Excel: Text which isn't too wide, announced as overflowing / cropped when using high DPI #6472

P3 because its information related to presentation and there could be a reasonable cost to fix. |
P3 is fine, announcing cropped or overflowing when the text doesn't exceed 22 Point Web: http://www.22point.com.au Check out our first app, RapiTap! - Tap targets fast & avoid decoys: On 26 October 2016 at 12:58, Reef Turner notifications@github.com wrote:

Please test the following try build from pr #6526: Does this now take dpi into account? |
It doesn't seem to for me - in fact at the default Excel cell size and font size, and at DPI at 225%, it announces "overflowing" if I type only "abc" into a cell. Using NVDA 2016.3 it announces overflowing if I type abcd, although as noted in the original post, "abcdefghij" actually fits visually in the cell. |
Another try build: I've confirmed with OCR that at least on my system (Surface Pro, Excel 2016, Windows 10) overflow/crop seems to behave now at various dpi settings. Is this true visually? |
Ha, I tried, "abc" then "abcd", "abcdefghij", and none of them said Actually, I am hitting that crash constantly now trying to test this... I Ok, finally got a few more tests and it's overflow detection seems to work 22 Point Web: http://www.22point.com.au Check out our first app, RapiTap! - Tap targets fast & avoid decoys: On 1 November 2016 at 20:51, Michael Curran notifications@github.com

When the DPI is changed in Windows (usually via the "Make text and other items larger or smaller" setting), it makes everything bigger or smaller - text, icons, the size of cells in Excel. The text "abcdefghi" fits neatly in a default sized cell at the default Calibri 11pt font. This is the same regardless of the DPI as while a higher DPI makes the text bigger, it also makes the cells in Excel bigger, so the same text still fits. There is a small discrepancy - I've found that you can fit a "j" on the end in some conditions.
When the DPI is set above 100%, NVDA seems to behave as if the text has got bigger but the size of the cell hasn't (just a guess). At 200%, I can about half fill a cell before NVDA announces it as overflowing (or cropped if there is text in the next cell). I tested this on Windows 10 with Excel 2016, and Windows 7 with Excel 2007.
To reproduce:
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
