Package: mutt-patched
Version: 1.6.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
after having updated mutt(-patched) today from 1.5.24-1 to 1.6.0-1,
i noticed that long mailbox names are no longer truncated, and as
consequence mailbox sizes are no longer visible for some mailboxes,
since the name takes the whole space.
I remember the default behaviour of the previous version(s) was to
truncate long mailbox names to leave space to mailbox sizes, like in
the soft-fill format. Now it's the opposite.
Particularly, i never had to use the sidebar_format option in my
.muttrc (i don't even know wheter it has been introduced now or was
already there, just to say).
At this point, i tried getting the good ol' behaviour setting the
sidebar_format option, but it doesn't seem to do what i want. You can
consider this simplified test version:
set sidebar_format = "%B%* %S"
With this format string I'd expect the rightmost part (mailbox size)
to be always visible because of the soft-fill (e.g. " 219"), and have
the mailbox name truncated at some point if it is too long, or padded
with ' ' if it is too short.
Anyway as i said, this is not working as expected, but it behaves like
the regular right-alignment was used ('%> ') since the mailbox sizes
are right-aligned, but mailbox names take the precedence when they are
too long. So:
- Is soft-fill even supported by the sidebar_format option?
- Is there an equivalent way to obtain this behaviour in the sidebar?
- Am i misunderstanding something?
In the same way, also the default value of the sidebar_format option
specified in the man page (Default: “%B%?F? [%F]?%* %?N?%N/?%4S”) is
not doing its job.
Let me know if you need additional infos.
Thank you.
