Description tchalvakspam 2009-10-07 23:43:04 UTC 
It would be nice if there were a limit on how far the currently-working-on description for the taskbar was allowed to stretch. I use Hamster/Time Tracker for work, and sometimes my descriptions get really long “Working on stuff for case 234234 where the end of the page is broken.” and then is pushes other things on my taskbar around. Would be nice if it were truncated at a certain length, like “Working on stuff for case 234…”

fixed in git master - ellipsizing at 25 symbols.  Figured 25 should be long enough. Alternatively we could set the maximum button width based on the screen size, but that would yield non-uniform results.
