Description Szczepan Hołyszewski 2023-04-24 10:56:03 UTC

SUMMARY

Due to longer button labels in Polish localization, the UI in the first tab of the settings pane to the right of the screenshot area has larger content-determined minimum size than the settings pane can accomodate, and the settings pane fails to resize to fit contents, resulting in clipped UI.

I failed to figure out how to make a screenshot of Spectacle itself, so no screenshot.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch spectacle

OBSERVED RESULT

The UI in the first tab of the settings pane is clipped; the settings pane does grow in width to fit content.

EXPECTED RESULT

The UI in the first tab of the settings pane shouldn't be clipped; the settings pane should grow in width to fit content.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Couldn't figure out how to make a screenshot of the spectacle window itself, so no screenshot.

By "settings pane", do you mean the sidebar on the right with the checkboxes for things like whether or not to include the mouse pointer? A picture would help us find the part of the UI that needs to be fixed.

Yes, that's what I mean. Please instruct me how to obtain a screenshot of the Spectacle window itself.

Comment 4 Szczepan Hołyszewski 2023-04-24 11:54:22 UTC

More specifically, the first tab of the sidebar has two sections (labels backtranslated, may differ from original):

"Make a new screenshots"
"Screenshot settings"

The first section contains a number of command buttons, and it's those buttons that are clipped on the right.

The second section appears OK, and the checkboxes' labels are wrapped to the sidebar's width.

Open Konsole, enter `spectacle --new-instance` or `spectacle -i` (same thing, just shorter), then use the new instance of spectacle to take a screenshot of the other spectacle.

That really long string could hopefully be reduced *somehow* though.

This appears to be fixed in the upcoming KF6-based version of Spectacle; `LANG=pl_PL spectacle` now works fine for me.
