Description Christian Persch 2005-08-22 11:46:11 UTC 
I'd like to have a way to disallow overflowing a toolitem on a toolbar. I.e.,
when the toolbar contains item s A B C and B is never-overflow, and I shrink the
toolbar, first C is overflown, then A is overflown, and then the toolbar can
shrink no further. (Or maybe stop overflowing already when the rightmost
toolitem is never-overflow?) (I want to use this for the location entry in
Epiphany.)
Comment 1 Soren Sandmann Pedersen 2005-08-29 19:00:13 UTC 
If we do this, I certainly think we should stop when the rightmost toolitem is
never-overflow. But it doesn't seem like it would be easy to understand what was
going on though: "I added a location entry, and now epiphany can't be resized?"
Comment 2 Soren Sandmann Pedersen 2005-08-29 19:02:42 UTC 
I am not necessarily adverse to adding a gtk_tool_item_is_overflown() method
though if that would help with bug 169956.

You could still resize it; the location entry would shrink to its minimum width,
then resizing would stop. That's not different than any other window which has a
mimimum width defined by the things it contains.

don't think this is going to happen, at this point
