Description Bengt Thuree 2006-03-18 12:57:46 UTC 
The Transfer field is to small by default.
I would like to propose that GnuCash should automatically adjust the presented text from:

Assets:Investments:Brokerage Account:CitiGroup:Cash
(where it is only displaying on my screen
Assets:Investments:Brokerage )

to something like:

Asset.....CitiGroup:Cash

Of course, the "...." would have to be inserted at some logical places to make the abbreviation work as good as possible.

When the field is resized the text should of course also be re-calculated.

Sounds like a good proposal. (In your case the cell display probably does a "word wrap" after the space character, which of course is not so good.) This is probably related to bug#129099. The implementation is not completely trivial, so I'm not sure how fast this will be available.

(cleaning up summary)

I think the GtkTextCellRenderer supports this pretty automagically, so maybe this'll be straightforward in register-rewrite-land.

Just testing this on Fedora 14 using your account name I see:

kerage Account:CitiGroup:Cash

with no break at the space and obviusly the tail end of the string.  Does this mean it's fixed or just changed, and is this acceptable?
Comment 4 Mike Evans 2011-11-24 10:29:51 UTC 
Closing this old bug as obsolete.
