[BUG]Truncation of "File" in the Add Files form

Post by coulonnus »

Once I have put multiple files into File#1:, File#2:... before I click Submit! I can't see the last characters of my files, e.g. if I add c:\thing\stuff\chunk_violin_1.pdf and c:\thing\stuff\chunk_violin_2 I can see only c:\thing\stuff\chunk_violin once I have added both files and I can't check I've submitted the right files.

Could the server please show the last characters of the files submitted? The directory names do not bring useful information and the truncation could be from the left side.

The bug shows up with Firefox, IE and Netscape.

Try pressing the down arrow key (when the file field is selected)

When I click the file I want to check, of course the browser window pops up and I can see the whole file name at its bottom. Is it what you mean by "selecting the file field"?

It would be nice to see the 5 or 6 file names together, with their rightmost characters, without having to select them one by one. Doen't the html language offer "right justification" or a similar term?

Speaking of the "Add Files" form (I haven't used it in a while) -- are the text boxes still ridiculously small?

about 25 characters. (depends if there are more m-characters than i-characters)
