#4164 closed defect (fixed)

Not all Activity titles in Home Favourites view Palettes are truncated

Reported by:	garycmartin	Owned by:	humitos
Priority:	Normal	Milestone:
Component:	Sugar	Version:	Unspecified
Severity:	Minor	Keywords:	13.1.0, regression, r+, olpc-test-pending
Cc:	humitos, erikos	Distribution/OS:	Unspecified
Bug Status:	Unconfirmed

Description

For very long Activity titles, the name in the top of the Palette correctly gets an ellipsis and shortened, but the Activity titles below (for entry resuming) are not truncated and causes the palette to open wider than the display. In previous releases this palette was limited to something like 3/2 of the display width. See attached screen shots of previous release and the current 13.1.0 build with latest test patches.

Well, I found this was lost when PaletteMenuItem was added in 2d0ac2a95219992ac5be003816fdb97ff5f6af6f of sugar source code.

That class does not handle the text_maxlen argument (default to 60). I used this argument to set the Gtk.Label's size: label.set_max_width_chars and use MIDDLE for its EllipSizeMode as sugar3.graphics.palette.Palette does for its title and subtitle.

With these settings, the title of the palette and its items share the same behaviour and are rendered with the same width.
