Need to make status area for insert/overwrite wider to accommodate translations 
that are longer than the text in English (this particular example is Swedish).  
This status widget is contributed by the Text component, from what I 
understand, so moving to Platform-Text.
Comment 4 Dani Megert CLA 2005-11-09 03:41:33 EST
The full name is shown when hovering over it.
We'd need to compute the minimal size out ouf the translated string.

3.1.2 if code change is trivial.
Comment 5 CDE Administration CLA 2005-11-10 11:00:57 EST
The same happens in PT: the field should be enlarged enough to contain the following string "Inserção inteligente" (Smart Insert).

Thank you!
Comment 6 CDE Administration CLA 2005-11-10 12:00:40 EST
It's the same problem for the status area 'Sync Paused', the translation
'Synkronisering pausad' is truncated. See the attached gif.
Please enlarge that area.

The 'Sync Paused' status line item is not contributed by Platform Text.
Comment 9 Karice McIntyre CLA 2005-11-10 12:18:12 EST
Seems like the Sync Paused message comes from the CVS component.  

CDE Admin - please log a new bug against Platform-CVS for the request in 
comment #6, and attach the screen shot to the new bug. 
Comment 10 CDE Administration CLA 2005-11-10 12:45:40 EST
Hi, the Dutch Eclipse panel has similar problems, especially for the synchronisation text on the bottom of the screen. Although when you hover on it you see the full text, any enlargement of the box would be more than welcome.

Thanks,
Gerard

Thanks Karice. Mats, could you open a separate TCT for that and attached the 
screen shot, please? Please mention that it's happening to Swedish and Dutch. 
Thanks.

Opened TCT 217 for the Sync Paused truncation
Comment 13 CDE Administration CLA 2005-11-10 14:01:29 EST
This refers to the truncated Smart Insert string (as is the title of the tct article).
The Smart insert string in the status bar at the bottom of the screen is truncated for Danish too.

Not trivial and would even need API changes. We won't change this for 3.1.2 since the full string is visible when hovering over it.
Comment 16 Lars Vogel CLA 2019-09-04 03:00:53 EDT
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and remove the stalebug whiteboard tag. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
