Description Chris Good 2014-02-02 00:52:52 UTC 
GC 2.6.1 Windows 7 64 bit
The Report Options dialog field for the Report Name is too short - All my reports have the name truncated.

It seems like there is plenty of space for it to be made twice as long.
This has been like this since at least 2.4.11.

Hi,
can you mention a sample report, and a sample name? What is the name and to what it's been truncated. I'm trying to reproduce in 2.6.3 but cannot.
Comment 2 Chris Good 2014-05-09 23:57:01 UTC 
Hi Michalis,

I should have been clearer.
The Report Name is not truncated.
The textbox is just not wide enough to show it all.

E.G.
Advanced Portfolio Maree & Chris Good

Only 'Advanced Portfolio Mar' shows.

I know this is not very important, but it is annoying and hopefully easily fixed.

Often I suffix my report names with something to differentiate the reports.
Comment 3 Chris Good 2014-05-09 23:59:32 UTC 
BTW, this also the same in 2.6.2.
Comment 4 Geert Janssens 2014-06-10 11:42:12 UTC 
Thank's for the report.

It took me some time to track this issue, but in the end the fix was a one-liner. It will appear in gnucash 2.6.4 and beyond.
