Summary0005797: Minor request: Config option to not break menu item text across lines
Description

Currently in the menu bars, entries that include spaces break across lines. It would be nice if there was a config option to substitute a non-breaking space for each space within menu entries. In my opinion, the UI looks cleaner when menu choices aren't broken up.

TagsNo tags attached.

Sorry, I meant "Config option to not break menu item text across lines"

I meant to refer to the menu bars that list the projects, where project names contain spaces.

It's funny that 0006248 was fixed but this issue was ignored. At any rate, menu options breaking across lines should be configurable.

Sorry; don't mean to ignore the issue. There are just about 10 times as many issues being filed as we have time and energy to respond to, so unfortunately many get forgotten. What do I have to do to see one of these project menus in Mantis? I'm not as familiar with it yet as the other developers...

The project menu is the list of links across the top, starting with "All Projects", followed by all the projects you have configured. This issue also applies to the app menu, which includes "Main", "My View", "View Issues", etc.

Originally, I wanted a config option to be able to prevent the menu options from breaking across lines due to intervening spaces in the entries. Further, I have project names that contain spaces in them.

Now, with 0006248, the central change I wanted (menu options no longer breaking between lines) was implemented, but it was done without a config option. That is, if somebody wants it to work the old way, where menu options are broken across lines, they have no way to do that unless they change the code back.

Note: I don't think this is a major issue. If there are other issues more pressing, I won't weep if this is made a lower priority.

I think adding a configuration option for the older behaviour is not needed, since that was a broken one...

And actually, no complaints/bug reports were made after the change, so I am going to close this issue

Thanks for your help
