Strange Happenings with Icon text...

[durex]

Ok, so one thing I just noticed after I ran my latest version of uA install is that somehow my icon labels were effected.

When I goto rename them, after I type the 2nd or 3rd letter all you see is a single letter being typed at a time for each letter after.

So for example, say the label want to rename the icon to 'testing'. I highlight the icon, press f2 to rename, type 't' 'e' (so at this point all i see is 'te'), then as soon as I type the letter 's' all i see is the letter 's', then I type 't' and all i see is the letter 't'.... it does this for each letter there after.

Once Im done renaming it, I press enter and it renames to 'testing' as it should, but normally I should be able to see the entire word as Im typing it. I scanned through my regtweaks and dont have the slightest idea how or why this happend.

Hope I made this clear...

Any ideas?

Found how to fix it but still have no idea how it happend.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics]
"ScrollHeight"="-255"
"ScrollWidth"="-255"

They were set to -195 for some reason....

Ok.. so this didnt fix it after all... does anyone have any idea whats going on with this? Anyone experiencing this??

EDIT:: Okay.. to help people understand exactly what my issue is, I made 2 small videos that display whats actually happening.

1st.. take a peak at a PC that editing icon text works as it should

Works! (584KB)

Now, heres what my PC does when I edit desktop icons...

Busted!! (194 KB)

Hope this helps clear up what the problem is.. and more importantly helps figure out what the solution is!

UPDATE 2: Well, Ive verified this only occurs when I use custom themes... at least the only 2 custom themes I have installed. Anyone happen to know what regtweaks would effect the icon text box like this?
