Misaligned committer column in "Interactive Rebase" window

[ZaLiTHkA]

note: this came up during the review of PR #1033.

I'm using SourceGit on a MacBook Pro M1 running macOS Sequoia 15.3.1.

in the "Interactive Rebase" window, some commits seem to "push" the committer field over to the right, as seen in the following screenshot:

---

I discovered that pressing F12 while running from source will open a "Avalonia DevTools", however I'm not familiar with Avalonia, so it's not clear to me what part of the UI is causing this shift.

focussing on commits 9cf1cba9b7 and 639bff9ad8 in the following crop:

I checked the properties for various elements in the row for each commit, and I do see that the DesiredSize of some elements are wildly different...

the "element" column in the following table relates to children of this commit list.

element	DesiredSize value row 1	DesiredSize value row 2	notes
Border for the row "grab handle"	14, 14	14, 14
Button for the "commit action selector"	79, 22	79, 22
Grid for the commit message	425, 16	199, 16	massive difference
Grid for the commit details	448, 28	442, 28	small difference
Grid.Avatar for committer avatar	24, 16	24, 16
Grid.TextBlock for committer name	39, 16	39, 16
Grid.Border for commit hash	74, 16	76, 16	small difference
Grid.Border for commit date	148, 16	142, 16	small difference
Grid.Button for "move up"	30, 28	30, 28
Grid.Button for "move down"	30, 28	30, 28

a quick issue search shows that this was discovered and apparently fixed not too long back (see #764), but I don't think this is exactly the same issue... specifically because in this instance, the row that has the committer details shifted right actually has a much shorter message than the row above it.

please do let me know if you need any additional details here. this happens pretty consistently on my machine, happy to help debug this one.

Please download the latest CI build and try (I can not reproduce this issue).

just checked using the build output from action #2368, unfortunately it still looks exactly the same as my screenshot above.

I can run it again from source and check with Avalonia DevTools again, if you want? but it would help a great deal if you could give me some idea of what I should be looking for...

Actually, I don't have good advice. Because I can't reproduce this. I'm testing SourceGit on Macbook Pro M3 max with macOS Sequoia 15.3.1

[love-linger]

Try it again?

yeah, I'm on the same macOS version, only different for me is I have an M1 chip.. but I highly doubt that has any bearing here.

Try it again?

sure thing, downloading now.

same issue with the builds from action 2379 unfortunately.. 🤔

I tried resizing the "Interactive Rebase" window now and noticed something interesting, so does this short video help at all?

I know how to re-produce this issue. Because I turned off the Use monospace font only in text editor

[love-linger]

Fixed. It's because the width of commit time column is Auto, and when you are using a non-monospace font, this column's with is not unique between lines.

[ZaLiTHkA]

nice catch! I didn't think of the monospace font aspect, but in hindsight, that makes perfect sense... glad you managed to work it out.
