** Summary changed: - [browser] Setting labels ellipsized on phone screen in portrait orientation + Checkbox labels ellipsized on phone screen in portrait orientation
** Description changed: - As shown on the attached screenshot, the rows #2 and #3 of the settings screen have a text that doesn't fit on the screen. - The only way to see what these options mean is to switch the phone to landscape orientation. + Browser's Settings screen shows an example of a checkbox where its label + does not fit in the available screen width, so it is ellipsized. + <https://launchpadlibrarian.net/206607288/half-fixed.png> The only way + to see what the option means is to switch the phone to landscape. - A different UI component should be used for these two options, one that - allows the user to see the full text of what he's enabling or disabling. + Even if an app developer avoids this, in portrait mode, on the smallest + shipping phone, for every string in their app, in English, they are + quite likely not to check their app in every shipping language. And the + app may not provide a landscape mode at all. So ellipsizing the label is + not an ideal solution. + + <https://goo.gl/qc5GV7>: "A checkbox or switch should almost always have + a label, which can be tapped just like the checkbox or switch itself. If + there is not enough room to display the label on one line, by default it + should wrap to multiple lines. It should not be cropped or ellipsized + unless the app developer specifically requests this, typically for text + that they do not control the length of (such as a Wi-Fi network name, + filename, or bookmark title)." ** Tags removed: settings ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Status: Triaged => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1442851 Title: Checkbox labels ellipsized on phone screen in portrait orientation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1442851/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
