Entry detail line break duplicates characters

[mvysny]

Hi, as seen in the attached screenshots, landscape mode looks fine, but in portrait mode, the secondary pronunciation せろんちょうさ seems to have the ちょ appearing twice (once on each line). Actually, I'm not sure the line breaks are needed at all on my screen, especially on the very last reading, where さ is on its own line.

Hi Mike,

thank you for the screenshot, I can see the issue. However, this may
be hard to fix - I am only using standard Android formatting patterns
in
a standard Android text component. Therefore, the bug is most probably
present in the Android text component, and there is not much I can do

Yet, please try to disable the Settings / GUI Tuning / Dictionary
Entry Screen / Show Pitch Accent (just set it to "None:") and please
let
me know if this helped.

Setting "Show Pitch Accent" to "None" fixes the repeated ちょ

[mvysny]

Hmm, apparently the "overline span" which
indicates the high pitch is the cause of this problem on your phone. I
can not completely fix this issue as I cannot reproduce it on my phone.
However, there are possible workarounds:

1. simply not showing overline in your phone - only the downstep
   characters (the down arrow) will be shown.
2. not showing pitch information at all
3. by showing the middle-pitch not as "overline", but as
   "strikethrough", which should behave correctly but will cause the kana
   to be not as readable.

Please let me know which solution would be acceptable for you.

Mike: Oh, that's too bad about the overline; I like the overline. But if I had to choose among those three options, I'd choose number 1.

[mvysny]

I'll fix this as follows: I will keep the overline enabled by default, but I will add a new configuration option to Settings / GUI Tuning / Dictionary Entry Screen / Pitch Accent:
Show Mid Pitch: "Mark Mid Pitch characters with" 1. Overline 2. Strike-through 3. Do not mark

[mvysny]

Added additional setting: Mark with Red Color. Fixed in Aedict 3.39.18

The red color seems not to work on my phone (Galaxy S2, Android 4.0.4). I tested it with Holo Light and Holo Dark themes.

[mvysny]

Hmm, this is weird. The red color works correctly on my phone. Does the "Strike-through" option work correctly?

[mikemorr]

Yes, the strike-through works :)

[mikemorr]

Interestingly, when I set it to Overline, the overlined kana are white (vs. gray for the low-pitched kana). But when I set it to RedColor, the kana are all gray.

[mvysny]

Hmm, this is crazy - I can see the Red text on my phone no problem. Please make sure that you have Aedict 3.39.19 installed, and please try the Red Text setting again.
This Android fragmentation is really horrible :(

[mikemorr]

Yes, unfortunately the red text isn't appearing for me in 3.39.19. Video demo: https://youtu.be/s8whnqlu5cU

[mikemorr]

I'm happy to try any test APKs, if you'd like.

[mvysny]

I probably discovered the cause of this issue. The problem is that I tell the text to be grey, and at the same time I tell it to be red. While HTML can handle it, it seems that some Android can't. I'll devise a workaround.

[mvysny]

Fixed span-related issues (I have been trying to reuse span objects, and Android hates that). Should be fixed in Aedict 3.39.20.
