How Reproducible:

Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-13 23:23:43 UTC
Not specific to Japanese, and happens in nautilus 2.0.3 still. Nautilus source
code looks like it should handle this. May be related to "nautilus icons come up
in a big pile" bug. Should check whether it happens with a nautilus using core X
fonts.

Comment 3 Paul Gampe 2002-08-14 01:11:47 UTC
Startup screen in ja_JP locale also has the message text positioned below the 
half-way line.

Comment 4 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-14 01:21:39 UTC
Splash screen problem is also not CJK-specific, happens in all locales.

Comment 5 Alexander Larsson 2002-08-20 11:40:40 UTC
It looks like nautilus just looks at max-width when considering icon text width.

I think this is due to the change in wrapping. Nautilus used to wordwrap, but if
that wasn't possible, use character wrapping to never extend past min_width. I'm
not sure how to get this behaviour back with pango.


Comment 6 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-20 14:56:04 UTC
As a hack maybe we could just crank up the max width for now?

Comment 7 Owen Taylor 2002-08-20 16:27:12 UTC
See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=81906 for a request
for the relevant Pango enhancement (definitely not going to happen
for Milan or pango-1.2 though.)


Comment 8 Havoc Pennington 2002-08-23 19:44:21 UTC
In nautilus 2.0.5-2 I'm putting in a lame hack to just pad the left margin 
and make this happen less often. We can increase the margin a bit if desired.

Comment 9 Jens Petersen 2002-08-28 10:54:38 UTC
Looks much better now, thanks. (The end of "home" in Japanese is getting split
across a line now, so if the default wide could be increased a bit more it
would be even nicer, though not such a big deal.)
