Firefox Aurora 20141126 on Windows 8.1

The localized texts for 'Name this conversation' are often too long to fit the available space.

How much of a problem is this?  (If this needinfo should go to someone else, please redirect.)  I tentatively have this in the F36 bucket.

What's the longest string we have? Might be simply a matter of slightly reducing the font size.

Imagine cropping a string in a very prominent part of the UI for English, how would that feel? ;-)

IMO there's plenty of space to have the text wrapping on two lines, and I expect to have truncated strings on several locales

On which version are conversations expected to be enabled?
Currently the "conversations" (a.k.a. "Rooms") UI is scheduled to go out in Fx35.
That's what I thought :-\

It would be really useful to target this for fx35 then, also considering that non en-US users are the majority out there.
Makes sense.  Let's get this as good as we can in Fx35 and keep improving it in Fx36 and Fx37 in follow up bugs.

Yes, we will need to do a review of this as the panel isn't working at peak efficiency.

Problems:

- Name this conversation text does not fit in other languages
- Invite someone to join you text is too high above related buttons
- Button widths can be bigger for larger targets
- Even after I name a conversation, when I come back to this panel I still see a "Name this conversation" box.

Now, having said this I'm not sure it's a major priority /right now/. I would say let's reduce the font size of "Name this conversation" and confirm that all locales fit, then revisit this very soon.

Additionally, where can I find a list of all panels (preferably with screenshots) so I can do an overall panel review?

Hey Shell -- Can I ask you to work with Sevaan on his last request (in Comment 8)?  He needs a list of all panels (preferably with screenshots) so he can do a overall panel review.  We want to do this ASAP so we don't have any surprises in January.  (We should file a new bug for this work.)  Thanks!

Just updating bugzilla to match trello (and reality).
