nwggrid: Long label changes grid columns #228
Comments
|
As stated in README, I withdrew from this project and I am not sure if it is still maintained. The last commit by @Siborgium happened two years ago. Let's see if he's going to respond. If you by accident are on some wlroots-based compositor, you may want to try nwg-drawer instead. Unfortunately it doesn't support X11 WMs. |

What version of nwggrid are you running? Both 0.7.1.1 and one built from c4d8d36 do truncate labels. |
|
I.e. |
|
Some labels are truncated, but some (notably "PulseAudio Volume Control") are not
And then when I click on a category with apps that don't have long labels, it will show it in e.g. two columns or three columns. |

Thanks. I believe I've found the cause of this problem, so stay tuned - I think I'll be able to upload a fix within 2-3 days. |

@earboxer try the branch linked above. I was unable to reproduce the issue on my own, but I believe this should fix the issue. Please let me know if it does. Otherwise, did you try to set a different number of columns (-n )? |

Yeah, that seems to fix it, at the expense of adding horizontal scrolling (making the new ticket called "Long label forces horizontal scrolling")

When I launch nwggrid, I have one app with a really long label ("PulseAudio Volume Control" ). Whenever this app is present, the number of columns is not fixed to the value I defined in grid.conf
One way I found to handle this is by decreasing the font size,
but I would really like if long labels could either be truncated (with ellipses), or wrapped to multiple lines.
Is there another way to deal with this in the CSS, or do we need code to handle it?
