They are bigger - I noticed that when we upgraded too but the way we use the tab control everything just realigned the same way.

FWIW - When we use tabs we place the tab control then cut (RMB Option) the user object.  We then insert our user object which has all the controls (ie. DataWindows).  We have never placed a DataWindow directly on a tab.  Maybe that is the 'bug'?

Here's a link to a little video I made to show the problem after migration to PB 2019:

Ok, I didn't realise you had 'multi line' selected for your tabcontrol.

So I've made it multiline in my initial sample app, and then migrated it to 2019.

It looks ok to me.

You have to do a "File > New > Untitled for Sheet 1" by the way. The tab is on the first sheet window.

I've attached the modified app and already migrated to 2019.

Meanwhile I've made a small sample application in PB2017 R3, so you can also try on your side if my sample reproduces the same problem after migrating to PB2019.

See attached.

Attached are a sample application in PowerBuilder 2017 and the converted to PowerBuilder 2018 version. If you look carefully you can see the tab control in 2019 now ends below the yellow box. It's not a huge a difference as it was with my original application, but hopefully it proves something is going on.

So far I suspect the tab header is a different size in 2019 than 2017.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

So, does it look like that bad in the 2019 IDE also, or only when running the application?

It doesn't happen to me, being on 2019 R3 - 2703.

Could you check your properties on the tab control? Maybe one of them has accidentally changed, as you know when using the mouse wheel on the properties that can easily happen.

These are my settings:

Attached three images.

There is one called PB2017 - this is how the window looked in the painter, it does not change when the application is run. The datawindow is in the desired location for the tab control.

PB2019 - same window, compared source, no changes, checked X and Y coords, all the same but now it looks like the datawindow is too high up on the tab control (in fct I think the tab headers are now taller), still looks this way when the application is run.

Third image shows both images loaded and zoomed in paint, if I got it right it looks like the 2017 tab header was 4 and a bit paint squares high, the new one is 5.

I checked two other windows in the application, they have the same issue. All thats' been done is open a 2017 workspace in 2019 and do a full recompile.

Any thoughts are wlecome!

We haven't had this problem when changing from 2017 to 2019.

I do know that there's been some kind of a fix (=change) on tab page labels to make them have "correct" pictures (if used). I can't remember exactly what it was, but the width would all be the same if I remember well.

So I'm afraid I cannot help you out much here.

Could you post 2 images that mark the difference so people would understand exactly what you mean?

Also, are you using DPI scaling in your windows display settings? Lots of laptops use 125% which causes problems.
