Created attachment 883589 [details] screenshot of offending tag marker Description of problem: In the list-of-commits pane gitk displays only "tag..." for the tag marker. This is a regression from previous version and makes the marker much less useful. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gitk.noarch 0:1.9.0-1.fc20 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run gitk on a tree having tags 2. 3. Actual results: "tag..." Expected results: "kernel-2.6.32-453.el6" Additional info: 1.8.4.2-1.fc20 operates as expected.
the newer versions of gitk seems to have weird word-wrapping settings. The upstream commit that introduces this "enhancement" states: gitk: Tag display improvements When a commit has many tags, the tag icons in the graph display can easily become so wide as to push the commit message off the right-hand edge of the graph display pane. This changes the display so that if there are more than 3 tags or they would take up more than a quarter of the width of the pane, we instead display a single tag icon with a legend inside it like "4 tags...". If the user clicks on the tag icon, gitk then displays all the tags in the diff display pane. What's even better is that this is hardcoded and cannot be changed from ~/.gitk. If you do want the old behaviour, my only advice is to hack at gitk (not a binary, just a tcl script). In particular, you need to change the lines: set maxtags 3 set maxtagpct 25 Thanks for the report.
