Description Aida Jonikienė 2024-02-14 02:34:12 UTC

Hello,

So wineboot has the string of the prefix path cut off in the updating prefix dialog since the regression commit mentioned above (because of the now default whitespace-based word wrapping)

Fixing this will likely require a custom word-wrap thing which I can't really do because strings in C are a bit messy (the fix should be backported to 9.0 as well)

Can you provide a screenshot?

I made a quick screenshot if you want to know how the bug looks like (the prefix path is /tmp/wine-frog-tadpole-ribbit-frog-tadpole-ribbit-frog-tadpole-ribbit in this case)

Comment 3 Nikolay Sivov 2024-05-01 15:08:11 UTC

Even if that wrapped you could make it 10 times longer anyway, and user32 dialogs are not meant to automatically dynamically resize for content. Instead maybe we could collapse the path, keeping start and end parts, adding some dots in between. Maybe there is even a function for that.
