Description

And therefore has problems when the text gets larger (translated text). Easily seen with -s 72 and German. Before the limiting fix from yesterday the text got cropped. Now it gets ellipsized without need.

  • Cc eben added

As discussed with Martin on irc, his intention was a minimum size of the palette as described in the HIG (correct eben?). Now the slider is a bit small. I guess this has to be handled in the palette class directly as we otherwise will see issues like this one.

As a fix for 0.84 I will remove the size_request.

  • Milestone changed from 0.86 to 0.88

Looks like this will miss 0.88 :(

  • Keywords r? added

This didn't ever seem to get into the review queue... probably too late for 0.88, but leaving that milestone for the time being.

  • Keywords r? removed
  • Milestone changed from 0.88 to 0.90

Replying to walter:

That particular patch did got in, but it's only for a specific case, not for the general case.

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

I'm unconvinced we can do this in the general case. And I guess the fact that it has been here for 3 years says something.
