Short description of error
The
bl_labelof panels is limited to 63-bytes strings. In English, that is 63 characters, which is plenty enough. In some scripts such as Georgian, each character takes up 3 bytes in UTF-8. This effectively reduces the number of characters to 21, not always quite enough.It should in my opinion be at least doubled to allow localization to non-latin scripts.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Originally reported by @Tamuna in #43295.
@ChengduLittleA Thanks. I’m not sure it’s only related to the user interface, it may involve the core module as well since the length of some properties is affected?
@pioverfour also not necessarily. Developers will take a look at this.
The
ácharacter probably means the string is cut short in the middle of the character. Likely cause:char panelname[64];instruct Panel,UI_MAX_NAME_STR==128, seeui_def_but).It looks like setting
char drawname[64];to e. g.128fixes the issue, but I don’t know what the consequences are.I'm honestly not sure,
drawnameseems to be runtime-only, shouldn't really cause a big problem, howeverUI_MAX_NAME_STRis 128 and from the look of it I can't tell whether it applies to the two string lengths combined. Need a UI dev to tell whether this is acceptable.Maybe @JulianEisel can shed some light here.
Any downsides you can think of if the length of the panels name (
char drawname[64]instruct Panel) was increased, say to128?Increasing the buffer size would be fine, but this can just use a dynamic size.
Created a pull request and triggered test-builds. Once done they are available here. Could you let me know if this works as expected?
I can’t read Georgian but it looks like it’s working!
