[FIXED] The vertical bar sign cuts off data in Name of a Favorite Toolbar icon

#1 Post by Forez » 15.01.2020, 16:50

Under the

Customize favorite toolbars > Define favorite toolbars > Name

users can choose a Name for any icon / shortcut that is placed on some Favorite Toolbar defined by the user. Unfortunately when in such Name there is the sign

Code: Select all

|
then everything that is written after that vertical bar sign will not be displayed when the mouse pointer will later on hover over that particular icon


For example: I can put in the Name

Code: Select all

Movies | Videos | Clips
but I will only get to see

Code: Select all

Movies
after closing of the Define favorite toolbars window. And when I go back to

Customize favorite toolbars > Define favorite toolbars > Name

I can see that it still has

Code: Select all

Movies | Videos | Clips
written in it


To put it simply: the >>|<< sign is treated as some sort of a code separator. And as this may be necessary in some other fields / features of FreeCommander, in that particular field of Name is just user unfriendly

[The workaround in this particular example would be simply to use probably any other sign than >>|<<, but that is not what I am after]


I am using Build 770 32-bit public on Windows 10 Enterprise x64 18362.356

In version 880 32-bit Installed and 887 / 894 64-bit Donor Portable this is still happening. And I also tried using

Code: Select all

||
i.e. 2 such signs hoping to see 1


Is this an ordinary bug? Or is the

Code: Select all

|
sign used as some kind of separator / break line indicator? And if this second answer is true- could it be changed to something like maybe a tipple occurrence of it, i.e.

Code: Select all

|||
so that users could utilize this sign in a Name?

The problem is reproducible.
After detailed investigation, I could see that it is intentional Delphi behavior.
I was able to find a solution to still display the hint completely - changed for the next release.
