GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 700717
Sidepane is not resizable (can be stretched but cant be made smaller)

Created attachment 244782 [details] Bigger filename makes sidepane expand and fill up almost whole screen. Sidepane in image viewer is not resizable. It creates very horrible viewing experience when image file name length is large. It expands and fill up the screen to display whole file name in the sidepane. It should be horizontally resizable and horizontally scrollable too. Guess solution will be adding just couple lines of code. Please find attached screenshot. You will see what I am talking about.
Hmm, actually horizontal scrolling was something I wanted to avoid in the metadata sidebar. Line wrapping the filename could be an option too...
Turns out line wrapping was already enabled but only at word boundaries. Since your example filename doesn't have any "words" to wrap around it didn't wrap at all. commit cee1f77d67767487f6cf12a01f122e2d7f11b275 Author: Felix Riemann <> Date: Wed Oct 30 20:58:12 2013 +0100 EogMetadataSidebar: Allow filename to be wrapped at char boundaries It is possible for this field to contain no "word". Enable wrapping at char boundaries as fallback so that such files don't cause the sidebar enlarging too much. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=700717 --- This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
