Description Wallace Lai 2007-11-26 16:12:41 UTC

System Info:  Gateway, P4, 1.97 GHz, 1.25 GB of RAM, XP SP2 ENU
SqueezeCenter:  Ray build, 2007-11-19

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Connect many Rays, say 10, to a PC with SqueezeCenter(Ray build).
2.  Sync them all together.
3.  On top of the PlayList frame, there is a drop down list of all players.
4.  Notice the users cannot find the names of any player because the names are no very long, and only the tails are showing.
5.  It is very hard to select a specific player to unsync.

Suggestion for Enhancement:
A tooltip showing the name of the player would really help.
Or show the heads of the names instead of the tail ends of them on the drop down list.

Could you please provide me with a screenshot of this issue?

Comment 2 Michael Herger 2008-06-05 08:49:09 UTC

This is a "legacy" skin only issue. Probably dupe of bug 4083

Comment 3 Wallace Lai 2008-06-05 09:02:20 UTC

Did better than that.  The problem was reproduced then shown to Michael in person.  It is on the classic skin.
By the way, this is on a 2K machine, so the screenshot would be in bitmap.  There had been some complaints in the past that it took forever to download the bitmap attachment even after it was cropped and colors reduced to mono.

change 20538 - truncate player name/list of synced players in player list if it's longer than 50 characters

Comment 5 Michael Herger 2008-06-10 06:50:13 UTC

Oops, that was change 20598

Comment 6 Chris Owens 2008-07-30 15:30:12 UTC
