32860 - installer dialog truncates current path without adding '...'

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect, P2)

Description

[John Morrison]

This one is just a minor quibble with the windows install dialogs ...

My prior install of Netscape 6 was into the directory
  "c:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape 6 Trunk"

When I went to install today's build, this directory was displayed to me in teh 
dialog as 
  "c:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape 6"

It had been truncated to fit the space, but not ellipsis '...' had been added to 
indicate that what was displayed was not the full name. 

Obviously, this is just a fit and finish detail, somewhere down the road (i.e., 
I don't see it as time critical, but just thought I would note it).

filing a bug to keep track of things is a very good idea.  Thanks.

Actually the truncation is not 100% right. Please see the attached image in bug 
33082 for a correct way. Should I open a new bug report or use this one?

j:\Program Files\Mozilla\Seamonkey\this is ...
IMO that's fine.
Marking FIXED

While this is not the most critical bug on the list, it is still not working
correctly. In some circumstances, an ellipsis ... is shown, but not in all
cases. I'll attach an image.

If you enter:
"c:\Program Files\mozilla.org33333333333333333333"
the dots (...) appears

but if you have:
"c:\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape 6 Trunk"
no dots!

Comment 13

[Sean Su]

should be fixed now.  the dots should now appear in the middle of the path
instead of the end.
