Journal name overflow #6

Open Trav1sT opened 4 years ago

Trav1sT commented 4 years ago

When a long journal name is keyed in, the journal name is overflown. It should be wrapped or at least the pane should allow horizontal scrolling so that I can at least scroll and view the full name

Team's Response

The GUI does not actually crash, you can still switch to viewing other entries using the viewj command and the product would still be usable after.

This should not be a bug that happens very much, as titles are not expected to be too long. Users can also resize the window to view the full title, provided that the length is still reasonable.

Items for the Tester to Verify

:question: Issue severity

Team chose [severity.Low] Originally [severity.Medium]

Reason for disagreement: This overflow is a severe bug that can be easily fixed. In this bug, after I run listj (which is supposed to give me a list of journal I can click and view), the list of journals on the left side to be hidden. Yes, I can still view other journals by using viewj command. However, this is a unintuitive(since there is a workaround I did not put the severity as high). I do not know how many journals and what journals I have. So I have to viewj <some random valid number of an entry with short title> and then find out what the last entry is after the list is final showing?

Also, if I just click on this item(the one with long title) on the journal list. I am unable to see other details at all such as date time and contacts. So I have to run viewj to view it. Then, I encounter a second problem; I can't click on other items because the list is hidden and changing tab does not help. So I have to run a viewj <some random number of an entry with short title> to see the list again (finally).

It is not tat uncommon especially during testing I have a very limited screen space(to view UG, DG, run the application, view testing rubrics). So I reduce the size of the app. So it takes just a dozen words to overflow.
