Description Havoc Pennington 2002-08-23 19:43:12 UTC 
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67858

This hack just pads the left margin. Someone should fix it for real
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81906)

Comment 5 bill.haneman 2002-11-23 17:27:28 UTC 
bordoley just marked 99210 as a duplicate... but the attached patch
won't fix 99210 (the padding is not wide enough, and as Havoc says, it 
should not just pad the margin by some fixed amount).

This bug is considerably aggravated by large-print themes, of course.
Comment 6 Havoc Pennington 2002-11-23 20:59:43 UTC 
Alex already fixed this for real, as far as I know. 
He added word-falling-back-to-chars wrapping to Pango and then 
made icon text wrap by chars if required. At least I thought so.
Comment 7 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-11-24 11:46:58 UTC 
Well I have a copy of cvs head and I still experience this bug on the
desktop.
Comment 8 Havoc Pennington 2002-11-24 16:26:03 UTC 
Hmm, yes - me too, but it isn't nearly as bad as it used to be.

Previously if you had the word "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" that word 
would never be split, it would just be centered under the icon, so 
you would lose lots of initial letters offscreen.

Now there seems to be some miscalculation still, but the long word does 
get wrapped. I would guess the remaining fix is relatively simple 
(perhaps be sure to indent icons by the max left extent of the text).

I dunno, someone should ask Alex.
Comment 9 Alexander Larsson 2002-11-25 14:34:15 UTC 
I sometimes see it to, I don't know what's causing it though, and I
haven't had time to investigate.

Updating status_whiteboard field to reflect A11Y team's assessment 
of accessibility impact.
Comment 12 Calum Benson 2003-08-07 16:19:04 UTC 
Apologies for spam... marking as GNOMEVER2.3 so it appears on the official GNOME
bug list :)
Comment 13 Kjartan Maraas 2003-10-28 14:29:07 UTC 
Adding 2.5 keyword and removing PATCH since that patch is likely to be
outdated by now anyway.
Comment 14 Dave Camp 2004-04-27 21:13:44 UTC 
I fixed a margin bug a few months back.  Can anybody still reproduce this?
Comment 15 Calum Benson 2004-10-21 16:48:54 UTC 
Apologies for spam-- ensuring Sun a11y team are cc'ed on all current a11y bugs.
