1819326 - Calendar names in calendar list don't wrap

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Calendar :: Calendar Frontend, defect)

Description

[Martin Giger [:freaktechnik]]

STR:

• Add a local calendar named "very very extra long calendar name so the sidebar gets extra wide"

Expected result:
The calendar name is wrapped over multiple lines (and possibly overflowing with text ellipsis?)

Actual result:
The calendar name is shown in a single line, making the min width of the calendar sidebar wider.

mozregression pinpoints this to https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=0fc6159e23b31a7e4af1666b5a0f509c6f21bbfb&tochange=48a45f998a6e38097493f4823d0779f24cd7409d which coincides with the flexbox changes, but that should only affect daily, in theory. However, I've first noticed this on beta 111.0b1. As such, it might still be related to changes around the flexbox emulation work.

Further of note is that even the "old" layout didn't handle names without spaces very well, since it couldn't wrap those and it didn't like to overflow the text (at least in builds from this year).

Weird that I didn't get bug 1816010 in the regression range. I might've typed a good or bad wrongly.

Also, if we're going to overflow the calendar name, we should at least provide the full name in a tooltip.

Wrapping over multiple rows probably ends up looking weird. Didn't it always just add ellipsis?

Nope, it always wrapped. (102 screenshot)
Indeed, text overflow ellipses and a full name tooltip title is the way to go.

This has since been fixed so we overflow the calendar name with ellipsis. Probably by some other flexbox fix in the calendar tab.
