Checkbutton template bugged?

[Sythalin]

Been noticing an odd behavior while I was building the GUI for DCam.

Blue Arrow: In-game pointer
Gray Box: Area registering as checkbox highlighted



I double checked this behavior with CFM's checkbuttons, found the same result:



I've never noticed this behavior when I completed CFM's GUI, although that doesn't mean it wasn't there since I never had anything else to the right of them.

Tests
Together, other addons disabled: same
CFM alone: same
DCam alone: same
Remove "SetScale(.75)": same
Readjust Label fontstring lengths: same

[u]Notes[/u[
1) Other checkbuttons (2nd, 3rd, etc. in row) in DCam config highlight at proper distance when continuing from edge of first button
2) Behavior consistent down the rows

2 Possibilites
1) I screwed up the code somewhere (most likely )
2) There's a bug in Blizz's template.

If someone could take a look, it'd be appreciated. CFM's checkbox code is a bit neater to read, so I'll post that.

fs = f:CreateFontString("CFM_ConstrainText")
        fs:SetFontObject("GameFontGreenSmall")
        fs:SetJustifyH("RIGHT")
        fs:SetWidth(90)
        fs:SetText("Width = Height?")
        fs:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", CFM_HideText, "BOTTOMLEFT", 0, -4)
        
    cb = CreateFrame("CHECKBUTTON", "CFM_ConstrainButton", CFM_Config, "OptionsCheckButtonTemplate")
        cb:SetPoint("LEFT", CFM_ConstrainText, "RIGHT", 10, 0)
        cb:SetScale(.75)
        cb:SetScript("OnClick", function()
            if selFrame == nil or selFrame == "" then
                print("Please select a frame first.")
                return
            elseif this:GetChecked() == 1 then
                activeProfile[selFrame].sameXY = true
            else
                activeProfile[selFrame].sameXY = false
            end
            end)

That's normal actually (because it expects there to be text to the right which should be clickable, I guess). See http://www.wowwiki.com/API_Frame_SetHitRectInsets

Odd. Then why do the rest of the buttons to the right of the first function fine and don't have the "extended" right edge?

EDIT: Adding a quick cb:SetHitRectInsets(0, 0, 0, 0) fixed it. Thanks. Can't believe I didn't notice this until now.

Also thought about how the frames would "overlap" their right edges and answered my own question.

Not sure; I've never made a checkbox with that template that didn't do that. I assumed it was part of it, but haven't looked TBH. Are you sure some other frame isn't on top of the hitbox of the other checkboxes?

Think of it like a stack. Poor PS visual for ya to wrap around.

3 different buttons:


All are the same length/height (work with me here, I drew it in 2 min ). Now overlap them:



The right appear to be fine, but they're just hiding under each other.

EDIT: Now I get the fun of clearing the rest of the checkboxes in the row via clicking the preferred one. Tricky one that is...

Rofl, I only have one addon that used check boxes and all of them have text beside them so, yep, never come across the problem rofl. Hmm, unless I added the text because of it. Was a long time ago

Yeah, this is because Chaos is using the template. You can also create a checkbox using your own code.

So do I, I just always set text against it automatically

SGW.Frames.AddCheckBox = function(name,parent,text)
        local checkbox = CreateFrame("CheckButton",name,parent,"OptionsCheckButtonTemplate");
        _G[checkbox:GetName().."Text"]:SetText(text);
        return checkbox;
end

I tried that. I broke stuff. Maybe again down the line.
