Hi,
It is me or are the "new" forms really bad for designers? I'm trying to create a custom tool and I lost so much time on fighting with the form "layout"... The auto-align function causes so many issues, not to speak that dark and light mode are not the same and 17.2 is unusable...
To create a semi-decent form that works/looks fine in 17.4 dark and light mode is almost impossible.
It would be great to let the user decide if he wants to use the auto-align function or not or at least to have some option for fields to overwrite this... Or please give us some form editor to draw the form graphically instead of text editor/try and error... I lost so much time on the layout of the form some days more than on actually writing the code...
Here list of issues:
- FIELDs with POPups are different width in light and dark theme
- OPTION RIGHT for text is hard to handle
- any long TEXT is an issue it will jump higher than regular shorter TEXT
- positioning fields/controls close together is impossible
- auto align is unpredictable creating random spaces sometimes more than a couple of centimetres
- BUTTONs auto-size is hard to handle/predict
- many more...
I read the migration suggestion and new form handling, but honestly, it doesn't help much... Anyone else has the same feeling?
