This prevents titles of bookmark from overlapping the "close/minimize/maximize" buttons on the Bookmark Info panel.

Doesn't work. Try entering all M's (capital "M" is the widest character, hence the name "em dash") for a title. I think this is a cocoa bug, is it fixed in panther?

This issue is fixed under Panther.

recommend close as WFM.

wait, what about the patch?

I guess that it would still help on 10.{1,2}. But the proposed patch isn't a good solution, since a name of 43 "M"s will still overrun the buttons. I guess it could be better to reduce the length to whatever number of "M"s will not overrun. ideally it should measure the width of the string in question though.

would a shorter max fix it? if it's simple to fix on 10.1/2, then why not? How about 40? That should be MORE than plenty, eh?

I think that "M" is usually the widest character. So anything less than 43 characters would be a workaround.

Mike would you commit a Max at 40 ?

Comment on attachment 133832 [details] [diff] [review] david's patch Mike Could you check this one with a value of 40 ?

so with a string of all 'M's, the best i can get is 25 characters to not overflow. not even sure how that localizes to say, japanese. and 25 characters isn't really all that much for strings that aren't all 'M'. why not just allow the window to resize and chalk it up to an os bug?

not going to fix this. workaround: resize the window.
