Package: caja
Version: 1.24.0-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: qazwsx...@gmx.net
Dear Maintainer,
Caja inserts spurious hyphens into filenames in icon view whenever such
filenames are too long to fit on one line.
This bug severely affects usability because it causes unique filenames
to be shown as not unique as explained below.
* What led up to the situation?
Displaying a file name like "thisisaverylongfilename.txt" in Caja's icon view.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Displaying a file name like "thisisaverylongfilename.txt" in Caja's icon view.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Caja displays the filename across two lines below the icon, like so:
thisisaverylongfi-
lename.txt
Note the hyphen inserted at the end of the first line which is NOT part of
the filename.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
That Caja displays the filename without inserting any hyphen or any other
character. With the hyphen inserted it becomes impossible to distinguish
between "thisisaverylongfilename.txt" and "thisisaverylongfi-lename.txt"
because both will be displayed with a hyphen between 'fi' and 'le'.
