Check box wrong size at design time

[David Marcus]

Create a new VCL app.
Drop a TRzCheckBox on Form1.
Set Checked to true.
Set ThemeAware to false.
Set HotTrack to true.

Notice that the check box is larger than the check mark.

Run the app.
The check box is the correct size (same as the check mark).

Screenshot attached.

This makes it hard to design forms. Is this a bug with the compiled
design-time packages that Embarcadero provides? I installed KSVC via GetIt.

I should have said that this is with Delphi 10.4. It works fine with Delphi 10.3.

Hi Barry,

Thank you for the report. I am able to duplicate the issue you describe. The root cause of the issue is that in 10.4 the IDE (including the Form Designer) is using VCL Styles. I’ve received some other reports of similar type problems that are resulting from the Form Designer now rendering controls using VCL Styles at design-time. Unfortunately, I will have to think about how best to handle this in the library. I’ll certainly keep you posted. Fortunately, the controls appear to be working just fine at runtime.

Ray,

Thank you. Should I also report this to Embarcadero?

Well, since they currently own the components, I guess you could. However, I have no confidence that they will do anything about it. I’m trying to figure out what to do.

I submitted a case to Embarcadero Support. I’ll let you know if I get a reply.

Embarcadero Support asked that I submit to the Quality Portal: https://quality.embarcadero.com/browse/RSP-29903
