3.2 M5

Noticed that the label in the progress indicator was truncated (with "..." in the middle), but there was still quite a bit of available space to the right.

Also, notice the vertical line between the trim drag handle and the text.  Is that a legacy separator that can be removed?

I recommend just using a CLabel, which uses an ellipsis in the middle, rather than doing our own truncation.
Comment 4 Nick Edgar CLA 2006-03-10 17:36:57 EST 
For consistency with view and editor tabs, we should probably truncate at the end instead (although CLabel currently only truncates in the middle).  I find truncation in the middle to be highly unreadable.  That's really a separate issue than the wasted space though.

This was fixed up in 3.3.
