Overflowing width in the multiselelct combo box with long file names #328

Closed sebastian-nehrdich closed 3 years ago

sebastian-nehrdich commented 3 years ago

In order to make filtering easier, we are now displaying the full file name in the filter multiselect combo boxes. However, this leads to a problem with long filenames, they cause the combo box to overflow when they are selected and it becomes very difficult to handle the menu. To reproduce, just select a Sanskrit text and filter for a file with a longer filename. The behaviour of the multiselect combo box will likely break.

We have a soso-working solution at the moment by removing the filename from the label field of the combo box, but it is not ideal since the filter-by-type functionality now does not scan the displayName but only the filename.
