GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 528455
Metadata box should have limited width
Last modified: 2009-01-21 12:39:35 UTC
This bug has been filed here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/184874 "Actually, this is just a suggestion. When a PDF has a large title or a lot of subject text in its metadata there is no automatic line break in the metadata display window. So you have to widen it - sometimes two or three times the size of your monitor to read the complete text. It would be very nice to have a slightly larger standard metadata window with an automated line break, so in the worst case you only need to scroll down." "If there is a lot of metadata in the titel or description then I have to expand the small box about twenty times its size to read the whole content (cf. attached file). It would be enough if the box had some kind of automatic line break or justifying - like this HTML page for example which breaks text automatically when resized." screenshot: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12335717/evince_metadata_box_extended.png file: http://www.fundmuenzen.ch/downloads/artikel/nick_circ_mon.pdf Thanks,

Sorry, Pedro, can you confirm whether the metadata window is displayed as i in this attachment (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=126910&action=view)? Thanks, Pablo
Sorry, Pedro, can you confirm whether the metadata window is displayed with limited with or not? Using evince-2.25.5 I got limited with window ((http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=126910&action=view). Thanks, Pablo
Pablo, yes it's the same behavior, you only get that wider window if you resize it in order to see the metadata. Cheers,
