GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 347526
Quick Bookmark label truncated
Last modified: 2006-07-15 19:26:45 UTC
When the text "Trac" is used as a label for a Quick Bookmark it is truncated as "Tr...". Other button labels starting with "Tr" also exibit this truncation due to a misestimation of the necessary button width. With the Gnome standard application font setting "Sans 10pt" the "r" starts slightly under the rightmost part of the "T", so the "Tr" combination is slightly narrower than the sum of the two letter widths. Somehow this causes Quick Bookmark labels starting with "Tr" to be slightly too small to fit the text so it gets elipsized. Changing Gnome's application font to size 11 or larger, or to another font such as "Bitstream Vera Sans" seems to fix this. This may actually be a bug in the GTK widget or a problem with the font itself, but I'm not sure how to debug that.
