Description Pedro Beja 2014-07-23 17:55:40 UTC
Forwarding from debian BTS [ #575134 - nautilus: properties window extends outside of the screen limit ]

by Paolo Scarabelli :

"On files with a large number of keywords the properties window extends
outside of the screen limit.

In my case, it happens in faxes I receive by email. It seems the fax 
service provider is using an ocr and is saving the resulting text in 
the "keywords" field of the tiff file.

Maybe the document data tab should have a scrollbar or the keyword text
could be limited to a few lines.

I attach a screenshot of the defect, please note that the scrambled text 
is just the result of ocr on a poor quality fax.

Regards,

Paolo."

there is a few examples on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=575134 like pdf and png files.

thanks

Thanks for the bug report. The "Document" properties page is an extension provided by evince.

Tentatively reassigning to evince. Please reassign back to nautilus if this is a bug in nautilus extension support.

Ok António.

Let's wait for an answer for now.

thanks

properties: Fix dialog extending past edge of screen

A property with a lot of newlines can extend Nautilus's file properties
dialog past the edge of the screen.  Replace these newlines with spaces
to limit the vertical size and let the label's ellipsizing work
correctly.  Have labels wrap for up to five lines in case someone is
relying on the properties dialog showing large properties.  Place
properties page in a GtkScrolledWindow in case it is still too tall.

Image shows what the Nautilus Properties dialog looks like for this bug's document with this patch. For most other documents it will look the same as it did previously.
