Floating command line history text shifted too far right in AutoCAD

[jessica.kramer]

I have a problem with the command line on two laptops at home. (different machines, different install times) I have installed ACA 2017 and the command line comes up RIGHT JUSTIFIED (not technically Justified, just too far to the right?  See attachment. This happened before and after the install of the SP.

Doesn't matter if the command line is docked or floating. I typically use it floating, which is good because then I can stretch it a little closer to where I think the command text should be located.

Win10, ACA 2017 SP-1, touchscreen HP (one Envy, one Elitebook)

Thanks.

had the same issue (laptop with touchscreen); changing to lefthanded in tablet pc settings (system control > tablet pc settings > other) changed the text alignment to the left side!

Interesting.  I do not see an equivalent setting on my home desktop, with non-touch screens.  I do not have the problem of right-justified history lines here, either.  (Although in 2020, ACA appears to ignore the width to which I set my floating command line, and sets it to a width of its choosing - same width - every time I start the program or change workspaces.  That width is wider than I would prefer, but a minor annoyance, at best.)

I know I have seen the right-justified floating history lines at work, but do not remember if it happens on my desktop, or on a Surface that I occasionally use to test new deployments.  I will have to try to remember to check on this on Monday.  The Surface has a touch screen, so may have that setting.  I am not certain what other impact changing to left-handed might have, but I do not use the touch feature much (okay, at all), so that should not be a problem for me.
