Text not wrapping properly in mod info panel

[Iritscen]

Notice "Creator" and "Description" fields in attached screenshot. URLs break most of the mod's description fields like that.

I don't see how the URL problem could be fixed for the description field as the URLs are just that long. The better solution would be to change the descriptions on the Depot itself to use <a> tags with a shorter text (i.e. in your example something like: "For more info, screenshots, and if you have any questions visit the forum thread" where the last two words are linked).

[Iritscen]

I see. I guess that's feasible for me to change.

Tried it. Seems to have made the text wrap even more broken (see pic).

Hi Iritscen, I don't know if your resolution is low, or the difference in appearance is due to Mac \ Pc difference, but to me it looks like that there's not enough space for the description field, I suggest moving the separators between the right and left pane and moving the separators between the columns to give more space to description, or increasing the resolution .. here's how mine looks

another suggestion for Alloc if the box is moved to directly start under version number, removing the word description like this:
it may give enough space so the text isn't cut.

• Fixes #13. What do you think about Samer's idea on the description box though?

I like Samer's suggestion, that will free up a good amount of space. The word "Description" is redundant anyway since it's obviously that :-)

@Samer: I could just make the window/panel larger, yes, but that didn't change the fact that the wrapping was broken.

I have tested 2.05 and it looks good; I guess I still have to turn the long bare URLs into embedded links, but at least it's easy to find the problem mods, by scrolling down the list in the AEI.

Glad it worked out :)
about the urls on the depot, it's mostly my mods or mods I've modified the description of, so my bad (I always like to see where the link will take me before i click it :p that's why i didn't shorten them before) ... but I'll try to go back and truncate the links of as many mods as i can.

[Christian]

Well, the wrapping itself wasn't broken at all ;)
If you looked close enough it was a problem with long values for creator/types so that field determined the width of the right panel. The description box adapted to this new width and thus a part of it was invisible outside the panel (can be seen by looking at the scroll bar vanishing).

Will change the description part now.

Okay, Samer changed almost all the URLs, and I think i got the rest (also, long lines of --- or ___ had the same effect, so I killed those). No more of those nasty horizontal scrollbars left!
