Ellipsis (...) in notification

[1999lucnguyen]

Hello,

At times, when a notification pops up, the message will be truncated and an ellipsis will be added to the message even if the message should be able to fit in the notification box:

I've tried setting ellipsize to none for the message widget but this is what happens:

I've also tried changing the theme's notification_max_height, but it doesn't seem to be helping (probably because the widget thinks it has the correct size when it does not).

Is there a fix for this or is the problem from awesomewm?

Thank you so much!
Luc

(I am using the "amarena" notification theme.)

Hi there,

I also have the same issue. Not sure if it is an AwesomeWM bug. It could be that I need to write the template differently.

My workaround is to set the wrap property for the notification message like so:

  {
      align = "center",
+     wrap = "char",
      widget = naughty.widget.message,
  },

But please keep this issue open until I investigate or re-write the notification template so it works properly with or without word wrapping.

Thanks! I'll let you know if I figure something out as well.
