Hello,


InputDeviceSetup has a hardcodec lenght of 400. This causes issues with some translations (eg the Greek one), letters are not shown even though there is enouph space.

Changing length to 600 solves the above issue.

Hello,

On PluginList we are also limiting the plugin description (without apparent reason) although there is space.

I guess this is not a problem in the with of the box. When a box has certain width and you start at xpos = 120 in the box, there is only width-xpos space left in the box. So if you xpos=120 and you use width-40 to draw text you basically write outside the box.

 

The the greek (and probably other languages) width issue may be in the font renderer...

But same happens with default skin PLi-HD and English (almost 42 chars dispayed).

So does that mean that English font renderer suffers from the same issue?

Hm, in the download list it shows that all width is used.
So maybe something else is wrong.

In the code the default width is 440 pixels, but in the skin 630 pixels are reserved. I expect the 630 is passed to the widget, but maybe it does not.

I add the following to PluginList class.

        print "PluginEntryComponent width:" + str(width)

And this is what i get when i am opening the list:

PluginEntryComponent width:440
...
PluginEntryComponent width:440
PluginEntryComponent width:440

So probably we are not passing 630, but the default 440 used.

yes already found the problem. Just commited the fix.

Other list may suffer from the same problem, who knows...

I can find PluginEntryComponent only in PluginBrowser and we are calling it without width argument.

$ find -type f -name "*.py" | xargs fgrep PluginEntryComponent
./lib/python/Components/PluginList.py:def PluginEntryComponent(plugin, width=440):
./lib/python/Screens/PluginBrowser.py:          self.list = [PluginEntryComponent(plugin) for plugin in self.pluginlist]

So what you suggest to do? Change PluginBrowser or Change PluginEntryComponent?

Edit1. Just show your post. Thanks!
