Size display for field

Hello,

I have an improvement to propose on form renderer on the size display. 
When we display a list that contains many information, column position 
in the screen depends on the text size include on the table. If a create 
a screen with the goal to display on 1024*760 resolution, is possible 
that the table exceeds the screen limit. I create a little example of 
this problem : http://librenberry.librenberry.net/ColumnSize.png.

Proposal is to add an attribute that specify the size to display (number 
character to display). When the table is display if the attribute is 
define, the renderer create a fixed size for the column and all text 
exceeds are truncated. A hint box is displayed when user mouse pass over 
the text.

Actually the improvement add an attribute on display field type but I 
think is not enough. I can continue the improvement to update this 
concept on all field to add the attribute on field element. I thinks 
it's possible to add an other attribute default-width-size on form 
definition.

Have you any idea on the proposal?

Re: Bug list was Size display for field

Posted by BJ Freeman <bj...@free-man.net>.
I saw about 85 bugs that are still open.
have not had time to review each one.
I did do some linking of multiple issues that seem the same ball park.

Hi Nicolas,

This sounds like good ideas to me. As suggested by BJ you could use the existing OFBIZ-2021 to submit a patch.
In a more general way, I just wonder if we should not begin to concentrate on bugs solving for a new release to come in spring. 
But I guess it's premature to speak about that before OFBiz symposium end.

Thanks

Jacques
