[Desktop-packages] [Bug 819994] Re: String length of items seems limited (system settings label get truncated)
Sebastien, of course it's customized, pc has a larger size monitor than my laptop. On laptop the font size is 11 but the window itself is way too large it almost uses half of the desktop. The ccsm window is resizable and looks fine in any mode or font size. Why do I need to defend or explain a custom setup anyway? Do we talk about font size or a compiled kernel here? Please don't mix cause and effect. The user didn't break the UI - developers did. Thus I'd like to ask developers if they have an idea to fix the issue. Imho the solution is to revert incomprehensible decisions like windows shouldn't be resizable. Or are developers telling us, don't customize your font size, no matter which monitor, you're doomed to select 8-10 font size otherwise try accessibility features? Fine, then they should say so loud, so users know, this DE isn't one which should be customized, otherwise it may become useless. Then why font-selector has an option to resize larger than 10 in the first place if anything above 10 can make an UI unuseable? Sounded pretty realistic in the past. ... however each user has different preferences. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/font-selector No answer yet there. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649242#c16 Window size mandatory. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=666000 Example how perfect it looks when using smaller font size.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 819994] Re: String length of items seems limited (system settings label get truncated)
Imho comparing g-c-c and ccsm it's so mega embarrassing that it makes me cry when they deliver an LTS with such an UI of a core app. Millions are now doomed to view this daily for five years? There is and has been no alternative? No plan B if gtk-3 fails?

Which strings are affected? Since this is apparently a GTK issue, is it thousands (and thus impossible to fix for translators)?

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 819994] Re: String length of items seems limited (system settings label get truncated)
Is this length restriction of13 (???) chars per word now _definitively_ the length ALL the translators have to stick to with their translations? Or is this serious cosmetic bug _going to be fixed_ or the restriction to be expanded? I don't know whether to change the translations now or to wait for improvement of the GUI. There are a lot of languages (not only German, Dutch etc.) where it is practically impossible or at least very ugly to squeeze/shorten words like this. In the GNOME bug tracker there seems to be _no activity_ on this bug since 2011-04-13 (nearly one year???).
