Good one, thanks

I think this is a bug in the HIG.

As a user I am confused by the current reccomnedation as implemented
in gedit for instance. 

Then post a bug to the hig. When it will be fixed we will change it 
back.

no there is no bug in the hig. elipses are only needed when an action
requires user input one example is rename in nautilus. The user
doesn't have to provide any input when using these dialogs (they could
be just viewing the content, i know its a subtle difference).

i went through nautilus with calum awhile ago so i am fairly certain
it is correct, while i am unsure of how thorough a ui review gedit has
had.

I know what the hig currently says and I think I am familiar with (the
little) rationale behind it. And I already posted to usability@gnome.org.

Thanks anyway.

One thing thats certain is that the "Find" menuitem should be
ellipsized no matter whats the resolution of that HIG bug i posted.

I removed ellipses from that too ? eeek ;)

Hmmm my Find item is actually ellipsized.
Can you try to remove _label="Find" from the Find <cmd... in
galeon-ui.xml.in and see if that fix the problem ?
I dont get why this would not work for you though ...

Duh, I am wrong about the Find...sorry. Since I didnt have galeon2
running I only examined the ui xml file and got confused bye the verb
lable name

Heh closing it again ... hope it's ok

I dont think its ok.
The bug is dependant on that other HIG bug. (which has got zero
attention so far)
