SUMMARY
The word Playlist is cropped in Czech language, it says "Seznam sklad..." and it should say "Seznam skladeb"

Also the Library only shows three columns when the system panel is on the side on a 1366*768 screen

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. switch to Czech
2. use screen resolution 1366*768
3. move system panel to the side as shown in the attachment

OBSERVED RESULT
"Seznam skladeb" is cropped and the library only shows three columns

EXPECTED RESULT
"Seznam skladeb" is shown in full and the library shows 4 columns, even with the system panel on the side

Comment 2 Albert Astals Cid 2020-07-23 20:45:49 UTC
I disagree with this being a i18n bug.

Software needs to be made to accommodate translations, not the other way around.

If the software for some reason can not have dynamic sizes (something we've been doing for decades), typical solutions for that are elliding + tooltip or elliding + text scrolling on hover, etc.

Fair enough.
