me a small pg_dump  of that table containing only
a couple of rows ?

All the best,

Hello Constantin,

today I installed a glibc distribution of Linux -- and now that
strange 'only-can-resize-every-second-column' in pg_access is gone!
Might be something in old Tcl libraries, or it's due to recompiling
PostgreSQL, who knows.

Anyway, if nobody else had that problem, we can just forget it :-)

Many thanks,
Ulf
