InfoWindow Owner clipped in layout

[Karvjorm]

As shown in the enclosed picture, "Owner" is clipped when it is shown with a localized text that is a bit longer than orginal in InfoWindow.

I tried to write a patch to resolve this problem, but because my development environment is broken (can't svn update the whole svn tree [due to a VMware virtual machine environment and a USB stick disk for it, I suppose]), I was not able to test it.

I enclosing here also a typo patch and another missing localization patch.

Sorry, I mixed the comments of the two first comments.

(In #7295) You're right. Closing as duplicate.

The localization in InfoWindow.patch includes spaces, which can trip up translations at HTA.
FilePermissionView.patch doesn't solve the issue. I applied it locally, but the labels are still truncated, the column labels are now just as wide as a checkbox. This is hrev40612.

I think the best way would be the usage of the layout api, as was in the find window. And also the capacity string is looks like wrong. (Using 45710 nightly.)

Increasing the width of the columns will not look very nice for languages where the strings are quite long. I would suggest using 45° rotated text for the column headers instead?

Fixed in hrev51189.

"Execution" is still cut off in Russian locale. As well as the first latter of rotated "Others" label.

I'm not too fond of the rotated text; I'd rather see wider columns.

Other options:

• U G O as headers, with a legend (user, group, others).
• 1. 2. 3. as headers, with a legend.
• icons as headers, with a legend.
• Put header in two rows (alternating).

BTW, Alt+p (to expand permission view) doesn't seem to work anymore.

Hi

I "vote" for icons.

Like that idea best. Instead of a legend, how about tool tips for the icons?
I'd suggest the "x-person" filetype icon for "owner" and the "People" icon for "group". What to use for the "other" though?

Works here in hrev51192 (gcc2h), fwiw.

Right, I was using it was an issue with VMware Fusion keyboard mapping. Works now! :)

Here's the above and a new ???-icon for the "other". These are 24px, don't look that nice in 16px...

3 icons

'Put header in two rows (alternating)' seems like the second best solution to me (after the rotated text).

[pulkomandy]

Window has been rewritten to use layout kit. I think it solves this. Still using rotated text, however.
