Icon text is squashed at the bottom for some VI's

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

Made the simplest possible DQMH singleton module in an empty project. Only edit during this was "Edit Overlay" during the wizard to replace the "MOD" icon heading with something meaningful to this module.

Whole project is attached as it then appears. Win10/64, LV2019.0.1/64bit, DQMH  4.2.1.64

 

Problem: Almost all icons for the private broadcast vi's have an icon where the text is smashed in to one line at the bottom of the icon.Broadcast vi Icon has text squashed togetherBroadcast vi Icon has text squashed together

Strangely enough - the Destroy Broadcast Events.vi is ok - as the only broadcast vi.

Also the Obtain Request Events has the problem. The others are fine.

I tried the exact same things on another installation ( another PC) having LabVIEW 2019.0.f2, Win10/64, DQMH  4.2.1.64 and there it works fine. What could be the reason? I will update LabVIEW. And report if this helps.

But thanks for an excellent tool!

This looks like a bug in the Icon Editor. You can reproduce the problem outside of DQMH scripting. Open a regular DQMH module with normal icons, and edit the library icon banner to have a red border. Then apply the library icon to all the member VIs. You'll see the icon text get squished.

 

For now, the easiest workaround is to keep the library icon border black when creating new DQMH modules.

Great!

Strange bug - Indeed the border color makes the difference. Ok - no problem in keeping it as black. I don't do any more in this matter unless requested to.

thanks
