New Plug-in Project showing truncated banner text none

Description Jay Cagle CLA 2003-05-22 23:18:52 EDT 
Currently if wizard banner text is too long for the line, it's truncated.  
Hovering over it produces a pop-up with the complete text (unless I suppose 
it's too long to fit on the screen).  In any case this looks really bad.  If 
the text is too long for one line, it should be wrapped to multiple lines.  A 
good UI designer isn't going to write wizard banner text that's enormously 
long, but the wizard framework should be able to handle it.

This is designed to be two lines long so I think you have just found a 
wrapping bug rather than a required change.

Looking at the screenshot it appears that your default font is not the 
standard Tahoma 8 - please let us know what it is an whether you set it by 
specifying the font or selecting large or extra large fonts.
Comment 3 Tod Creasey CLA 2003-05-28 15:54:17 EDT 
Replicated using Tahoma 12.
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2003-05-29 16:18:43 EDT 
Fixed in build >20030529. The attachment decision was not taking font size 
into account.
