P: Truncated fields and font glitches in Metadata panel

You can use Jeffrey Friedl's Metadata Preset Builder plugin to build your own custom metadata panel preset.  This will allow you to choose exactly which fields are displayed, and also permits you to choose how many lines of a given field are displayed. Also, you can choose to have the title of the field above the field, which increases the number of characters that will display. Here is a screenshot of one of the custom presets I built:

BUT, this plugin will NOT fix the bug referred to in this thread (the last line of metadata is cut off and doesn't display unless one clicks in the field).

@Rikk Flohr: Photography, this bug is marked Investigating -- is there a bug number assigned to it? It still exists on Mac and continues to annoy those of us who rely on accurate metadata:

Lightroom Classic: version 12.1
OS: macOS: 11.7.2

Issue: Provide good steps to reproduce the behavior:
Step 1 to reproduce the issue: mehrzeiligen Text eingeben unter "Metadaten" > "Bildunterschrift"
Step 2 to reproduce the issue: Eingabefeld verlassen
Step 3 to reproduce the issue: evtl. ein anderes Bild auswählen und wieder zum Bild zurück, wo man die Eingabe gemacht hat

Expected result: unter "Metadaten" > "Bildunterschrift" sieht man den eingegebenen mehrzeiligen Text
Actual result: die letzte Zeile des eingegeben Textes ist nicht sichtbar - Text wird nur vollständig angezeigt, wenn man wieder in das Feld zur Eingabe klickt

Did you click Upvote in the upper-right corner?  I'm afraid without many more votes, Adobe is just going to ignore this.

It's been more than 2 years since this issue was reported here. I'm still suffering from this bug...

This bug has been well reported, and has been acknowledged by Adobe.  It used to affect both the Window and Mac versions of LrC, but was fixed in the Windows version with version 11 (IIRC).  It is still outstanding after several years on the Mac side.  It doesn't seem to be a high priority with Adobe to address it.  Perhaps one factor explaining this is that only 11 people have upvoted the post, suggesting that it isn't bothering too many people (but there may be many people it DOES bother who haven't found the post here...)

I'd like to reiterate, and emphasize, that the bug is not just the file name/path fields, but most fields, and it is not only the last line that gets hidden, but sometimes also the last word on the visible line, which I have already reported in an earlier post in this thread, see my post from Feb 01, 2022 . 

I'll repeat the screenshot here, as some of you seem to have missed that, and it behaves exactly the same in LRC 11.5:

The lower screenshot shows the content of the field when I click in the field.

It clearly demonstrates that, unless I actually click in that field, the last word "kvardröjande" of the first line will be invisible (despite it fits there), just as the second line is completely invisible!

In another field (User Comment), I have a long text, which can not be revealed in any other way than clicking in the field! It can not be revealed by making the field super-wide by holding the Option key and drag it wider than half the screen! Actually, with a super-wide panel covering more than half the screen, the entirety of the second line of that particular field simply disappears! 

You can't realistically browse photos if the right-hand panel occupies half the screen! And in some cases it will not even help!

Issue: Full/Complete Filename won't display in Metadata Panel in Lightroom Classic
Lightroom Classic Version Number: 11.5 [ 202208080927-8a575c91 ]
OS Version Number: Mac OS 12 Version: 12.5.0 [21G72]

Steps to reproduce:

No steps required. See in Grid view of Library, Metadata Panel, Default view (not in edit mode)

Notes:  

A) I have tried all other views (those other than default) of the Metadata Panel, and the Minimal view will display a few additional characters of the filename, but still refuses to wrap and display the remaining characters. 

B) In some cases, a complete filename will appear in the Grid cell in Library mode, but in many cases, it won't, so we rely on the Metadata Panel to display a complete filename without manual intervention of every photo to see the data.

C) Customizing the Metadata Panel view can result in fewer filenames shown in their entirety because as one adds more fields to display, the filename field display capacity reduces by a few characters. However, reducing it to only the Filename field does not provide the ability to see complete filenames. 

Expected result: Show a complete filename in the Filename field of the Metadata Panel of Library, Grid view. If not here, where?

Actual result: Incomplete filename, and in particular, the characters won't wrap to another line (if occupying 1 line, doesn't wrap to line 2; if occupying lines 1 and 2, won't wrap to line 3). If I click on the File Name field, I can see the complete filename, but that's a major hassle to be forced to click on the File Name field of every photo, and to accept the risk of making inadvertent changes to a filename when it's clicked upon. The customized view displayed below did not change the outcome of the number of characters displayed in the File Name field. I checked via experimenting.

Workaround in the meantime:  By customizing and displaying the Absolute Path, I can see the last few remaining characters of filenames, and those are important to differentiating images in my filenaming scheme.
