Log in to WiMP screen text cut off on Fab4
Last modified: 2010-09-15 11:37:08 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?
How about changing the message from: "Your WiMP account has been successfully added" to "Your WiMP account successfully added"
> How about changing the message from: > "Your WiMP account has been successfully added" > "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.
Oh, right, SP only scrolls activated items. Which isn't an option on Touch. We might consider wrapping this part.
I tried this on Baby and the text scrolls nicely.
