Description Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2011-09-24 10:06:48 UTC
I don't know how is calculate the g-c-c window geometry but in the user account panel the user name is ellipsized too early (at 15 characters) but there is a lot of place remaining, I would say 30.

The ellipsize was set to 15 but there is still a room for text to be diplayed. Set to to 27.

Review of attachment 197391 [details] [review]:

27 was fine on my setup because I use text scale factor set to 0.8

Also the wrong approach.

    user-accounts: Fix sizing problems in user list
    
    About half-way through the user list, vertically, the user's name
    would get cut off. Showing the treeview headers showed that the
    "automatic login" pixbuf was added in a separate column.
    
    To make sizing easier, and avoid the user's name being cut off
    half-way through, add the "automatic-login" icon in the first column.
