GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 576434
ellipsize long status messages in the status combobox
Last modified: 2009-12-21 10:31:14 UTC
When the user sets a long custom status message, the combobox drop-down menu gets excessively wide. For displaying the combobox menu, we should ellipsize messages that are longer than a certain threshold.

Bug still present with the new presence chooser.
I put a patch in my git repo: http://cll.uqam.ca/git/ppotvin/empathy.git Branch : 576434 It's my first time contributing to empathy so I tried correcting a small bug. Tell me if everything's ok and I'll get working on other things :D
Great Pascal, welcome on board! I get a 403 error when trying to access to your repo. Maybe you forgot to fix the permissions?
Yep, and now the server is down... While I wait for my university to set the connection again, I created a fork on repo.or.cz... git://repo.or.cz/empathy/ppotvin.git Same branch : 576434 Tell me if something's wrong =D
Great! I removed a blank lines containing trailing spaces (for you information, you can use "make check" to detect those), rebased the patch on top of master and merged it. Thanks a lot for your contribution. 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.
