[Not A Bug] Different spacing between window items in arm64 compared to x86_64

[karlingen]

Please see attached screenshot.
Left: x86_64. Right: arm64.
Both have the exact same configuration loaded but the spacing/padding between the rows is different.
This is the preferences window, but it’s the same in the FX Window.

This one's still an issue

there’s an option in preferences/general/advanced, something about listview margins on big sur, that may affect this. But in general that’s a macOS-quirk and not a bug (live with it)

I'm not comparing the Windows and macOS version of Reaper here. The image I posted above is the same Reaper version on the exact same Mac but with two different builds - the x86_64 and the arm64/universal build.

I have both builds installed and I only see the issue in the arm64/universal build. How come?

They look different because when an application is built, the version of the macOS SDK affects the appearance of its list/tree controls, and those two builds use different SDK versions (the intel build uses an older SDK for maximum compatibility).

Oh I see. Thanks for clarifying that! I'll mark this as "won't fix"

"not a bug" is more accurate
