Description Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2009-01-30 18:04:56 UTC
The name should be ellipsized or instead of:

<name> <volume slider>


it could be:

<name>
<volume slider>


It feels weird that the window size jumps

Btw, I attached to bug #569871 a video where this bug can be seen also (although the video demos another bug):

Avoid long application names make the window jump

The patch doesn't work as expected, the label ends up being as short as possible (ie. '...').

Jon, should we change the layout for the horizontal case in use in the apps page?

This would also help us fix bug 591746.

    Use ellipsise in the application bars
    
    So as to avoid the width of the dialogue changing when
    streams with really long names come in.
