Description Kris Murphy 2010-09-10 15:27:42 UTC
When using the Fab4 to log into a WiMp account (WiMP added to My Apps but WiMP account not activated via mysqueezebox.com) the message "Your WiMP account has been successfully added" is cut off at "adde"

Steps to repro:

1. Add WiMP to My Apps (on device or via mysqueezenetwork.com)
2. Launch WiMP on device
3. Enter phone number
4. Enter pw
5. Select Log in to WiMP
The "successful" message on the next screen is cut off

Tell product marketing to plan for larger displays ;-). Doesn't it scroll? It would be even worse on Radio.

Cut-off text can't be prevented in 100% of all cases. This is a generic message, which is being used with even longer service names like "Rhapsody" too. This can't be fixed, as displays are planned to be even smaller in the future :-(.

So this message does not come from the WiMP app itself?  Should it be reclassified under a different component or product and redefined?
Comment 4 Mickey Gee 2010-09-13 13:14:09 UTC
How about changing the message from:

"Your WiMP account has been successfully added"

to

"Your WiMP account successfully added"

This still won't fit the Radio screen (and whatever comes next). There's no way we can make this look good on every screen. And we're only talking EN. Keep in mind that other languages have other lengths too. We simply have to live with some scrolling text items in some places.

Scrolling would be fine, but it's not scrolling on Fab4.  Not sure about the other devices yet.
Comment 7 Michael Herger 2010-09-13 20:14:33 UTC
Oh, right, SP only scrolls activated items. Which isn't an option on Touch. We might consider wrapping this part.
Comment 8 Kris Murphy 2010-09-15 11:37:08 UTC
I tried this on Baby and the text scrolls nicely.
