Description

Blender Version

Broken: 2.8

Short description of error

Properties of different types have different input field width in single column format, causing an untidy buggy-looking appearance.

Specifically the difference seems to be between enum/pointer vs numeric/prop_search:

In this example it doesn't look that bad, but if you try to mix properties of different types more closely, it looks awful (example from D3588):

Interestingly, the check box property also does not align in a column, but the difference is so big it actually looks better than the small discrepancy between enum and others.

Yes, this is a new issue that seems to have been introduced next to the prop_search alignment fix

The NDOF ( i.e. space mouse ) menu has been adversely affected by this change ( T56547) and the earlier (T56511 ).
The menu can be brought up without a space mouse: edit->User Preferences->Input
In the Window section look for the "Call Menu" item with "NDOF Menu" key and change it to your preferred key.
Here's the affected menu:

If I comment out line 819 of blender/source/blender/editors/interface/interface_layout.c
i.e. //uiItemL(sub, NULL, ICON_BLANK1);
the NDOF menu will appear normal


Sorry, I don't have a proper fix to suggest at this time.
