SOLVED: pango updte breaks File Managers ability to shorten file names

spsf64 · 2017-10-28 18:32:27

pango1.40.13 update breaks File Managers ability to shorten file names
If you have file with a VERY long name, with this update, thunar cannot shorten the name in icon view.
It will increase the icon spacing to accommodate the file name in a single line...
Downgrading the package to 1.40.12 fixes the problem.
Is this a thunar problem or it is related to pango?
TIA

Edit: change the subjetc from "thunar" to "File Managers" because other users reported same issue

Try to reproduce the issue with some other file manager that depends on pango. If you are unable to reproduce it, then perhaps it's a compatibility issue between thunar and the latest pango.

Thanks for the quick reply, just tested with nemo/cinnamon, same issue...
Probably a problem with pango?
Anyone else can confirm this, so we can file a bug report?

x33a · 2017-10-28 19:34:27

Can confirm with Nemo.

Same with Nautilus

I can reproduce the issue with thunar, but nautilus works as it should...

EDIT. I suppose it's worth mentioning I'm on wayland, where nautilus runs natively, while thunar is run via Xwayland. I can't test nautilus on X at this second, but it seems that native wayland gtk3 applications wouldn't have this issue.

I wrote a bug on this already, but I just noticed that this does not only happen in Thunar.
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/56147

I updated my system via "sudo pacman -Syu", rebooted, then installed discord and libc++ via AUR. When I opened Thunar, I saw the icons are not filling out columns and rows for most folders, only for Home. Thunar didn't display files in a single column like this before the update, this is when you view files as icons. This also happens in Nautilus and Nemo. I believe the long filenames are creating this issue. Again, this didn't happen before the update.

Edit: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1745681
Just downgraded to pango-1.40.12-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz and it fixed my issue.

I can confirm the bug with spacefm as well (gtk3).

Also, please change your pictures to thumbnails or links, since they are too large to be allowed by the code of conduct.

Confirmed the bug:

Ugh...how do you thumbnail?

circleface · 2017-10-29 02:14:26

The forum itself does not support thumbnailing, so the only way I know to do it is to edit the image first. But links are just as useful, so I usually just do that.

Merging with existing thread.

Milos_Rootsman · 2017-10-29 08:18:45

Can confirm for PcManFm.

Serioga · 2017-10-29 15:07:55

Same here. Thunar and PCManFM.

Yes, we have established it affects all of them. Stop empty posting: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … mpty_posts

I have noticed the same behavior with Thunar, and I'm also noticing also weird affects on lightdm-gtk-greeter
Can someone confirm this behavior?

Fixed in pango 1.40.13-2.

Hacksaurus_Babu · 2017-10-31 01:03:35

I believe that this thread can be fclosed now, the new pango release seems to completely fix this bug. It also seems that the lightdm problem was not caused by pango, but by a separate update that needs to be addressed in another thread.
