P: Truncated fields and font glitches in Metadata panel

[johnrellis]

The Metadata panel has some glitches in LR 10 / Mac OS 10.15.5 with the new fonts:

p2-048c092d-5508-423a-a937-cb8f1fe09e49-1040844803.png

And some fields don't display their last line (off by one error?):

To reproduce this, try changing the width of the panel.

About the fonts in LR 10, the Lightroom Queen wrote: "[T]he font has been updated throughout the app, to use Adobe’s newly standards. While many formatting issues have already been identified and fixed, you might still find a few odd gremlins or spacing issues."

Here's another example, with a custom metadata tagset:

Here's the definition of that tagset:

return {title = "Any Vision",id = 'anyvision',items = {
     {"com.johnrellis.anyvision.labels", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.landmarks", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.locations", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.map"},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.logos", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.faces", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.text", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.safeSearch", height_in_lines = -1},"com.johnrellis.anyvision.dominantColor","com.adobe.separator",{"com.adobe.caption", height_in_lines = -1},"com.adobe.GPS"}}

When originally posted, I was not able to reproduce. Once the thread had multiple posters a bug was written.

@Rikk Just to be clear, you tried it and couldn't reproduce it? If so, that's strange, since a number of us have it happen 100% of the time...I wonder what makes the difference...

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

@Rikk 

Like @John_R_Ellis and @M_Ushioda, updating to 10.2 did not fix the issue with truncated Titles and Captions.

For me this bug is easily reproducible and fails 100% of the time.  But, to see the issue, it is necessary to enter a long Title or Caption, and then go to another image and come back again.  The field expands while one is typing, and stays expanded after hitting Return, as long as one stays on the same image.  As soon as one selects another image and then comes back to the original one, the fields are truncated.

Catalina 10.15.7, LR 10.2

@Rikk I updated it to 10.2 but unfortunately, this update did not fix the issue at all. If you need screenshots or anything, let me know. I'm on Catalina 10.15.7.

[serendigity]

@robert_somrak   Yes I am using a Mac Catalina OS. Latest Lightroom Classic.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

John Ellis (see above) has documented the same issue in Windows.

[serendigity]

Odd, as I do not experience problems with the Description field and I often have very long descriptions.  

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

@steve_swayne The description field also behaves the same - it truncated the last line. So most of the fields truncate the last line, if not all.

As a palliative to the display bug (which is present on both Mac and Windows, though in different circumstances), you can make the left and right columns arbitrarily wide by holding down Opt while dragging the vertical column divider.  (On Windows, you need to make a small edit to TranslatedStrings.txt to enable this.)

[serendigity]

Yes it is only a display problem, the data is saved with the file and the file names can be made long, just it is hard to see what you have typed in.

[Bob Somrak]

I can confirm this issue on Mac.  It was also confirmed by Jim Wilde with more details on this post

Yes W10 😉 generally the length of a filed is linked with the Database and not the OS. Can it be only a display problem. If you type more than 30 and export it. Do you see the full tittle in the exifs of the image

[serendigity]

Maybe I should have said I am using the version for Apple Macintosh.   Are you using Microsoft Windows version?

[ouiouiphoto]

For tittle I don't see the limitation you are talking about. Tittle is Titre in french 😉

@Rikk

Alas, my experience is the same as @John_R_Ellis  😞

Both the Title and Caption fields continue to truncate.

Screenshot of Title and Caption fields.  Context suggests both fields are truncated.

Let us know what you see.

@Rikk

Thanks so much for this!  10.1 hasn't hit my Creative Cloud yet, but as soon as it does, I'll give it a go!  Much appreciated!

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Just updated v10.1.1 and this issue is back. I'm on Mac OS 10.15.7. Very annoying.

[johnrellis]

And I now see the bug with your sample text, "Looking up columns under artificial light toward vaulted archways".  With other multi-line text, sometimes it works, sometimes not.

[Exuberant_Flair16E5]

I'm still seeing it, sad to say. Same LR 7.5 and Macos 10.13.6 as John.

I can't reproduce it in my LR 7.5 / Macos 10.13.6.

[Smit K]

Hi Rob,

Is it still reproducible with Lightroom Classic 7.5?

[rubyk58010202]

okay, Thanks for details John and Robtmann. We are looking into it.

Regards,
Ruby

This also happens with my LR 7.4 / Macos 10.13.5 / Macbook Pro Retina 15-in mid-2015:
