[0.124] No more line break at 80 characters
Last modified: 2007-02-20 10:33:39 UTC
Since Version 0.124 (Goblin Words) I've issues concerning the text width. I get warnings about long lines (>80 chrs) but before 0.124 there has been an automagic break... Any hints?
BTW: I Had no problems with 0.12(123), it just started with 0.124.
Created attachment 82778 [details] [review] Test patch Yep, the wrapping code changed in 0.124. Give this patch a spin.
Created attachment 82807 [details] [review] test patch #2 Based on feedback from Jack Cuyler and Artur Jachacy in pan-users. This revision (1) fixes the OE-style quoting bug and (2) ensures cursor focus goes to the right widget when pulling up a reply or new-message window.
Yup, these are gone. Now what's left is breaking long urls and one other thing I've noticed: you can't properly quote long words (well, strings of characters) without wrapping them. Quoting looks like this: > verylongword > anotherverylongword
long URL and long word handling are both artifacts of how pango_layout_set_wrap() decides where to wrap in PANGO_WRAP_WORD, and really out of Pan's control. It would be nice if they worked, but don't think they're as serious as the other 0.124 wrap bugs. How do you find Pan's usability with the patch in comment #3 as compared to the old way of wrapping text?
Sorry Charles, haven't tested yet. Right now I'm back at 0.123 and feel fine. BTW: Where and how can I access this pan-users? Your website is a little bit out of date in this specific point. Did you also mention that with 0.124 a lot of wrong and misspelled links at your website? I'm not aware where and how to report this as long as the contacts given there seems all to be outdated or invalid. Actually you are the first real pan developer/user I reach out there... PS: There is also a Bug in 0.124 (which annoys me) concerning the Sig separator which worked fine in 0.123 and before. It is claiming about '--' is not a valid separator and it should be '--'!?
longint: the patch in comment #3 fixes the signature delimiter bug too. pan-users is at http://pan.rebelbase.com/mailing-lists/ . If you list the misspelled words/links here and I'll fix the web site. Thanks for the heads-up.
Charles, thx. I assume you mean mailing_lists instead? Errors (still) on the web site: - home page: at the very beginning you still mention 0.123 as the current release, named as goblin words, linked to 0.124 - download page: here you have it the other way round: 0.124 is mentioned but 0.123 is linked - the mailing list leads to a working site now, thx (I'm quite sure that this has been wring some time ago) Is there any chance fpr 0.125 including the patch soon?
BTW: There is an old version mentioned for gentoo at the download page (should be 0.124 instead of 0.122). But anyway: It would be a good idea to drop the specific version and just write "most current" in case of gentoo :-).
Charles, TBH I find it worse. In older versions the main problem was with pasting long paragraphs, where wrapping could be done by hand, whereas now there's no way to post a long URL, which is quite irritating to me and also it's one of the characteristics of OE-based posts. Long words are a negligible issue.
