Open | None | T318199 WebInstaller: User experience and design issues | |||
Open | BUG REPORT | None | T30304 Text overflow outside of box at right of installer screens for long string without linebreaks |
If we want to avoid crossing the border, we need to have css word-wrap: break-word;
But it may not be desirable for many languages to break the word at arbitrary position.
German translation for "Datenbankeinstellungen" is now (1.22 from git master) "Einstellungen zur Datenbank" but the issue can still happen when I change it to a long string without linebreaks locally.
Not sure if something useful could be done here. Allowing text overflow still seems to be better than just cutting it off.
Above tackled preliminary (without hyphens) in T318205: WebInstaller: Increase `#mw-panel` width slightly.
For a big number of lines per paragraphs, hyphens might not be the first choice, here I think it would make it look much more professional for German users.
But I've been in a number of discussions and friendly acceptance towards hyphens is not the norm.
Will provide a patch in a few days and see where it lands.
