[Bug 1442851] Re: Checkbox labels ellipsized on phone screen in portrait orientation

 

This bug was fixed in the package webbrowser-app -
0.23+15.10.20150522.1-0ubuntu1

---------------
webbrowser-app (0.23+15.10.20150522.1-0ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium

  [ Arthur Mello ]
  * Implement private browsing mode per design specification. (LP:
    #1351179, #1457925, #1457958)

  [ CI Train Bot ]
  * New rebuild forced.
  * Resync trunk.

  [ Olivier Tilloy ]
  * Add Qwant to the default list of search engines. added:
    src/app/webbrowser/searchengines/qwant.xml
  * Add missing import statement. (LP: #1457060)
  * Delay hiding the tab contents to give it an opportunity to grab an
    up-to-date capture. Improve the tab switching animation to not
    flicker and jump around that much. (LP: #1452998)
  * Ensure the search engine delegates do not overlap with the settings
    header. (LP: #1455399)
  * Fix a flaky autopilot test. On a mobile device with network access,
    the URL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux) might be rewritten to
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux, thus making the test racy
    depending on when the check on the webview’s URL is performed. (LP:
    #1456885)
  * Make use of the WebContext.maxCacheSizeHint property, introduced in
    Oxide 1.6. This bumps the dependency of qtdeclarative5-ubuntu-web-
    plugin on liboxideqt-qmlplugin to 1.6. (LP: #1277659)
  * Remove a number of useless calls to QTest::qWait() in unit tests,
    thus making them significantly faster to run.
  * When opening a new blank tab, always clear the address bar. (LP:
    #1456199)

  [ CI Train Bot ]
  * Resync trunk.

  [ Olivier Tilloy ]
  * Change the homepage in tests so that the domain name doesn’t contain
    a dot, to work around https://launchpad.net/bugs/1108742. (LP:
    #1108742)
  * Delay showing the fullscreen hint to prevent it from jumping up
    while the webview is being resized. (LP: #1454097)
  * Look for custom search engines description files in several
    locations. This adds a build dependency on qml-module-qt-labs-
    folderlistmodel, to run unit tests at package construction time.
    (LP: #1455207)
  * Use checkboxes instead of switches for verb phrases, per design
    guidance. (LP: #1442851)

  Checkbox labels ellipsized on phone screen in portrait orientation

Bug description:
  Browser's Settings screen shows an example of a checkbox where its
  label does not fit in the available screen width, so it is ellipsized.
  <https://launchpadlibrarian.net/206607288/half-fixed.png> The only way
  to see what the option means is to switch the phone to landscape.

  Even if an app developer avoids this, in portrait mode, on the
  smallest shipping phone, for every string in their app, in English,
  they are quite likely not to check their app in every shipping
  language. And the app may not provide a landscape mode at all. So
  ellipsizing the label is not an ideal solution.

  <https://goo.gl/qc5GV7>: "A checkbox or switch should almost always
  have a label, which can be tapped just like the checkbox or switch
  itself. If there is not enough room to display the label on one line,
  by default it should wrap to multiple lines. It should not be cropped
  or ellipsized unless the app developer specifically requests this,
  typically for text that they do not control the length of (such as a
  Wi-Fi network name, filename, or bookmark title)."
