Closed Buffer list fast scoller abruptly cuts off long network names

  • Buffer list fast scoller abruptly cuts off long network names

  • Closed Issue created by Shane Synan

    Steps

    1. Rename a network to have a longer name, e.g. appending this is a very long network name
    2. Scroll the buffer list with the fast scroller to this network
    3. Observe the display of names

    Outcome

    The fast scroller abruptly cuts off the beginning, extending beyond the screen, resulting in seeing only the last letters of the network.

    Example screenshot of fast scroller on a long network name, Old - Ubuntu IRC Screenshot of the buffer list open, fast scroller held down, scrolling to a network named "Old - Ubuntu IRC".  The fast scroller popup UI only shows "d - Ubuntu IRC" with the beginning cut off by the left edge of the screen.

    Suggestions

    I'm not sure what would be the best option, but a few ideas come to mind:

    • Prioritize the start of a network name
      • List is sorted by first letter, not last
    • Fade out/ellipsis the cut-off text
