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 regards althaser
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 Pedro
Created attachment 365974 [details] [review] 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.
Created attachment 365975 [details] nautilus-properties-after.png 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.
