As designed Attachment name that is too long

The attachment's name is too long and therefore is hidden. Shouldn't it brake into different lines if the filename is too long to display?

That is as designed - it has white-space: no-wrap in the class to prevent wrapping.

Why there isn't ellipsis when text is too long?
Cut string in the middle doesn't look good.

It's a bug because there is no indication that text is overflowing.
To fix:

.attachment .attachmentInfo .filename a
{
  display: inline-block;
  max-width: 100%;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

@Brogan can you please move this thread again to Open Bugs, so Mike can look at it again with my solution provided? Thanks.

 

[Paul B]

I didn't move it to resolved bugs originally, @Mike did.

So it stays here?

Yes but he did alert Mike so he'll see it eventually.

I guess no hope for this. It creates big problem in responsive design, since it's impossible to hover over the file name to get it correctly.

If you would like to see the functionality modified, please make a suggestion thread.

Suggestion forum is based on likes. If it doesn't have crazy UI or other very complicated "ideas", posts don't get (usually) likes there,. Thus, I don't really have motivation doing it (not to mention that most people would agree the not showing the full name of the file is wrong/bug/whatever).
I'll fix it locally on my system, we've just hoped it will be fixed for everybody as well.

This should be fixed. Looks weird like an error.

You mean on mobiles? It was never possible.

This appears to be fixed, at least on xenforo.com

I know, and this is why it was a "problem".

Hidden is good way to keep a controllable layout.
