Description
Describe the bug
Due to localisation and other reasons, various texts require more space than anticipated, causing clipping and other problems.
Let's collect these problems in this issue.
-
MuseScore 3.6 migration dialog with Dutch (Nederlands) localisation ("MuseScore 3.…") and apparently others too: #20279
-
#15411
-
#15395
-
#15572
-
#15537
-
Cloud upload success dialog in German: https://musescore.org/en/node/342293 (fixed in #16302 for 4.0.2)
-
Workspace dialog in Czech (fixed in #16302 for 4.0.2)
-
Barline inspector in Dutch (fixed in #16302 for 4.0.2)
-
The playback toolbar when the piece has more than 100 bars
-
Preferences > "Reset Preferences" with German localisation
(General problem: we must never give a text button a fixed width; if we want the default width of the button to be bigger, we can use themarginsorminWidthproperties. But never setwidthdirectly.)
Note:
Please add any other text clipping problems that you find as comments to this issue!
